![New Video Shows Jacob Blake ‘Resisting’ Wisconsin Cops Before Reaching Into His Vehicle and Getting Shot [VIDEO]](https://e6q8f5d4.ssl.hwcdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/resisting3.jpg)
Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old black man who was shot seven times by a Wisconsin police officer on Sunday was involved in a brawl with several Kenosha cops just minutes before the shooting.
Never before seen video taken during the incident reveals the events that lead up to the shooting, although the footage is taken from the opposite angle of the initial viral cell phone clip where Blake is seen walking toward his SUV before he’s shot.
In this latest video, Blake is seen fighting with at least two Kenosha police officers.
Blake then manages to break free from the scuffle and starts walking from the passenger’s side of his vehicle to the driver’s side.
After he opens his driver’s side door, gunshots ring out. The video ends there.
WATCH:
Ask yourself this. If you were one of those police officers, in today’s environment, and you were on a domestic violence call, which usually means the person you were called about is angry and sometimes out of control with emotions by the time you arrive on the scene, and the suspect just fought his way out of your custody and went around the other side of the car, and reached in for something, would you wait for him to turn around and shoot you? Did he have a weapon when he turned around? Was Blake known to carry a weapon in his SUV? These are the questions that need to be answered before people go around setting buildings on fire.
The officers involved in the shooting were put on administrative leave and it’s being reported that they cooperating with investigators, according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ).
The state’s DOJ started an investigation into the shooting immediately.
Blake, who’s listed in serious condition at a Milwaukee hospital, was shot in the back seven times in front of his three children after police were called to his home to reports of a domestic dispute on Sunday.
Video of the shooting of Blake rapidly went viral, and the mobs began setting cars on fire, smashing windows and fighting with officers dressed in riot gear throughout the city and all through Sunday night into the wee early hours of Monday morning. They also set a furniture store on fire, and a building that houses the Wisconsin Department of Corrections.
On Monday, the police union released a statement criticizing Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, who instantly condemned the “excessive force” used by the cops.
president of the Kenosha Professional Police Association, Pete Deates said in a statement, “Anytime deadly force is used, our hearts go out to those affected by it.”
“We assure you an independent investigation is being conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation.
“Until that investigation is completed, we ask that you withhold prejudgment about the incident and please the let process take place.
“Governor Evers’ statement on the incident was wholly irresponsible and not reflective of the hardworking members of the law enforcement community, not to mention the citizens of the City of Kenosha.
“As always, the video currently circulating does not capture all the intricacies of a highly dynamic incident. We ask that you withhold from passing judgement until all the facts are known and released.
“We, along with the citizens of the great City of Kenosha, ask for peace and to let the process play out fairly and impartially.”

Nothing justifies a man getting shot in the back 7 times, in front of children. The police were wrong.
No, getting shot in the back 7 times is not excepted but, y don’t any black men when asked to freeze or don’t move u do u don’t comply or listen if he listens or complies he’s alive and u can’t dispute that.
Nothing justifies a man resisting arrest and then reaching into his car. Every one of those police officers wants to go home to their family.
White men get to resist arrest & live…
Point Blank Period
Is that why more white men are killed by the police each year
The shooting was justified. This Blake moron is the one who chose to bring his children into the situation. But let’s play your game anyway. If man is standing over a person about to plunge an axe into their head, is a cop standing behind him justified in shooting to prevent a murder from happening?
Yes, there is justification. When the criminal suspect is wielding a knife and says he is going to his car for a gun. When he has a history of violent behavior and a rap sheet as long as your arm.
NO children should have been on that street on in that car. He owns it. And he is damn lucky he is not dead. If it had been me, it would be pushing up daisies. The Police were totally right, and the shooting was justified!
except when he posses a direct threat of life and limb to the officers….
Not wrong in any way !!!
Were you there? Can you swear the thug wasn’t reaching for a firearm?
If not, piss off.
A career criminal with multiple priors fighting with cops then resisting arrest. Trying to get away from police and going directly into his car to grab something. It doesn’t matter what color his skin is, this could have been a white, yellow, purple guy but then it wouldn’t have even made the news. Fully Justified shooting, once again in a Democratic city…
Actually, reaching into your car for a weapon DOES justify getting shot 7 times in the back. Which, by the way, proves tbat he was not just getting into his car to drive away; if he had been, he would have been shot on the left side. You try getting into your car to drive, and keep your back toward the door. You can’t. But reach into your car for a weapon between the seats or in the glove compartment and see which way your back is facing.
Actually resisting arrest, failing to comply, and reaching into your vehicle justifies getting shot seven times. You don’t know much.
