The police involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake that sparked the recent wave of anti-police sentiment across the nation, were actually trying to arrest him for violating a restraining order stemming from an alleged sexual assault.
Blake, 29, was forbidden from going to the Kenosha house of his alleged victim from a May 3 incident, and police had been dispatched Sunday following a 911 call saying he was there. The officers had been aware he had an open warrant, according to dispatch records, though it’s not clear if they knew the specific allegations of violence.
Blake, was paralyzed from the shooting and was handcuffed to his hospital bed because of a warrant for his arrest, That warrant was vacated on Friday, according to a statement released by his lawyer, Benjamin Crump. His restraints were removed, but he’s nonetheless facing the criminal charges, Crump said.
Blake is accused in the criminal complaint, of breaking into the home of a woman he knew and sexually assaulting her.
The victim, who is only identified by her initials in the paperwork, informed police she was asleep in bed with one of her kids when Blake came into the room around 6 a.m. and allegedly said “I want my sh-t,” the record states.
She told police that Blake then used his finger to sexually assault her, sniffed it and said, “Smells like you’ve been with other men,” the criminal complaint alleges.
The officer who took her statement said she “had a very difficult time telling him this and cried as she told how the defendant assaulted her.”
The alleged victim said Blake “penetrating her digitally caused her pain and humiliation and was done without her consent” and she was “very humiliated and upset by the sexual assault,” the report says.
She told police she “was upset but collected herself” after which she allegedly ran out the front door after Blake, the complaint says. She then realized her automobile was missing, checked her purse and saw the keys were missing and then “immediately called 911,” the complaint alleges.
Blake’s alleged victim told police she has known him for about eight years and she admitted that he physically assaults her “around twice a year when he drinks heavily.” Anyone who beats on a woman is a scumbag in my view.
Police filed charges on Blake for felony sexual assault, trespassing, and domestic abuse back in July when a warrant was issued for his arrest.
On Sunday, in only three minutes after responding to the 911 call, Blake was shot 7 times in the back while he tried to get into his SUV. He defied lawful order from police to stop as he was marching around the other side of his vehicle.
Blake Resisted Arrest
On Tuesday, we reported that as new video revealed Blake resisting arrest before he broke free from police in a scuffle and walked around the SUV to get inside, and on Thursday, we reported that Blake admitted to officials that he had a knife on the floorboard of the driver’s side of his vehicle.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul declined to elaborate on preliminary particulars or on when the knife was recovered.
In the press release issued by the Wisconsin DOJ, they are saying Blake’s knife admission was made “during the investigation following the initial incident.”
“As the release stated, he acknowledged he had a knife in his possession at some point,” Kaul said.
In the beginning of this incident it was believed that cops shot Blake for no reason at all. More and more it’s becoming clearer that the officers on the scene followed protocol and tried to subdue the angry young man who didn’t want to be arrested. Apparently, they thought he was going for a weapon when he defied their orders to stop, and continued to walk around his vehicle, then opened the door reaching for something. In that moment, anyone can speculate that the cops thought he was reaching for a weapon. He had just resisted arrest, walked away from police, went into his car and began looking around for something. The cops were there to respond to a call for a domestic dispute, and they knew at the time that he had warrants.
Sounds like a pretty clear case, but we’ll have to wait and see how the investigation turns out.

Someone said his kids were in the car. Young kids. Is this true
So what, he was a criminal
He was a criminal who raped a female the kid is a bag of shit!
They’re covering their asses. Even if he was a criminal shouldnt the taser had been used first. What gave them the ok to use that force?
It was. Sit your ass down.
yeah…a taser worked REALLY well in 2018 when a pos was tased, overcame it–broke free–got the gun out of his car–and shot three cops–two of which died. He drove off. They caught the POS and he’s awaiting sentencing. So–YEAH, they had every right to shoot the piece of garbage.
They used the taser. Read the story. The taser was not effective.
No. If he raped her, he deserved one between the eyes. Don’t matter what color
It’s only obvious, he knew those kids were in the van but did he care,,,,,,
He did have kids in the car. He should have cooperated as ANY person does when they are around kids when dealing with authorities. This is why the youth today have no respect because no one teaches them by example.
Yes
Worthless negro.
