Dear Syag,
All the reports do not give much info on the why of the matter. For example: Officers arrived at the scene and attempted to arrest 29-year-old Blake, at one point using a Taser in an attempt to stop him, but that attempt was unsuccessful. Mr. Blake walked around his vehicle, opened the driver’s side door, and leaned forward. While holding onto Mr. Blake’s shirt, Officer Rusten Sheskey fired his service weapon 7 times. Officer Sheskey fired the weapon into Mr. Blake’s back. No other officer fired their weapon.
It does not say why they decided to arrest him. Trespassing? Failure to obey? Public disturbance? Open warrant? Domestic abuse? Three minutes is very quick to arrive at the scene and attempt an arrest. Could be the three minutes is not true. The story is very much unknown.
I do not think the unrest in Kenosha is due to this one incident. It seems like the community does not trust the police.
