I think the Jacob Blake stuff is a little muddled compared to other incidents recently in police violence against African Americans. There are reports that he had a knife, was told to stop, they tried tasting him and it didn't work and he said that he was going to go grab a gun. Now does he need to be shot 7 times probably not.
I would say the the same police department held the Bucks player Sterling Brown at gun point and put a knee on him over a parking ticket and he is saying they offered him a large some of money to not say anything. I do think context matters on why for the Bucks this really hits home

It also doesn't help that two of the protesters were shot and killed by a 17-year old white kid who had been wielding a gun openly all evening. This serves to only further divide and inflame matters.
