The cop who shot Jacob Blake in the back a total of seven times, crippling him from the waist down, will face zero charges. Rusten Sheskey, the white Kenosha Wisconsin cop, shot 27-year-old Jacob a total of seven times as the accosted Blake, who walked away from them, opened the door to his car, and leaned into the vehicle.
No gun was found in the vehicle, even though the public was told that Blake had a knife in the vehicle.
In America, the police can murder anyone, more so black citizens, using any number of irrational reasons, and are guaranteed to face no penalty.
Blake suffered injuries to his arm, kidney, liver, and spinal cord, according to Patrick Salvi Jr., one of his attorneys.
“He had a bullet go through some or all of his spinal cord, at least one bullet. He has holes in his stomach,” Salvi said last August. “He had to have nearly his entire colon and small intestines removed.”
From his hospital bed in August of 2020, Blake shared a video message with his supporters.
“Your life and not only just your life, your legs — something that you need to move around, to move forward in life — can be taken like this, man,” he said, snapping his fingers.