No. Inappropriate. A comment like that that makes you worthless. He is a piece of crap, but it has nothing to do with his race.
True that
you HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUST HIM BY HIS RACE… JUST HIS DEED. AND NO ONE DESERVES TO BE SHOT IN THE BACK
hould they have asked him to turn around first?
Who are you are a worthless piece of crap and your mother doesn’t want you scumbag piece of sh*t I don’t care yes he did rape her and that was wrong his ass needs at least fifty years, but I bet you aren’t the perfect person either and if you’re a white son of a butch saying this go to hell you racist old honk I swear people are always saying us black people are so ghetto and crazy and ratchet but y’all are the ones stealing our culture and brainwashing us, the only reason you don’t like us is cause we act just like you guys. Chill the fudge out and take breath mint, and he got shot seven times with his kids in the car I bet you have never been shot seven times and then been paralyzed then no one would need to listen to all the crap that’s spilling out of your keyboard from your finger cause you can’t type
What is wrong with you, he may be a black and he I feel your anger, and he needs to get more than 8 years, but he needs like fifty-two, but his race has nothing to do with this, and I’m black and this is not only directed to him. I feel offended, I feel like you’re directing your anger at all black people, so your comment is not even necessary his race, his color, his completion has nothing to do with this If I found a white person that did this how would you feel if I said “worthless white trash” all that wouldn’t be necessary and that’s what I don’t understand this and why you feel like you need to say that, and he’s not worthless he may be a terrible person for what he did to her, and he needs to pay with everything he’s got but that doesn’t warrant you the right to call him worthless or a negro.
yes young kids in the car who will now need therapy for life
and NO he was not “looking around” for something in his car … watch the vid. They shoot in seconds … there is no “looking around” in his car. That’s just the BS cops use when they kill. Many examples of it… because they often understand they are being filmed..
Why didn’t he comply? Was he on drugs. So stoopit.
Their father was a sexual and physical abuser of females. Those innocent children have more than that incident to overcome.
So did he put the kids into the van when he had stolen the keys? When where the children put into the van an who put them there?
They were on different days. I believe the stolen van incident was back in July. He had his own vehicle this time (SUV) with the kids sitting inside. I was confused at first also, but I think the people who write these stories are in such a hurry to get them out, that they don’t bother proofreading, or even thinking much before typing.
I see betty is one of the multitude of idiotic asshats who spew idiocy and, more than likely, is the type of person involved in the ‘peaceful protests’ that are destroying cities across the nation. This is the perfect example of people speaking out on things they have no real idea about. Newsflash betty, unless you have something truthful or constructive to say, keep your piehole closed and shut the hell up. Its morons like you that perpetuate this madness by spewing your lies and idiocy.
And you’re spewing your hate and closed-mindedness‼️I hope you don’t have any kids for whom you would be a terrible role model‼️‼️‼️
Yes!
Yes, says the one called “Big E” lol
Well said.
Be for real if he said he had a knife, he opens the door against police demands, leans over, now you tell me? Would you give him a chance to get the knife and start wailing it at you? He’ll no. They carry a gun for a reason. Jacob Blake tested that reason and yes if it take 7 shots then 7 shots it is. Look dude I’ve been slammed to the ground and treated unfairly by cops BUT when I saw guns drawn and lasers pointed at me, the last thing I wanted was to even accidentally get shot. I did my fighting at the jail and was released and apologized to. And at This time I’m walking and typing at the same time because I know that when bullets enter my body bad thing can happen. Use your head and don’t be a statistic.
Good for you. I hope your life is better today.
That’s the truth mate
D Ash, you have common sense. In all of the cases charging brutality it seems compliance is the issue. Maybe too drunk or too drugged up (which is another issue police have to deal with) to understand, but you still need to comply.
he most definately was going through his car….what videa di YOU wath…wasn’t the right one obviously
I also seen the video, he was clearly bent over the driver’s seat and appeared to be looking or reaching for something in the floorboard
Shut up stupid. He admitted he had a knife. The cops werent there to kill the idiot, he had a warrant, a serious warrant. I guess your okay with him raping a 15 year old. And now the agitators are in the streets demanding justice for scum.
