Jacob Blake Drops Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit Against Cop Who Shot Him

jacobblake

Jacob Blake has dropped his federal civil rights lawsuit against Kenosha Officer Rusten Sheskey, who shot him during a domestic disturbance call, resulting in Blake’s waist-down paralysis.

According to Fox 6 Milwaukee, attorneys for Blake or Sheskey have not explained why the lawsuit was dropped, nor have they pointed to the possibility of a settlement being reached. In addition, someone who answered the phone at the office of Blake’s attorney hung up when called to be inquired about the matter.

Sheskey shot Blake after resisting arrest. Sheskey believed that Blake was turning toward him with a knife. Sheskey was cleared of criminal wrongdoing, and the felony sexual assault charges placed on Blake were dropped in the plea deal.

The lawsuit was filed in March 2021, stating excessive force was used on him. The suit was waived with prejudice, meaning it cannot be reopened.

The protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake sparked protests across the city. During those protests was the shooting of three protestors by Kyle Rittenhouse.

Kyle Rittenhouse Plans to Sue Whoopi Goldberg and Other Media Figures and Platforms Over “Lies”

Kyle Rittenhouse verdict

Kyle Rittenhouse, the 19-year-old who killed two people and injured one at a Black Lives Matter rally in 2020, recently announced that he plans to sue multiple “politicians, celebrities, [and] athletes” over calling him a “murderer.”

According to The Guardian, Rittenhouse told Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson that he is planning on launching the “Media Accountability Project,” an initiative to hold members of the press accountable for the “lies” he claims they spread about him.

“Me and my team have decided to launch the Media Accountability Project,” Rittenhouse said on the show, “as a tool to help fundraise and hold the media accountable for the lies they say and deal with them in court.”

When asked who he would be coming after, Rittenhouse said that he and his team would be taking legal action against  “a few politicians, celebrities, athletes,” and named Whoopi Goldberg specifically. “Right now, we’re looking at quite a few politicians, celebrities, athletes. Whoopi Goldberg is on the list,” he said. “She called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers.”

After Rittenhouse was acquitted on his murder charges in November of last year, Goldberg maintained her stance on The View. “Even all the excuses in the world does not change the fact that three people got shot,” Goldberg said. “Two people were murdered. To me, it’s murder. I’m sorry.”

Not only does Rittenhouse want to go after those who called him a “murderer,” but he wants to go after people that have called him a white supremacist as well. “We are going to hold everybody who’s lied about me accountable, such as everybody who’s lied, called me a white supremacist,” he said. “They’re all going to be held accountable, and we’re going to handle them in a courtroom.”

ICYMI: Kyle Rittenhouse Meets with Trump at Mar-a-Lago Estate

Kyle Rittenhouse verdict

Following the acquittal of all charges in the incidents in Kenosha, Kyle Rittenhouse made a visit to former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Trump would detail the visit to Sean Hannity.

“Really a nice young man. What he went through — he should’ve, that was prosecutorial misconduct. He should not have had to suffer through a trial for that. He was going to be dead,” Trump said. “If he didn’t pull that trigger, that guy that put the gun to his head, in one-quarter of a second, he was going to pull the trigger — Kyle would’ve been dead.”

He added, “Just left Mar-a-Lago a little while ago and he should never have been put through that. That was prosecutorial misconduct, and it’s happening all over the United States right now with the Democrats.”

Rittenhouse is currently trending on Twitter as a video has gone viral with him claiming support for Black Lives Matter.

While he was president in 2020, Trump was asked about the murders committed by AR-15 slinging, Trump-supporting, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse was a member of a Right-leaning militia group that clashed with protestors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the shooting of Jacob Blake. The group claimed to have traveled to the town to defend businesses during the protests, however, Rittenhouse would kill two and injure another before going on the run.

In the aftermath, Trump was spotted to have “liked” a tweet supporting Rittenhouse and in the press conference he did not condemn the actions, instead, inferred that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense.

When specifically asked about Rittenhouse’s actions, Trump danced around the answer, instead, dropping off a quote that will rub many the wrong way.

“We’re looking at all—that was an interesting situation,” President Trump said. “You saw the same tape as I saw and he was trying to get away from them, I guess. It looks like. Then he fell and they very violently attacked him and it was something that we’re looking at right now, it’s under investigation, but I guess he was in very big trouble. He probably would have been killed. It’s under investigation.”

Christian Group Raises Over $500K For Kenosha Assault Rifle Shooter Kyle Rittenhouse

Screen Shot 2020 09 29 at 2.25.13 PM

17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was hit with a slew of charges, with multiple felonies after opening fire on a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25th following the police shooting of Jacob Blake on August 23rd. Now, it has been reported that a Christian group has raised over a half-million dollars in Rittenhouse’s name since he has been charged.

The 17-year-old who drove almost three hours to bring violence to an otherwise peaceful protest was charged with one count each of first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide as well as two counts of reckless endangerment and possessing a dangerous weapon as a minor.

The money was raised via a GoFundMe page, which was created on the day he was arrested. The page description reads, “Now, Kyle is being unfairly charged with murder 1, by a DA who seems determined to capitalize on the political angle of the situation. The situation was clearly self-defense, and Kyle and his family will undoubtedly need money to pay for the legal fees. Let’s give back to someone who bravely tried to defend his community.” 

Rittenhouse’s lawyer is currently fighting extradition from Illinois to Wisconsin, which was where the minor resides and traveled from to kill Joseph Rosenbaum, 36 and Anthony Huber, 26 during the Kenosha riots.
