Jacob Blake Shooting: Onlookers Demand Justice After Wisconsin Police Fire on Black Man Entering His SUV

Jacob Blake should not be fighting for his life right now. His children should not be traumatized from watching their father being shot repeatedly in the back by police. His family deserves justice. How many names of Black Americans must we say until this stops? https://t.co/7ATN2iDMHX

Arrest and convict the cops who shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back.

Raise your hand if you agree the cop who shot Jacob Blake 7 times in the back should be arrested immediately ✋!

JACOB BLAKE
SAY HIS NAME.

No justice No Peace✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

We cannot ignore the fact that our kids are watching, whether it's Jacob Blake's children, Gianna Floyd, or countless boys and girls around the country simply watching the news. We have to ask ourselves how this trauma is impacting the next generation—and how we combat it.

Say what you want about “good cops,” but you don’t shoot a man in his back 7 times unless you are trying to kill him - and any system that allows this to happen on a regular basis isn’t worth shit and needs to be replaced. #defundthepolice #JacobBlake

What took place last night in Kenosha, Wisconsin is absolutely horrifying.

I am praying for Jacob Blake’s survival and for the well-being of his three children.

The officers involved must be held accountable. A full and impartial investigation is needed IMMEDIATELY.

Kenosha officers did NOT serve and protect Jacob Blake. They shot him MULTIPLE times in the back while his sons watched. DEMAND action & change against police brutality & excessive use of force in WI and nationwide! Sign the #JusticeForJacobBlake petition: https://t.co/fIN8D6zhDa

There is not a training that will convince people to value Black lives like Jacob Blake's.

Redefine public safety as guaranteeing the health, education, and prosperity of the people.

What we have now cannot be reformed. #BlackLivesMatter

As Jacob Blake fights for his life today the Killers of Elijah McClain (who was killed a year ago today ) and Breonna Taylor have still not been arrested. these are murderers in uniform of innocent people ,arrest them

Yesterday, Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by police. His kids watched from the car. Today, we woke to grieve yet again.

We need a full and transparent investigation. https://t.co/9X7l25nq8d

Jacob Blake was shot in front of his 3 children. Thankfully he is still alive and in stable condition. These officers must be charged immediately.

"We need to have change, we need to be better."

I'm praying for Jacob Blake today.

I'm standing with everyone who believes justice must be served in this horrific case and too many others like it.

Black lives matter.

Black lives matter.

Black lives matter.

#JacobBlake was shot seven times in the back, in front of his children, by the Kenosha police — a heinous act of violence against Black lives.

We must investigate and end systemic injustice in policing.

My prayers go out to Mr. Blake and his family as he fights for his life. pic.twitter.com/BB0UVmdyA5

If @KenoshaPolice truly want justice for #JacobBlake they’ll find a way to get it. If not, they’ll find an excuse.

We’re watching and demanding that your department do the right thing.

Fire. Arrest. Prosecute.#BlackLivesMatter

Jacob Blake was shot multiple times by police.
In the back.
In front of his children.

Black Americans continue to experience disproportionate violence at the hands of police. Until we address it and stop it, our country will never know true equality.

And y’all wonder why we say what we say about the Police!! Someone please tell me WTF is this???!!! Exactly another black man being targeted. This shit is so wrong and so sad!! Feel so sorry for him, his family and OUR PEOPLE!! We want JUSTICE https://t.co/cJxOj1EZ3H

The police who shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times must be fired, arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Congress cannot wait any longer to act forcefully to end the horrific violence against Black Americans at the hands of police.

Jacob Blake is in the ICU fighting for his life. He should be home with his babies. Police shot him in the back 7 times in front of his children.

Mark my words we’re going to fight for accountability just as hard as you’re fighting to survive & make it home to your family Jacob. pic.twitter.com/8dcooPWSJn
