The officer who shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has been tried and convicted by Democrats, the media, and truth-be-damned activists before the case is resolved. It’s a mirror image of the Michael Brown shooting (the officer was cleared) in Ferguson, Missouri, and the death in Minneapolis of George Floyd (the officer has yet to go to trial).

They should be ashamed of their behavior. They quit on the employers who pay their soaring salaries, and estranged themselves from their fans, who provide the dollars the owners use to compensate the players.
The facts about the Blake case do not show a group of white officers taking advantage of a crisis situation so they could shoot another black man. Reports indicate a starkly different story – the policemen were there to protect a woman, a black woman, we’re assuming, based on what we’ve learned, from Blake.

Here’s what is being reported:
- Police were called to the scene because Blake was violating a restraining order, says the union that represents Kenosha officers.
- The restraining order was in place due to allegations Blake had sexually assaulted a woman after breaking into her home.
- The criminal complaint also said Blake also stole the woman’s automobile and debit card.
- State investigators found a knife on the driver’s side of Blake’s vehicle, where he was shot.
- The union says he had the knife in his hand when he was arrested.
- A still image from a video taken before he was shot shows Blake with something in his left hand that could be a knife.
- Before the shooting, Blake resisted arrest, fought with officers, placed one in a headlock, and was tased twice, in an effort to use non-deadly force to prevent the escalation that occurred.
