1931

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.

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

THIS is what happens with bystanders with cellphones. It is clear as day the man shot Himself. You see the gun clearly. But with social media and quick judgements the city became unhinged with riots. The person who captured the video and posted it should be charged with inciting, among other charges.

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.
