Wisconsin DOJ confirms that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife when he was shot by a police officer
August 26, 2020
The Jacob Blake case continues to become more complicated as the Wisconsin Department of Justice has confirmed that Blake was armed with a knife when he was shot seven times by a Kenosha police officer.
According to DOJ: Kenosha Police Department officers 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.
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.
Officers were yelling for Blake to "drop the knife" as they followed him around the car. He then opened the door and lunged for something as the officer grabbed the back of his shirt and fired. Blake was either lunging for the knife on the floorboard or it fell from his hand.
BREAKING: the media narrative is already falling apart. Jacob Blake was not "breaking up a fight" (I told you from the start that was BS). A woman called 911 to report that he was at her house and shouldn't be. He stole her keys. Cops responding were aware of his warrants.
