JUST IN: Jacob Blake, the Black man who was shot multiple times by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is no longer in police custody or shackled to his hospital bed, his lawyer says.

identified the other two officers involved in the confrontation as Vincent Arenas and Brittany MeronekOfficers were called to a home Sunday in Kenosha, about 40 miles southeast of Milwaukee, after a woman reported that her boyfriend was at the home when he wasn't supposed to be there. Police have not responded to multiple inquiries on whether Blake was the subject of the woman’s complaint.

The state DOJ said in its press release that Blake"admitted that he had a knife in his possession" and that investigators recovered a knife from the driver's side floorboard of his car. On Thursday, Salvi visited Blake twice. He said he does not know when police would have had an opportunity to speak with Blake since the shooting.

Now the criminal is shackled to a wheelchair.

Agenda

Shouldn't been shackled in the first place.

Happy to see 2 women of color as the journalists; hopefully they are just 2 of many BIPOC that should be reflected in both your writers AND leadership.

He’s still had charges

Wait he was shackled in the hospital ?

He should be in jail preditor

Looking at what the police have already done him, 7 shots tin the back, police custody is by far the most life threatening place he could be. I hope they've got him at a safe location

I hope he gets a damn good lawyer.

No, because he should be behind bars. Like any other violent rapist.

Charges must have been dropped. JB is gonna have one expensive medical bill since no longer in custody. I’m sure the state does not want to pay that bill.

This clown gets attention but the child shot in the head gets none

So now he is a hero ?

The rapist ? with all the warrants ? That Jacob Blake ?

He should be to protect all medical staff.

So he got away with being a skum back.

A black man who had warrants, raped a 14 year old girl, was trespassing, and resisted arrest was shot by a white police officer not knowing when the black man refused to obey and turned his back and reached inside a car, if the black man was reaching for a gun.

He raped someone... she called the police on him. He resisted. Had a knife. Probably went for a gun as well. The man should be imprisoned for life.

Jacob Blake,who RAPED A 15 year old. NEW CAPTION.

He's not going to run anywhere.

He wasn’t a hero , he was criminal! Stop this BS ! This is Dems movement to make this country devided.

At last!

You misspelled rapist

He has a criminal warrant

When will NBC and other MSM report that Blake is a serious criminal with warrants out for him? He was reaching for his knife when he was shot. When do citizens have a right to facts and real journalism? Or is it too late?

, why is EVERYTHING about race when a white person does something to a black person BUT when roles are reversed, u do NOT report it & u NEVER state race. If a muslim does a crime, you NEVER say muslim, it is ALWAYS a 'person.' Why are you trying to incite race violence?

If you lead a lifestyle like Jacob Blake, regardless of the color of your skin, you should expect one day to get shot. He’s a thug. Thugs are all colors. Police treat thugs all the same.

The pedophile?

Because the felon is out on bail awaiting a court date.

The shackling seems a bit ridiculous since he is paralyzed.... but didn’t he pull a knife on a police officer and resist arrest. Are we now saying depending on your race you can do what you like to police officer?

.... the black man whos (reject stop and put his hands up then) was shot multiple times.... I don’t write English well but think its more real

JacobBlake got himself shot. Resisting Ignoring Not being compliant and Fighting with Police reaching for knife Justice Fool

What an amazing shit-show this is. None of this would have happened if he had cooperated with the police... none of it. He could have prevented all this trouble himself, but instead chose to be a victim of the police. Now he will pay a heavy price forever.

NBC promotes this guy as an angel. He broke into a woman's home, sexually assaulted her, fought with police who were called to stop him, and disobeyed the orders of police who had guns drawn on him ending with his armed, DUMBASS self getting shot. LIARS

Black Rapist, Jacob Blake who resisted arrested multiple times and has a rap sheet went for a weapon and was shot by tax payer protecting civil servants.

But he’s still a gross pig who assaults woman!

anything on the woman he raped? is metoo on hiatus?

Blake broke into a woman’s house, sexually assaulted her, resisted arrest, fought police, had a knife, resisted being tasered twice, ran to his car to get a weapon, and now he is no longer in police custody. 🤔

another good upstanding citizen...

So many ignorant racists. TrumpVirus

He’s a criminal!

