Rusten Sheskey, the police officer in Kenosha, Wiscconsin, who shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times in August, paralyzing him from the waist down and sparking protests, will not face charges for the incident, Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Gravely announced Tuesday.

Yep. The riots will start tonight.

I trust that cops tonight will arrest anybody out beyond curfew. For Kyle's sake.

None of the media reports included reference to what Blake was reaching for inside of the car at the time of the shooting.

Was it a weapon?

How very interesting that Yahoo wants everyone to know about some conflict between a cop and a black person!

I've been watching the live press conference since 3:30. The DA very clearly laid out the case. Blake was armed with a knife before he went to the car. Blake was not shot in the back because he's a black man. This is what the family is still saying though.

I hope there will be a link to a recording of the press conference. Do not make any judgements until you see the press conference.
