Officials with the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation on Wednesday evening, Aug. 26 released the name of the officer who shot Jacob Blake Sunday, Aug. 23, Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey, a seven-year veteran. DOJ officials said Blake "admitted that he had a knife in his possession" Sunday evening.

Blake says Blake had a knife, too.
Plugs finally, after all this time, said something about “ending the violence” today, after MONTHS of rioting and looting. And he only did it because the rioting and looting is dragging down Rat poll numbers and focus group results.
But if you listen to his full phony baloney Twitter statement, Plugs spent 90 percent of time condemning racist police, “system racism,” casting Blake as a poor innocent victim of police brutality, blah blah, BLAH.
Plugs’s “condemnation” of the rioting and looting is a JOKE.
He is an absolutely craven, dishonest, phony PIECE OF SH*T!
But But, he is still a hero cause he had a knife and stuff, according to the commie left so let’s destroy things/sarc
...... “The first time in my life that I’ve been proud of the country. ... Bla Bla. Bla”..... The bitch 0butwad. ..
Yes. Here’s the knife.

And the video that it came from.

YET AGAIN... if he had not resisted arrest he would be juuusssttttt fine right now.
I don’t care if he had a knife. A car full of kids is both a deadly weapon and a hostage situation.
It is not photogenic, but the cop did the right thing.
This was a suicide.
The media is reprehensible. THEY caused the riots with inflammatory and slanted headlines and stories.
Remember, Terrorists used Box Cutters to take down four Airliners on 9/11.
DCI agents recovered a knife from the driver’s side floorboard of Blake’s vehicle.
So yes, that’s why the police scattered away from Blake on the other side of the vehicle and pulled their weapons (video link in my last comment). It was self-defense on the part of the officer. Let him go, and retain him on the Police Department! Give him an award!
It sure seems you are right. I really wish people would hold off until the facts come out but that would go against the narrative especially if it is the media.
How did they know it was his car with his kids? Could have been stealing a car with someone else’s kids.
Or, even if they knew they were his kids, are they supposed to let an armed violent man flee with kids in the car?
“He brought a knife to a ...“
******************************
And, by the way he was acting, in the cop’s mind he could have well been reaching for something that was more dangerous in the car.
It’s not about facts, but creating a narrative that fits their agenda; see also Crump, Sharpton, Don Lemon, et al.
Their playbook, (sorry for any dead links):

EXCERPTS
In Trayvon’s case, (Parks & Crump) alerted the news media more quickly. They phoned the Rev. Al Sharpton almost instantly, and organized marches with local civil rights activists. They also started pressing for federal involvement and alleging a cover-up from the get-go.

“In court, you have the jury,” Crump says. “Our job is to get the case to a jury. We need to fight first in the court of public opinion. The jury is the American people.
Someone Must Be Punished for Killing Trayvon Martin, Says Mom Sybrina Fulton

EXCERPT
The now controversial killing of Trayvon garnered virtually no mainstream media attention in the days immediately after he was fatally shot, but that all changed when the teenager’s parents decided to hire civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and his law firm to get more answers on exactly how and why their son died.
“They called me the same day they were notified that their son was dead,’’ Crump told The Daily Beast. “When I heard their unarmed teenage son was shot to death, I just knew there’d be an arrest shortly. There wasn’t an arrest 48 hours later, and then I knew we’d have to take this outside of Sanford if we wanted justice.’’
Trayvon’s parents were told by the Sanford police that Zimmerman wasn’t arrested in their son’s death because the facts of the case did not dispute his claim of self-defense.
For Crump, taking the Trayvon Martin story outside of Sanford simply entailed dialing up a few well-placed friends such as the Rev. Al Sharpton. Crump worked closely with the civil rights leader in 2006 on another racially charged case—the controversial death of a 14-year-old, African-American inmate of a Florida boot camp.
“I had to call people like Sharpton and a few other black civil rights leaders and the black media to tell them about this story,’’ said Crump. “I had to get them to understand what happened to this young man and what hadn’t happened in his case so they could spread the word.’’
Historically, cases of murder and violence against blacks in the United States rarely have been given the same amount of attention as cases in which the victims of crime are white—and often go unnoticed and unprosecuted.
Just days after hearing the details of Trayvon’s death, Sharpton arranged to have Crump and the teenager’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, on his syndicated radio show and his popular MSNBC show, Politics Nation, to tell their story.
(snip)
In the wake of non-stop media attention from the likes of Sharpton and CNN’s Don Lemon concerning the Trayvon Martin case, black media blogs such as MediaTakeOut.com and Huffington Post Black Voices also began publishing accounts and editorials about the Florida case—daily. Almost instantly, readers of all races, ages, and backgrounds began tweeting and posting on Facebook their outrage over how the police have handled the case, and the lack of an arrest in the shooting. To date, almost 1 million people have signed a Change.Org petition to have Zimmerman arrested. In response to the widespread outrage, the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the shooting.
One of those Gutting Knives
“This wont matter at all to the rioters, arsonists and anarchists “
Or the other idiots who still believe Michael Brown and “hands up, don’t shoot “ and Trayvon Martin was an innocent teenager.
note that this isn’t just police saying they found a knife, they got Blake to CONFESS to having a knife. Harder (but not impossible) for the democrats to just argue the police planted the knife.
There is zero justification for EVER having violent protests. In the absense of violent protests, we EXPECT the police to do a full investigation and get the story right, before coming out.
It only matters now because the democrats (like the GOVERNOR) lie about what happened and stir up violent actions against police and innocent people.
I do hope the people in this city remember that their governor essentially told white liberals to burn their city down.
I hope the Black people remember the white liberals came to town and burned down the Black business district, NOT THEIR OWN HOMES.
The media companies have been endlessly repeating that Blake’s kids were in the car and witnessed the horror.
Irrelevant in a case of self-defense against Blake! Blake caused the horror that the kids endured—not the cop defending himself and others against Blake!
The rioters should be shot by National Guardsmen and police, BTW.
