Cop Shot Jacob Blake After Hearing ‘Mother’s Desperate Plea’ That Blake Had Her ‘Kid,’ Report Says

The police officer who allegedly shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last month reportedly did so after hearing a woman say about Blake, “He’s got my kid. He’s got my keys.”

Police Officer Rusten Sheskey said he shot Blake “because he was afraid Blake, while attempting to flee the scene, was trying to kidnap a child in the backseat of the vehicle,” CNN reported in an article titled, “Lawyer says cop shot Jacob Blake after hearing a mother’s desperate plea: ‘He’s got my kid. He’s got my keys.’”
