BABY-FACED MILITIA GUN NUT
Jacob Blake was shot by a Kenosha, Wis., cop less than three minutes after police arrived at the scene on a report of a domestic disturbance, according to a new timeline of the shooting.
Blake, 29, had been barbecuing outside his Kenosha home on Sunday when police received a call about “family trouble” at the address.
A dispatcher told cops that Blake “isn’t supposed to be there and he took the complainant’s keys and is refusing to give them back,” according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The first officer arrived at 5:13 p.m. and was followed by a second less than a minute later, the newspaper reported.
Shortly after 5:15 p.m., Blake got into in a brief struggle with three cops, who attempted to stun him with a Taser.
Widely circulated video shows Blake then walking around to the driver’s-side door of his SUV with the officers following close behind, with guns drawn and pointed at him.
Police Officer Rusten Sheskey, a seven-year veteran of the Kenosha Police Department, is seen in the video tugging on Blake’s tank top before firing seven shots into Blake’s back.
“Shots fired!” one of the cops says over radio. “We need rescue ASAP!”
Police said they found a knife in the SUV.
With state troopers arriving to secure the scene, Blake was taken to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, where he underwent surgery.
Doctors said he is paralyzed from the waist down.
Blake’s three young sons were in the SUV at the time of the shooting, his family said.
The boys, ages 3, 5 and 8, are scarred for life and will need professional counseling, their uncle, Justin Blake, told TMZ.
He told the news outlet that the family is seeking a therapist for the boys and will make a decision over the next few days.
The children have yet to visit their critically wounded father in the hospital, he added.
The boys, among Jacob Blake’s six children, have been staying with relatives since the shooting.
Julia Jackson, Blake’s mother, has been getting substantial financial help since creating a GoFundMe page on Monday.
The online crowd-funding campaign, called Justice for Jacob Blake, had collected more than $1.8 million of its $2 million target figure as of Thursday evening.
