KENOSHA, Wis. - Officials with the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation on Wednesday evening, Aug. 26 released the name of the officer who shot Jacob Blake Sunday, Aug. 23, Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey, a seven-year veteran. DOJ officials said Kenosha police Sunday were dispatched to a residence in the 2800 block of 40th Street after a female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises.

During the incident, officers attempted to arrest Jacob S. Blake, age 29. Law enforcement deployed a taser to attempt to stop Mr. Blake, however the taser was not successful in stopping Mr. Blake.

Mr. Blake walked around his vehicle, opened the driver’s side door, and leaned forward. While holding onto Mr. Blake’s shirt, Officer Rusten Sheskey fired his service weapon 7 times. Officer Sheskey fired the weapon into Mr. Blake’s back. No other officer fired their weapon.

Kenosha Police Department does not have body cameras, therefore the officers were not wearing body cameras. During the investigation following the initial incident, Mr. Blake admitted that he had a knife in his possession. DCI agents recovered a knife from the driver’s side floorboard of Mr. Blake’s vehicle. A search of the vehicle located no additional weapons.


Cancel the season herrrrderrrrrr

Because this is evidence that it was a completely justified shooting and this whole thing is absurd.

He also had a warrant out for his arrest for rape

It makes me so angry that a degradation like this is being made into a victim


Fact: when you rape someone, you forfeit your right to be treated “fairly”.

That’s how the world works, how law works

What the frick else can the police do? Bro is not complying and is reaching into his car. You know he sure as hell ain’t reaching into his car to grab Jolly Ranchers to share with the officers.

Has LeBron come out and told people to follow directions and orders when talking to police?

facts don't matter. if they did, these black protestors and rioters would actually be protesting and rioting for whitey who gets killed more by police officers annually than black people do.

your ignorance ought to be what makes you so angry. first of all, it's a warrant and not a conviction. so now let's just shoot all people in the back who own a knife and are accused of a serious crime. there are no words for how dumb some of you are.

No, you in fact are supposed to be treated fairly based on the law.

I thought it was pretty obvious he had something in there. From what I saw, which might be different than other people, but it appeared he opened up the door and was going to reach down for something, the police had him by the shirt to try and pull him back and then the police fired as a reaction to something. Was he making threats?

Whatever happened, the police appeared to be reacting. It seemed like they were giving him every opportunity to stop. Like I said, the police even grabbed him by the shirt to try and pull him back.

So, it's your job to apprehend a person with a known history of attacks. You're asking him to comply with you and he starts to reach for something in his car.
What would you do?
Note: you have 2.0 seconds to make this life or death decision about whether your wife and kids will ever see you again.

When they are told to stop at gunpoint multiple times and continue into a vehicle......yes

He committed death by cop. Hardly a martyr