He shouldn't be I don't care maybe it was extreme how many shots fired that Officer was acting in self defense for him and his co workers he had a nife he ran from there derrectives and was reaching for something sorry but I would of done the same

And how are his victims?

He posted bail.

If his dad didn’t say anything to the media he still wud be ...folks just keep poking the bear 🐻 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

The cuffs were a bit much.

Rittenhouse didn’t even bother to show up for his arraignment... and was granted a MONTH reprieve to find legal cousel- TWOJUSTICESYSTEMS TrumpsAmerica ThisIsAmerica

What a hero! He should R̶u̶n̶ wheel for congress.

But he is still a rapist

He should be.

A first step. The guy is a multi-millionaire. Give him some respect

I hope the police union has a lot of money in the bank..

A RAPIST!

Funny how you mention the race of these men but when it was a 5 yr old boy killed by a 25 yr old you didn’t mention there race and he was handcuffed not “shackled” idiots

SO WHY DIDN'T HE OBEY THE COPS? AREN'T WE TAUGHT THAT?

Fake news

Jacob should have never been shackled in the first place, outrageous!! Now go handcuff & shackle the police officer who shot him in the back 7 times!🤨

Ummm.. he’s a criminal

Stop catering to these god damn criminals. He is a criminal. He is NOT an upstanding citizen like everyone wants to make him out to be. He was a dumb ass and resisted arrest and got shot. FUCKING COMPLY WITH OFFICERS, ITS THAT SIMPLE.

This is a moral issue, you have an entire portion of society being brainwashed that authority is a form of oppression and criminal activity is justified as a rebellion. This can't be fixed until the moral compass in this part of society shifts and that starts at home!

Is Jacob Blake the same black man and sex offender that had to be tased without effect resisted the police and reached inside his car for something ignoring commands from the police officers, is this the same Jacob Blake?

JOE BIDEN----TAKE YOUR KNEE OFF OF AMERICAS NECK---AMERICA MUST BE FREE

Political move vacating his warrants its temporary molesting a minor doesnt go away.

JUST IN: Police make stuff up. They literally make stuff up to cover their asses. There is a reason police reports are hearsay and generally inadmissible in court.

Sadly he is still paralyzed and fighting for his life

Mr. Blake lived, and has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make an impact. Prayers for him and his family.

BanAllProtests

EsmeLuluBean Jacob, we pray for your swift recovery.

He was what now?

He was a rapist with a warrant out for his arrest!

Still a criminal who threatened cops.

chbrkr Those days that he was shackled will cost that city’s taxpayers an additional 1 MILLION DOLLARS PER DAY, on top of the tens of millions he & his children (loss of parental services) will receive in their lawsuit.

The fact that he was shackled to his bed while being paralyzed from the waist down due to police shooting tells you all you need to know about the priorities of law enforcement when it comes to black men.

Somebody fingured him after he fingured.

Why was he even shackled... dude is paralyzed from the waist down.... smh

That really makes a lot of sense to shackle a person to a hospital bed, who is paralyzed from the waist down, just another slap in the face after being shot in the back 7 times!

Jacob Blake a child rapist a criminal a spineless thug

Thank god !!!!

'must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.' - Martin Luther King

So he only been shot 7 times by police for no reason, it's OK I guess it's not that bad 🤦‍♂️

Do you remember the 5 year old executed by a black man simply because the child was white? You also forgot to mention that Mr Blake was a rapist and was under investigation for other crimes?

They should have shackled him straight to his prison bed, my heart goes out to his victim,she must be more terrified than when he was beating her knowing he is now a very rich man.

Good❗️

I believe is a lot of good cops but they're bad one too just like when y'all call us thugs and shit y'all got some white thugs too I believe the number one thug y'all got is 45 lmao

Well and from bed to jail because the police was looking for him. This black dude is one bad MOFO!!

No longer in shackles but paralyzed 4 life n his kids traumatized 4 life.

Why not? I thought that was procedure for all Criminals

About time!

Peanutsmom03 It’s about time.

About time.

Yeah‼️Thank you to the lawyers.

Arrest the cop for attempted murder. BlackLivesMatter

Watch this what happened in Nepal

He is still charged with sexual assault of a minor....nobody mentioned that

That’s too bad.

You mean: The CRIMINAL that was shot by the police?

He should have NEVER been.

Did he get his knife too?
