As we reported earlier Sunday evening, a Black man, reportedly unarmed, was shot seven times in the back by an officer or officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The man, reportedly named Jacob Blake, is either in critical or very serious condition at a local hospital.

Here was the incident caught on video by a neighbor. Blake reportedly had intervened to break up a fight between two women. Officers arrived, and for whatever reason Blake was tasered, then got up and made a move to get in a car, when he was shot.

UPDATE: The man reportedly had a warrant out for his arrest.

Now as darkness has fallen in Wisconsin, angry mobs have taken to the streets of Kenosha, and are openly attacking police.

This officer was hit in the back of the head with a BRICK, and knocked out cold. No report yet on his condition (Graphic video):

Per Twitter, he just died.
If a cop gives you orders with his gun drawn, just comply. This didn’t have to happen. Now it’s going to drown out the RNC convention.

Another one that should have listened to Chris Rock.

Had to assume he was getting his gun.

But if folks don’t want the police doing the policing, I know a whole bunch of people who would be glad to step in and do the job....their way.

In the academy cadets are taught that if they are ever on the wrong side of the law or in deep cover and taken into custody there is NO RIGHT to resist even an illegal arrest.

As one tweet response pointed out, you can pause the video and see a long knife or something very similar in his hand as he walks around the front of his car. That's why they didn't tackle or wrestle him. Yet most of the other tweet responses completely ignore that. Sounds like he was not unarmed.

If the guy had no weapon, the shooter very likely will be charged with murder. From the video there were enough cops to physically take him down without shooting him.

He pulled something out just before he got in the car.

Another thug. He didn’t want to go to jail and this is what happened. Criminal trespass, Domestic abuse, sexual assault, disorderly and that is just what the warrant was for. He should have stayed in Illinois.
I hate how these events are making me feel.

I’m not sure what you see or think you see. There is a reflection on the top of the fender, which looks a little like a knife.

The video is horrific.

That said... another Democrat city, in another Democrat state.

Democrats own it 100%.
