One Kenosha officer fired all seven shots into Jacob Blake’s back this past weekend. His name is Rusten Sheskey. He is a seven-year veteran of the police department.

Blake, 29, was seriously wounded on Sunday afternoon while resisting arrest. He is expected to survive but is currently paralyzed from the waist down.

He might have had a knife on him at the time of the attempted arrest that he was ordered to drop and definitely had a knife under the floorboards of his car.

Mr. Blake was shot as he reached into his car.

There had been a tussle on the passenger side of the car, where he was tased before he walked around to the driver’s side and reached into the car. He was near the knife at the time.

The police went to the address after a woman called allegedly saying Blake was violating a court order to stay away and stole her keys.

Blake has a warrant out for his arrest and a rap sheet. Charges and /or complaints include sexual assault, domestic abuse, firearms charges. The police knew this at the time of the arrest.

  1. Had Blake complied with the cops, he would not be in the hospital today. He would not be paralyzed. He would not have been shot.But don’t expect to hear any of that from Democrats or CNN/MSNBC

  2. People seem Not to have noticed that the increase in Police shootings have become more prevalent at a time when individuals are much more willing to shoot AT a cop. The use of guns by inner city youth is widespread and became more so with many rap “artists”. How many of the shootings within inner cities are gang on gang violence, with some innocents in the crossfire. Therein is the REAL tragedy. I suspect many have overlooked many crime ridden cities as Kansas City, Mo. and Chicago simply Because of gang against gang. They are killing themselves so why should the public give a damn. Unfortunately it is the Very young who are also ignored. Has one damn “black lives matter” protest ever named even One very young child. Instead all the protests are about “career criminals” losing Their lives and to hell with the truly innocent. Until Black leaders across the country wake up and make every effort to end the gang violence this will never end. Police brutality and shootings are Not the problem. It has become a “Culture”. It’s a culture of rap artists glorifying violence. How many have spoken up against police and talked about That “culture”. It’s a culture of violence that is suppressed rather than acknowledged. This issue cannot be solved by outsiders coming in and determining their future. First, it has to be owned and admitted and maybe then change can occur. Play the victim and you will always BE a victim.

  3. None of this information has been confirmed. Beware of the genesis of a false narrative to blame the victim in this case. The offending police officer acted with malice intent.

    • malice intent my ass. The guy was assaulting the cops as he resisted arrest, had a knife, refused to comply. The “victim” had the cops called on him because he visiting a woman he wasn’t suppose to visit.
      He was a convicted sexual assaulter and domestic abuser.
      He’s a piece of garbage, and so is anyone who defends him.