Are you really that stupid? Why is it that so blacks think they can resist arrest and break the law and then:
Cry “Police Brutality” poor me? I understand that you think it is OK for Jacob Blake to digitally penetrate
a woman’s body against her will, since JOE BIDEN did it to Tara Reade his intern. But it really is RAPE and it is NOT OK…#METOO movement
So then Betty, you’re pro-sexual predator, pro-child-abuser? Got it.
Once you open the car and reach in that’s it. The police are not supposed to wait for him to start looking around. Just watched a video where the stupid officers did not fire and the man grabbed a gun, shot at the police almost killing them and then drove away free to assault and possibly kill others.
Obviously he was not worried about the kids in the car. No excuses for his actions which were already law breakers. Put the blame where it belongs, then let the courts determine the rest. MOB VIOLENCE ONLY LEADS TO MORE VIOLENCE.
You have lost your minds, all of you, keep resisting arrest and the bodies will keep piling up. We live in a peaceful society because we have laws. Now since a segment of the population is being encouraged to disregard those laws you see dead people. Can you be so blind to how easily you are being manipulated for a political cause. No one in our society should feel anything but disgust at this man, he sexually assaulted a woman he knew, stole her car and then refused to cooperate in his arrest. Now he is dead. Do you think the politicians driving the narrative and asking more of you to fight the police care if you end up dead?? No they don’t. Go back and read what Malcolm X warned the black community of decades ago. He was so right on target, they killed him for it. He said white liberals were the biggest enemy the black community would ever face. Look how TRUE his words were than and still are today.
I saw the video..he was reaching in the car for something. And it’s HIS fault that those poor babies witnessed that. HE put them in that situation
Your right, also when did it become protical to shoot a d paralyze a man from the waist down. What happened to tasers. It’s not that he shouldn’t have consequenses for his a tions, but I mean come on. Will they pay his medical bills for life now?
They did tase him. Maybe you should do some research before commenting.
Kate, Kate, Kate….They didn’t “shoot a paralyzed man” Are you that ignorant or have you not watched the videos, or read ANY article on this? The guy was a violent felon with a warrant for a violent crime. He was tased after he fought with the cops and was reaching for who knows what. Do police officers not have a right to defend themselves? Do you not realize they have experience dealing with REAL criminals on a daily basis? You need to get out of your pretend, protected world and wake the hell up. This guy was a hardened criminal and got what he deserved. Period.
The law should have worked faster on the sexual assault charges and he wouldn’t have been allowed to be around kids. Be needs to be charged for child endangered also. Sorry shot but you should have just followed the law. You cant keep making excuses for criminals. Go back to an eye for an eye. Now they need to many him down and let the women come stick something up his A$$ and say smells like you’re —-now!
He admitted he was going for a knife,or did you miss that bit
Watch the tape. He yanked that door open, and leaned down for ??? Gun, knife, what? They can’t wait to get their face shot off before they defend themself!! Lesson here: listen to the police, and do what they say, what ever your color, age, sex!
Sweet. Traits of a true gentleman.
Thank you David for this valued informative update.
The Burn Loot Murder movement is teaching blacks to break any law they want because, and as we see, they get away with it. This truth is bringing out the worst of the worst.
I guess they wont post my comment here. Anyway, the protesters should not be demanding justice for a rapist
I do not understand a policeman firing 7 times.
I think some police need training.
Following him pointing a pistol at him seems some what bizarre.
I suppose the policeman did not want to fire until he had to. I understand that sort of hesitance.
In the army on active duty we had to shout “stop!”, in 3 languages.
One shot ought to have been enough. I suppose it was an automatic & the policeman was nervous.
What choice of languages did you have and if there was more than 3 options, how would you make the choice – in a hurry? Would that fall under the banner of “r*****t” or simple “profiling”
So you were on “active duty” under the Obama administrations stupidest rules of engagement ever dreamed up. I am not a police officer but if i choose to fire my weapon, I am going to continue to fire until I am sure there will be no return fire. This is not a video game boys and girls. This is real life. Wake the F-up
I believe it is society who needs to be trained to listen to what the police tell you to do and you will not get shot! What has happened to society that they think that they can run rampant and not obey laws???
