Jacob Blake is the recent victim of a police shooting in which they were reacting to him, ignoring commands and heading to his car. Look up, cops shot by and watch the videos of the people shooting the cops after going to their vehicle and retrieving their weapon. Now in the context of suspects retrieving their weapons and using them on officers think of this:

“In the footage, Blake walks from the sidewalk around the front of his SUV to his driver-side door as officers follow him with their guns pointed and shout at him. As Blake opens the door and leans into the SUV, an officer grabs his shirt from behind and opens fire while Blake has his back turned.”

That isn’t and should never be a justification, but to say that isn’t the reality of the cops well is ignoring the reality cops find themselves in. Also, the FaceBook image he has on his private personal page isn’t and shouldn’t hold any bearing on the case or facts.

Now, this isn’t a simple case of Jacob Blake smoked a blunt 15 years ago. As the official report, as indicated on FaceBook:

August 23, 2020

Media Release

At 5:11pm Kenosha Police Officers were sent to the 2800 block of 40th Street for a domestic incident and were involved in an officer involved shooting.

Officers provided immediate aid to the person. The person was transported via Flight for Life to Froedtert Hospital, Milwaukee. The person is in serious condition.

Kenosha Sheriff’s Department and Wisconsin State Patrol were requested immediately so that the scene could be turned over to an agency, other than Kenosha Police.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice (D.O.J.), Division of Criminal Investigation (D.C.I.) will be investigating this officer involved shooting. Further media releases will come directly from D.C.I. Inquiries should be directed to dojcommunications@doj.state.wi.us

They were responding to a domestic incident, and yes, Jacob did break up the fight between two women, so it was a domestic dispute. Unknown what was known and when it was known but say they ran his license plate and it came up he has a warrant out for his arrest, or was that information gathered after the fact and has no bearing on the course of events that transpired. Or how they mention he has pulled a gun in 2015 in a bar, which does not mean anything substantial but character building showing a history of his actions. Also, each case should not be broadly viewed as the bar situation is vastly different than the event that unfolded that caused him harm.

They deployed a taser, and it failed to stop Jacob, and that’s why it escalated, but type your first and last name in Google, or FaceBook and see how many similar to your appearance and age. Now think about the fact a man fitting his description, and without further information, one must assume they went on appearance being black and similar age group. Complicated with the fact the warrant is for a Jacob Blake who matches the description of the one who got shot, similar age group and his non-compliance:

“A 2015 story in Racine Eye described how “Racine police say K9 Dozer had to help officers take a man into custody when the man refused to go quietly into custody after he pulled a gun at a local bar.” The man was described as Jacob Blake, 24, of Racine, which makes him the same age as the man shot by police on August 23. The Racine Eye story said he was charged with “one felony count of resisting arrest causing a soft tissue injury to a police officer and one misdemeanor count each of carrying a concealed weapon, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, endangering safety-use of a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct.” Those charges don’t show up on the circuit court website though.”

“Blake and two women were at the Brass Monkey tavern, 1436 Junction Avenue, Saturday when Blake got into an argument with another patron and pulled a black handgun. Blake pointed the gun at the other man, and the magazine fell to the floor. The bartender told Blake to leave, and he did but then pointed the gun through the window at patrons inside the bar before walking south on Junction Avenue.”

All sources indicate he was breaking up a fight and refused to obey orders while the deployment of the taser failed to incapacitate the victim. With recent reporting that Jacob is paralyzed as reported ny NYPost:

“Jacob Blake, the 29-year old black Wisconsin man shot in the back by a white cop, is paralyzed from the waist down – and doctors don’t know if his injury is permanent, his father said in a new report”

But the rage felt by the community led to an officer being knocked out with a brick, stores looted and cars destroyed. Jacob Blake’s cousin asking for the people to keep the city quiet, as he is pulling through, was undeaded as one can easily find out. Now I like many want the body camera footage and to know if they were acting in the heat of the moment or were the cops acting on Jacob’s matching the description and having the same name (again google your name see how many you share it with) causing the elevated response

I hope he pulls through and survives and proves his innocence with the revealed history of a person who share his name and description. I also hope the rioting and looting stops, and he gets a just reward for the damage done to him.

Later reporting shows that the cops were called on Jacob Blakely as he was trespassing and refused to return the keys to the girlfriend who he took the keys from as reported by MEAWW website:

“KENOSHA, WISCONSIN: Dispatch audio has revealed that Jacob Blake was shot immediately after the police officers arrived at the scene. The Black man was shot several times on Sunday, August 23, as he tried to enter a vehicle. The Kenosha police who reportedly responded to the 2800 block of 40th Street after receiving a complaint of “family trouble” shot Blake in the back numerous times less than three minutes after their arrival. The Journal Sentinel, a part of USA TODAY Network, has reported that the police radio traffic is from Broadcastify – the world’s largest source of public safety, aircraft, rail, and marine radio live audio streams. The outlet has also taken information from police radio transmissions, Kenosha police, video, and witnesses.

According to the timeline of the report, at around 5 pm on Sunday, a neighbor saw Blake barbecuing outside his apartment. By 5:11 pm, cops were sent to the 29-year-old’s address over a complaint of “family trouble”. A dispatcher told officers that a woman said Blake “isn’t supposed to be there and he took the complainant’s keys and is refusing to give them back”. The dispatcher also informed officers that an alert has been issued for a person there due to some reason, known in police radio code as a 10-99, at that address. It has been reported that an arrest warrant was issued for Blake stemming from a domestic case in May.

At 5:13:47 in the evening, one of the officers asked the dispatcher how Blake looks, they were told that the complainant had told the that Blake was trying to leave. And when the dispatcher tried to get Blake’s vehicle description, she reportedly became uncooperative, leaving cops with no information on the vehicle. The officer then told the dispatcher that he had arrived at the scene.

By 5:14:28 pm, another officer also arrived there and at 5:15:37 pm, a third officer asked the dispatcher to send three more squads. Around that time, a witness filmed a video that showed Blake and two cops tussling on the ground on the passenger side of a small gray SUV. The brawl happened less than two minutes after the first cop arrived.

While a different video taken by another person showed three officers – two males and one female – with their guns in their hands and behind Blake as he walked from the sidewalk around the front of the car. The two male cops were closer to the Black man and as he tried to enter the SUV, one of them grabbed his shirt and shot him in the back at close range. Blake was reportedly shot seven times, the sound of which was followed by the car’s horn as he fell forward.”
