So it has been 6 days since Jacob Blake III was shot in Kenosha and a lot of the” fog of war” has cleared on the “incident”. And a little update is in order.
We now know that that police were responding to a 911 call from that location from a woman who said Blake was at her home and he was not supposed to be there and that he had taken her property. Responding officers were also informed by the dispatcher that the subject (Blake) had a 99 on him, a wanted or outstanding warrant.
Additional video has emerged from the passenger side of his car showing him “scuffling” with 3 police officers. While the video is shaky a lawyer from the police union said Blake put one of the officers in a headlock and that 2 of the officers fired their tasers in unsuccessful attempts to subdue him.
Blake then broke free from the police and video taken from the driver’s side shows him walking rapidly around the front of the car with a knife in his left hand (he subsequently admitted to police that he possessed a knife). The individual taking the video told police and the press that he heard the officers repeatedly order Blake to “drop the knife”. Blake disregarded their commands and proceeded to open the driver’s car door. A police officer identified as PO Rusten Sheskey attempted to prevent Blake from entering or reaching into the car by pulling on his shirt. Having failed in that attempt Sheskey fired 7 rounds from his handgun, striking Blake 4 times. A knife was recovered from the floor of the car.
An early report that Blake was acting as a “peacemaker” in a dispute between 2 women now appears to be untrue but that has not prevented the media from continuing to promulgate it in an effort to shape the narrative.
The outstanding warrant stemmed from a May 3rd incident involving Blake’s ex-girlfriend with whom he has 3 of his 6 children where it is alleged that he entered her home at 6 am and sexually abused her in the presence of at least one of their children (if you want the specifics of what he is accused of doing I suggest you look at the NY Post archives). The other 3 children I speculate were the ones left in his car while he violated the order protection. You know the ones the media characterize as being traumatized from watching their father being shot.
So there you have it. Kenosha police responded to a domestic incident, involving an armed wanted man who refused to be arrested, physically attacked a least one officer, ignored several verbal commands, and after several unsuccessful non-lethal attempts to subdue him were finally forced to take him down with lethal force.
The officers went home that night to their families bruised but alive. As it should be. I pray sensible prosecutors find this was a good shoot and don’t succumb to the clamor of race hustlers like Crump and Jackson.