Was the woman in the house he assaulted the mother of the children in the car. Did he take the children there with him or were they already at the house
He should have stopped and complied with the officers. This incident would not have had the same outcome! If the children were with the woman he assaulted, chances are they are handed off with someone else there unless this is the first time. But he had a warrant so he should not have kept walking when officers asked and shouted to stop! It’s not rocket science. Little kids know right from wrong so why do adults act like they can’t hear??!
in this case, there were children in the car you , you talk him down not shoot him seven times in front of the children three lives are now messed up because of this. You call for back -up , if he leaves you to follow the safety of the children are more important sorry. If he was white this would have happened but it didn’t he was black this is what all this is about. They went in with guns blazing.
Talk him down LOL -you obviously are a clown. This man is a violent predator who hours earlier raped a woman and stole her car. Who knows what happens to those kids if cops don’t arrive. The literal second he refuses to cooperate in his detainment is the second he forfeits his life. Sad but true. I have been the felon in 3 different felony stops (yes, I was a criminal, in my youth). Do you know why I am alive? Because ,as soon as I knew there was no escape, I surrendered. I obeyed orders, I gave up the location of my weapon. I am still alive and I have changed my life. Believe it or not, some of the same police now call me when they have an addict who is looking for help.
Him being black did not have anything to do with reaching for a weapon and getting shot. I guess it would have been less traumatic for the kids to see big daddy shoot or slice up three or four cops.
Three lives are messed up because their father does not know how to be a proper role model
Obviously he was not worried about the kids in the car. No excuses for his actions which were already law breakers. Put the blame where it belongs, then let the courts determine the rest. MOB VIOLENCE ONLY LEADS TO MORE VIOLENCE.

Where are the feminists? This man sexually assaulted a women and will now go scott free because he was shot.
Feminaziss are in the same nazi loser class as blm and antifa.
Please stop making theses criminals some kind of heros. The people protesting for this guy need to get the whole story before you go protest for someone who does not abide the law,follow police instructions and just resist arrest and continue to ignore the police orders and do as he well pleases. He resisted arrest and proceeds to go to the car where the children were . Telling them he had a knife and was reaching under the seat. He was ignoring their commands. Shame on him for putting the kids through that trauma. He is no hero he was a coward. He is paralyzefd now and im sure they are going to sue. He shouldnt get a dime he brought this upon himself and others involved. Look at what he did his victim. They were called because he was violating a protective order against him for sexual assault. Investigate for youself and see what he did his victim. Check his hustory police didnt make up all his past crimes. So the people protesting for him you really need to not jump to the conclusion that every black man shot is the police fault. This guys actions caused him to get shot. What are yall wanting justice for what? Go protest for all the innocent children killed over these useless protest.
Well, at least now it’s out that he did not rape a 14 year old. Now on to the fact that NO PERSON SHOULD BE SHOT IN THE BACK 7 TIMES. The police had more than ample opportunity to shoot him with bean bags (I read elsewhere that they tazed him and he didn’t go down) or to just plain tackle him if he was resisting arrest. Police tackle suspects all the time. He should not have been allowed to get to his car door at all. And, based on the tape I’ve seen, he was not an immediate threat to anyone from one side of the car to the other and the police had guns on him the entire time. The police are completely in the wrong on this one.
He had a warrant for sexual assault. Did they have bean bag weapons in their vehicles or the time to go get them? They didn’t tackle him because he told them he had a knife. Thus guns drawn, besides the fact he was resisting arrest and already had been tased and it didn’t stop him. 1 shot or 7 doesn’t matter once the decision to pull the trigger is made. You shoot till he goes down and stop being a threat. He sure as heck was a threat once he reached into the car.
My understanding is that this was not “His” car it was her car and she had called 911 because he was violating a restraining order and had taken her car keys. People this guy was caught in the act of breaking the law and continued breaking additional laws that escalated to his being shot by the police. Period. End of questions.
Waste of a human!!!
Get a fucking job stop protesting over bullshit if he had a job nothing would have happened, if he put his hands up nothing would have happened.
It doesn’t matter what race you are if you gonna be stupid it makes officer’s nervous.
I’ve been pulled over about 30 times atleast and never had a gun pointed at me or got a beat down.
Stupidity will not be tolerated!!!!!
The only way the black community is going to attain that feeling of equality is when they stop crying racism and start holding black thugs accountable for their crimes and stop blaming white people for the black community’s failings.