When a criminal escapes police custody heads for their car and tells the police he is going to grab a gun and shot them, he then reaches into the car they have the right to shot him and the have the right to shot him till he is dead, which he is lucky he is not.
NOTHING …..and if they let him get his GUN and shoot them ..that would of been OK …….he got what he was asking for…HE WAS THE ONE WHO COST HIM HIS LIFE.
Don’t be a criminal with a warrant, resist police and then go for a weapon while your children are in the car.
Guess what? Police want to go home to their families also.
Avoid being a criminal, Avoid police
Susan Taake – It is obvious YOU have never been in a situation with an angered domestically violent (multiple counts) police attacking (multiple counts) pedophile who has just said they were going to get a gun and shoot YOU! You are an undereducated, armchair judge/police officer. Put you in that situation and they would be sending you home to your grieving family in a body bag – and then THEY would want ‘justice’ for your dumb ass…
H
We’ll stated George ??
I think the cops should have just got back in the car and left the situation alone.Why answer the call and go if its a black man.When they seen it was a black man.Just turn around and leave.Let the couple or whoever was fighting duke it out.Now they are on leave and jobs threathened.
I agree, why risk your life when they do not even appreciate what you do.
they had to get him…he had a warrant for raping a 14yr old which means he is a danger to the public
Tanya Lawson they were attempting to arrest him on a warrant for rape, so are you trying to say that a rape victims assailant should be arrested because he is black?
Were you there? Can you swear the thug wasn’t reaching for a firearm?
If not, piss off.
I see a really big serious problem that is now showing up in the United States. People totally ignore law and order, they respect and do not listen to the police who are employed to carry out this task and many times with their lives at stake. EVERYONE must understand that if they are asked to stop, lie down or in any other way asked to do something the police ask for JUST DO IT! NO police shoot someone who does what they ask! I feel that it has unfortunately become the case that many want to act as matures, but what do they gain by risking being killed for such a meaningless thing as not obeying those who struggle every day to maintain law and order. the police are today fully aware that they can be expected to be severely punished if they shoot a citizen, black, white or yellow who LISTENS and does as they ask them to do. But they also know that it can be between coming home alive to their family or risking being shot by someone who totally ignores what they ask them to do. ALL politicians TV channels MUST go out with this information DO WHAT THE POLICE ASK YOU TO DO, you will be treated badly or offensively REPORT THE POLICE! And to all the demonstrators who run around and burn and destroy, keep in mind that this will NOT be a better country, it will only be a broken one.
Look at the keyboard warriors! You don’t like how something was done go join the force and let’s see how you do!
Maybe shooting him 7 times was much,but the cops were justified he resisted and is walking away like he can of course,not listening cause that’s the new thing so they can blame the cops when they get shot and either the person or family can sue the city and police department..He was reaching into his car the cops don’t know of he was getting a gun he was out of control he should’ve listened and he could’ve prevented this shit from happening..Sorry I dont feel sorry for him iam sad for his kids imagine the environment they have been in innocent children in anything violent is extremely sad he should’ve thought about his kids since he gave two shits about himself…I’m for the cops on this one and get this the idiots rioting and destroying their own city when they don’t even have all the facts what bafunery..
Some of the people on here say some the stupidest things. What about the African Americans who obey the law and still get killed. Texas, the guy watching football in his own home result killed by a cop. Breanna Taylor cops kicked in the wrong door guy protecting his family thinking a break in cops shoots Breanna Taylor 8 times. There’s too many to name. My point is this some idiot said cops just want to go home to their families. Like we as Blacks don’t want to, Our lives as African Americans are put on the line everyday like these racist cops. So unless you’re African American you don’t have the slightest clue. One last thing A WHITE TEENAGER went into a church and shot 9 BLACK PEOPLE the cops and arrested and took by McDonald’s to get him something to eat because he said he was hungry, but another black man is shot 8 times for resisting.
Speaking of saying some of the stupidest comments. You take the cake!!
Ok just tell me what would you do if this same situation played out in your front yard? No police involved. Just you and this man and this situation. He’s got a knife and tells you he’s going for a gun….what are you going to do….
Stop killing black folks!!!!!
You have no idea what he was going to do, it’s a domestic dispute call, he may have been going for the knife to kill his kids in the car, just to hurt his wife. It wouldn’t be the first time that has happened. You can’t let a guy who just fought the police grab a gun and get into a car with kids. What do you do as the cop?
these officers acted in self defense, when you act stupid you get a reality check.
Then the city and cops get sued if the person gets killed. So no matter what the cop does they are wrong
Anyone feel sorry for the child that lay next to the woman in the midst of her being sexually assaulted?
