Investigators say Blake admitted to having the knife in his possession
Wisconsin investigators gave an account of the controversial police shooting of Jacob Blake — with a crucial detail and also released the identity of the police officer who shot him.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigationreleased the details on Wednesday after two nights of violent protests, rioting and looting in Kenosha and other cities.
The account said that Kenosha Police Department officers responded to a call from a female saying that her boyfriend was refusing to leave her premises.
When they arrived, they attempted to arrest Blake, who resisted their commands. They tased him but he continued to resist. Officer Rusten Sheskey then fired at Blake seven times when he reached into his car.

I DEMAND the knife company admit fault, immediately close company, beg forgiveness and pay all medical bills.
We need to develop a real non-lethal device that stops people in their tracks and does not kill or cripple them.
Trash disposed of.
Hope the officer and his family have been moved to a safe location now that he has been identified.
Then One shot justified , but not 7 !!!
Okay, he was carrying a weapon, he was a felon and a sexual predator, but did he need to be shot 7 times?
I would have kicked the knife out of his hand.
The officer must have ran out of ammo.
you ever been entangled with lunatic criminal ????
they are dangerous, and general force will not work
it would have been better if the Officer used a wooden stake and drilled it into the demons heart
Man brought it on Himself !!! Can't blame police to begin with !!!
He was asking for it by Not Complying with police orders PERIOD !!!
It wasn't in his hand - it was found in the car. If having any sort of a knife in your car or truck is justification for a police officer shooting you, did pretty much every person pulled over for speeding on the Delmarva Peninsula would be dead. How many of you have some kind of pen knife or a Leatherman or a buck knife in your car or truck? I'd guess a lot of us.
Lee Stevens could fight a knifed man with one arm
Left hook right cross knock out. Easy work
821..... i better not see a knife in your vehicle
821 very unlikely he was fighting the police, sexually assaulted the women at the domestic, had a felony warrant, was tased, refused to listen, told police he had a knife, was going to the vehicle to get a weapon and hurt the kid in car or attack them again. I no it’s all a lie. But what I’m saying is I would kick the knife out of his hand soon as he grabbed it because I’m that good.
It was In his hand he was charging at the police yelling I am going to kill. I saw it and heard it. Now what ? Crickets.
Keep cheering
Superman wears Lee Stevens pajamas
That would be a seasoned police officer that fired 7 non lethal but paralyzing rounds from nearly point blank range. Sounds like our own highly skilled-attention-to-detail mall cops
Seven highly inaccurate times given it was point blank range! Leave the firearms to conservative gin owners who respect the right to bear enough to know how to properly use them.
We need to start holding cops accountable for their actions. Just because you have a badge and a few months of training shouldn't mean you're above the law just because of your occupation. There was no reason to shoot him once, let alone 7 times.
When a cop empties his chamber into your kid because a knife was found in his car...
You seem very well trained how would you handle it? A man that fought the cops, has a felony warrant (so fighting for his freedom) was tased refused orders, said he was getting a weapon n would kill them, goes to car, goes in car to get the weapon ???
My kid isn’t a rapist and would comply with the officers orders if pulled over and wouldn’t pull a weapon because he thinks the law doesn’t apply to him because he’s black !
Sounds like you are one of those types of officers that struggles to maintain even handedness with your entrusted power. And one that really doesn't deserve what we gave you.
He wasn't holding the knife and charging police. Have you even seen the video? If it was already in his hand, what was he reaching into the car for?
If black folks acted in a more civil manner 99% of their encounters with police officers would go much smoother.
12:28 That kid was a sexual predator and a woman abuser threatening police with a knife. But yea ok he dittin do nuttin 🙄
It would be ok for the Democrats if the police got stabbed by him , but
when they protect themselves, they get ALL the blame !!!
The knife is clearly seen in his left hand.

Why? Anyone that attempts to kill a police officer deserves to die.
Case and point, he disobeyed direct orders, consequences are a must. Simple.
