The Wisconsin police officer who shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha last August will not be disciplined or charged with any crime and is back on active duty, cops said.

Officer Rusten Sheskey shot Blake, 29, in the back seven times on August 23 in front of his children and left him paralyzed from the waist down while officers responded to a 911 call about an alleged 'domestic incident.'

Sheskey had been placed on administrative leave after the incident but returned to work on March 31 after the shooting was investigated 'by an outside agency,' the Kenosha Police Department announced on Twitter on Tuesday.

Let the riots recommence?

This result is brave and required in the battle to stop the BLM de-civilizing of our country.

The Law is being followed, this is a victory.

Have the retailers removed the cellphones, TVs and basketball shoes from the city?

Isn’t he out on bail? Charges need to be dropped against him (0% chance) and the McCloskeys who really did nothing at all.

The same officer that shot Jacob Blake point-blank in the back 7 times, and you believe that to have been a good shoot?

They were trying to arrest him, and he was resisting. Was he reaching for a gun?

What difference does it make, when his back is turned? You’re some kind of amazing bootlicker to be overlooking such obvious facts.

I did not say that.

I said the investigative board followed the law.

You know yourself that the perp was reaching for a knife while resisting arrest. That justified lethal force.

Police officers are not yet required to undergo the risk of being stabbed and killed to arrest someone.

There wasn’t anything particularly good about it, that’s a separate question entirely, whether it was good or not.It was a mess .

It sucks for Jacob but he let his anger control him and it cost him. Young men are prone to that kind of thing.

Now that you mention it, I am up for rioting in front of her house in Topeka canyon, throwing a few bricks through her windows. She wouldn’t mind right?

There are times when shooting someone in the back once or 7 time is justifiable.

This was one of them.

He was reaching for a knife. That will get you shot every time.
