Sarah Taylor – The Blaze Sept 1, 2020
The Kenosha Police Union on Friday released its to-date account on the moments that led up to the shooting of Jacob Blake by a police officer on Aug. 23.
New allegations about the encounter appear to show that the interaction was far more involved than what it seemed on the surface: Blake reportedly confronted officers, placed one of them in a headlock, and was armed with a knife that he refused to drop — all before a Kenosha police officer was able to fire his service weapon.
What’s a very brief history here?
Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey reportedly shot Blake in the back seven times last week during a call for a domestic dispute. Blake’s family has said he is paralyzed from the waist down because of the shooting.
Since then, violent riots and out-of-control protests in Blake’s honor have erupted across the U.S., putting further strain and pressure on police-community relations.
What are the details?
Kenosha Police Union attorney Brendan Matthews said that Blake was armed with a knife at a residence other than his own when Sheskey and other officers arrived on the scene, WCCO-TV reported.
Blake was reportedly at the residence of his ex-girlfriend, who accused him of sexual assault in May. Blake’s ex-girlfriend called police, alleging that he was attempting to steal her keys and vehicle. Reports say that because of the alleged May assault, Blake was not supposed to be at her residence at all.
When officers arrived, Blake reportedly fought against them and even allegedly placed one in a headlock.
“The officers first saw [Blake] holding the knife while they were on the passenger side of the vehicle,” Matthews explained.
Sheskey later shot Blake in the back while the two engaged on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice continues to investigate the incident.
On Friday, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said that the agency can neither confirm nor deny the union’s statement on the chain of events that led to Blake’s shooting, but did point out that Blake was, in fact, in possession of a knife.
What else do we know about the police officer?
In a 2019 interview with the Kenosha News, Sheskey said he long wanted to be a police officer to help people.
“What I like most [about being an officer] is that you’re dealing with people on perhaps the worst day of their lives, and you can try and help them as much as you can and make that day a little bit better,” he said at the time. “And that, for the most part, people trust us to do that for them. And it’s a huge responsibility, and I really like trying to help people. We may not be able to make a situation right, or better, but we can maybe make it a little easier for them to handle during that time.”
Policing apparently runs in the family: Sheskey’s grandfather served as an officer for the City of Kenosha for 33 years.

The mainstream media in the United States (mostly Jewish controlled) won’t show the images.
It’s unsustainable for the law to make Blacks equal to people when Nature never did.It is one of the first 2 plus 2 =5 impositions.
Difficult situation. While I do NOT blindly condone the officer for firing his service weapon 7 times in the back of the suspect it will always be important to see what led to this unfortunate event. I imagine more will come out of this case. THE MAJOR QUESTION I HAVE IN THESE CASES IS WHY DO THESE SUSPECTS ALWAYS …AND I MEAN ALWAYS …AND AGAIN I MEAN ALWAYS MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THESE OFFICERS IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS CONFLICT.. I GUESS THE WORD COMPLY DOESN’T EXIST FOR THESE SUSPECTS. SIMPLE COMPLIANCE WOULD AVOID THESE UNFORTUNATE OUTCOMES. In any event ( I do believe excessive force was used) all my sympathies to the family of this suspect and also to the suspect himself as he has to live most probably with this paralysis the rest of his life.
Caucasian civilization & bipedal apes are incompatible. If gentile whites want to survive & prosper on this planet, the only solution for them is to create their own all-white nation-state devoid of the bipedal apes & their perpetual criminal chaos. But the anti-white Jews who furtively govern & pervert all these ‘white western’ nations will forcefully oppose that enterprise with their police & military. Most moronic whites would combat it as well, due to their Jewish Christian-Communist egalitarian conditioning about ‘all are one in Christ’ & ‘workers of the world unite’…
Clear off Joel you jewish far left spineless liberal

Now the news and police reported falsely that he did all those things…nope!!! In fact the police said he pounded on the back of the ambulance and caused a serious disturbance. He didnt! Lol…i know come out from under rocks and hate on me…racist xxxxheads on here…..lmfao
Inciting racism, brown vs white, is another Divide and Conquer tactic like dems vs pubs, Muslims vs Christians, north vs south, east vs west, women vs men, young vs old, Catholics vs Protestants, etc.
Every time the jews media hypes a new video of a brown person being arrested or shot, it turns out be fake racism. The jews media edits out parts of the video or other evidence which contradicts their racism angle.
It’s all about fake racism to incite brown people against white people, start riots, loot, burn, destroy Christianity, white culture, and subordinate the USA under the UN.
Been NOTICING a lot, lately of “object insertions” in videos. All to made one group look better than the other. All I saying is that I didn’t see that object when I first saw the video. Calling XXXXXXXX.
