The Jacob Blake incident in Kenosha, WI on Sunday August 23 2020

After a black man was shot seven times in the back by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday, 23 August, people angry about police violence began protesting. Limited law enforcement in Kenosha has led to individuals and groups taking the law into their own hands during the unrest, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Professional Police Association said. An overnight curfew is in place in the city from 19:00 - 07:00, lasting until Sunday. Community leaders have urged people to respect the curfew; however the violent protestors are obviously violating the curfew; We call on all curfew violators to be arrested.

There have been days of demonstrations and unrest after Mr Blake's shooting.

On Tuesday, a small group threw fireworks and water bottles at police in Kenosha, who responded with rubber bullets and tear gas.

Videos from Tuesday show armed civilians in military clothes congregating outside buildings in the city. Kenosha had descended into "anarchy" after being "abandoned" by authorities. A few days later, after a few deaths among the protestors and horrible arson and destruction of property, more than 200 FBI agents are being sent to Kenosha to try to bring order to the city, and the White House says 2,000 National Guard members are available to go.

The Problem of Disobedience

The reason why so many black suspects are getting shot and killed by the police is because of disobedience. They do not obey police commands. The entire Black Lives Matter movement (with which we are NOT AFFILIATED in any way) is also disobedience - and it is disobedience which is going to get people killed.  We need to address what police are suppossed to do, and what they are allowed to do when they issue a command to a citizen, and when the citizen disobeys. George Floyd resisted arrest and that got him killed. It shouldn't have gotten him killed, of course, and we have already called for the prosecution of all 4 police officers involvved in that murder for 1st degree murder, but it is a fact that Floyd refused to get into the police car when ordered to. He became physically violent and fought, although handcuffed, with officers physically refusing to allow them to put him into the police car. That, and a corrupt system of justice that has not punished murderous police officers and which gives police far too many powers over citizens, got George Floyd killed. Michael Brown was killed when he disobeyed a police command to stop. The list is endless. Almost all police killings are in response to a suspect who does not obey their commands. So, what are the police suppossed to do when a suspect disobeys the police? There is a REAL problem of disobedience in the USA.
