Jacob made some bad decisions. The officers didn't make good decisions to deal with Jacob's actions. Basically, 'Murica.
Yeah, it's possible prosecutors could take the excessive force angle and endangering the occupants of the vehicles. That might work. But the defense could also argue that if the police allowed Blake to enter his vehicle, he may have tried to escape in his car. With the kids present in the car, that would obviously present a danger to the kids and it would have presented a danger to others on the road.

I'm no lawyer or legal scholar, just spitballing here.

Complying with an arrest is slavery. Right

Yes that is correct.

Jacob Blake is paralyzed from waist down and has 'eight holes in his body' after being shot in the back by cops in front of his son on his eighth birthday - as new video emerges of him fighting with officers moments before

It's looking more and more likely.

She's going to punish you and OH for being naughty Americans.

If a cop tells me to suck their dick I'm not going to comply I don't care if Fluff thinks I deserve to get shot or not.

I know the pig apologists will say now there’s more video that show him fighting the police now we have the whole story ignoring the fact that this fight started 400 years ago.

I don't know much about the American justice system, but I know enough to know you should take that statement much more seriously than you're doing. How black people in America are treated by police and justice is grim. Something very different from what you (or I for that matter) are used to.
Also, repeating what others have said: not complying with police isn't sensible, but killing someone because they don't is in no way a deserved response, and it isn't self defense either. It's just outrageously cruel, whichever way you frame it

I must have missed what I'm sure is the completely rational explanation for this.
