No Police Officers to Be Charged<br />Over Shooting of Jacob Blake.<br />On Tuesday, Kenosha County District Attorney<br />Michael Graveley announced that no officers would<br />face charges in the shooting of Jacob Blake. .<br />In his statement, Graveley said his<br />decision was based on “the facts and laws.” .<br />It is my decision now that<br />no Kenosha law enforcement<br />officer will be charged with<br />any criminal offense based<br />on the facts and laws, Michael Graveley, via CNN.<br />Graveley’s decision applies to Officer Rusten Sheskey,<br />who was responsible for shooting Blake seven times<br />in the back in front of his three children. .<br />It also includes the two other officers involved, <br />Vincent Arenas and Brittany Meronek. .<br />Officer Sheskey shot Blake on August 23, 2020, <br />while responding to a domestic incident. .<br />Sheskey said that he used deadly force because he was afraid Blake was trying to kidnap a child in the back seat of his car. .<br />Officials also said that Blake was<br />“armed with a knife,” although he<br />willingly told authorities he had one. .<br />There was no point in the video that is<br />articulable for an officer to say that he was<br />under harm at that particular point. I think<br />that's completely bogus and I think that is<br />just a rationalization to try to show what<br />is really, essentially, an intentional act, Blake Family Attorney B'Ivory LaMarr, via CNN
