Jacob Blake appears to be the name of the man shot seven times by police in Kenosha Wisconsin earlier tonight. Details about the shooting situation are scant, but Jacob Blake didn’t appear to pose any threat to police. He didn’t appear to have any sort of weapon and was simply going to his vehicle. Of course, we’ll learn more later as details leak out. Jacob Blake is 29 years old and is in serious condition.

Watched the Kenosha video and I already feel sick knowing people are going to try to defend the police. There's no instance where an unarmed man should be shot in the back 7 times. JACOB BLAKE DID NOTHING THAT WARRANTS GETTING SHOT SEVEN TIMES

Again I’m not saying Jacob Blake was completely innocent, I’m just saying that he didn’t deserve to get shot in the back.

Local media reporting that Jacob Blake was apparently trying to break up a fight between 2 women.
Police later shot him multiple times.
Neighbors told Kenosha News it happened in front of his kids. https://t.co/of78VouEva
