Wisconsin Lt. Governor, Mandela Barnes:
Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes said Monday the police shooting of a Black man by Kenosha officers "wasn't an accident," after the man was shot seven times in the back "in front of his children."
"This wasn't bad police work," Barnes said in an address Monday. "This felt like some sort of vendetta taken out on a member of our community."
Speaking alongside Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, Barnes said "the irony isn't lost on me that Jacob Blake was actually trying to deescalate a situation in his community, but the responding officer didn't feel the need to do the same."
Wisconsin Gov Evers
“Evers on Sunday night condemned the shooting of the man, saying in a statement that “while we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.”

Thanks for the link. Worth the time to read.
It’s still not clear why you posted a year-old article. Did some new information about this come out?
Blake also WAS NOT trying to DE-ESCALATE a darn thing.
He was armed with a knife
He was trying to steal the car
His kids were in the back seat of the car & he DID NOT have custody.
Blake ADMITTED in court that he caused the whole thing.
Is this politician that UNINFORMED???
Get the cheese curds out of your ears, dearie....
