Jacob Blake's family is upset that Rusten Sheskey is allowed back on patrol after shooting Blake 7 times in the back. On Tuesday, the Kenosha Police Department announced that Sheskey was clear of all wrongdoing.
Jacob Blake sat down for an emotional interview with Michael Strahan on GMA about his tragic Kenosha shooting incident. Earlier this month, the court ruled in favor of Rusten Sheskey, the police officer who fired 7 shots at Blake. He will face no charges.
Reports revealed on Wednesday that no charges would be brought against Kenosha cop Rusten Sheskey who shot Jacob Blake in the back 7 times following a dispute back in August of last year.
Jacob Blake, the black man shot in the back by Kenosha, Wisconsin police is reportedly paralyzed. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Jacob's father, Jacob Blake Sr., is eager to get to him and driving from Charlotte, North Carolina to the hospital where there are “eight holes” in his son’s body. The elder Blake told the publication that his son is paralyzed from the waist down and doctors don’t yet know if the injury is permanent. “I want to put my hand on my son’s cheek and kiss him on his forehead, and then I’ll be OK,” his father said. “I’ll kiss him with my mask. The first thing I want to do is touch my son.” The elder Blake also confirmed that his son has six children between ages three and 13 and Jacob was gearing up to celebrate one of the children's eighth birthday on the day he was shot. The father was baffled to hear that his son was struck eight times while several of those kids bore witness.
