No Charges Against Police Officers in Jacob Blake Shooting in Kenosha
Breitbart ^ | 1/5/2021 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 01/05/2021 2:43:34 PM PST by Kazan

Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced Tuesday afternoon that no police would face criminal charges in the August 2020 shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake Jr., which triggered large riots in the Wisconsin town.

Blake was shot seven times from behind after an altercation with police who were trying to arrest him on Aug. 23. Blake was wanted on charges that included sexual assault, and his alleged victim called 911 after he came to her residence. He fought police and evaded a Taser, allegedly reaching for a knife inside his car before he was shot. He is paralyzed from the waist down; he pleaded guilty to lesser charges in November and received two years’ probation in a deal with prosecutors.

What’s the weather like? Do they have riots in the winter? Would they riot in the snow?

And the millions he's about to get from Kenosha in the settlement should make the parole easier to take.

Wisconsin? If they let the snow interfere they wouldn't do anything from October through March.

It has been a mild winter around here, so I expect there will be some action.

Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced Tuesday afternoon...

I wonder about the timing of the District Attorney's announcement. He's a Democrat.

On the eve of the big patriot DC protest/celebration, we get Democrat DA Graveley firing up the bad guys.

My wife and I were watching the press conference on ABC’s Chicago affiliate. And look who’s standing behind the father...good ole Jesse Jackass. I wonder how much he shookdown the family to make his appearance?

Speaking of appearance, he’s not looking too healthy these days.
