Media is at it again.
It seems at every point, they are trying to whip up controversy and divide.
The verdict came in today in the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha. The prosecutor decided not to charge the police officers who shot and injured Blake.
Why? Because among other things, he was tased twice (it didn’t take), resisting arrest and was armed with a knife which he refused to drop during his encounter with the police.
Kenosha District Attorney says it is "incontrovertible" that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife.

But you wouldn’t know that if you just read the media accounts reporting on the verdict coming in today.
Kenosha District Attorney Michael Gravely: "It is absolutely incontrovertible that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife during this encounter."

So apparently having a knife is now “unarmed.” Sounds like when Joe Biden claimed that (yes, he actually talked about a guy having a knife and then claimed he was ‘unarmed0.
Not one of these media folks got it right. Nor did most of them seem to care about the facts, when they were obviously trying to push a narrative to jack people up. Even Jacob Blake admitted he had a knife. So how bad are these folks at their jobs.
The Washington Post did later correct their tweet, noting they had initially put “unarmed” because the family said unarmed. Seriously? The families always say unarmed. Where is looking at the actual evidence in the case? Just seriously bad reporting. But at least they corrected themselves, unlike many of the others. Of course, many people will only see the initial wrong report and never read the correction.
We’ve deleted a previous tweet that incorrectly described Jacob Blake as unarmed. While his family has said he was not armed when shot by police, prosecutors on Tuesday said video evidence depicts him holding a knife. The story has been corrected.

The DA is now showing video of Blake WITH the knife
and
audio of people yelling at him to drop the knife.
Then he provided a PHOTOGRAPH of the knife.
That Blake HIMSELF testified later that he HAD!
And the Washington Post IS just GOING Infowars on this.

Prosecutors: video evidence that Jacob Blake was holding a knife when he was shot.
This comes as no surprise to those who read the eyewitness accounts – including from 3d parties. Willful blindness turned this into a political cause. It wasn’t, and shouldn’t have been. https://t.co/3UGB7EPqnZ— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) January 6, 2021
They’ve had hours now to get it straight, but MSNBC was still lying tonight.
.@MsPackyetti: It's not about bad apples. Police shoot unarmed Black people like Jacob Blake because of a bad system.https://t.co/DLPBn0YHPw

They really want there to be riots, it seems, and they must be unhappy there haven’t been yet.
