 I'm sad to say that I'm not surprised by this, but I'm not surprised by this. We learned that there will be no charges against the police officer that shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times. We saw the video and we'll go over it again. I don't know how any reasonable human being can watch that video and not deduce that this was an attempted murder. The officer was very clearly trying to kill Jacob Blake, but yet no charges. So for more on this, we go to CBS News where Aaron Donahue reports no charges will be filed against the white police officer who shot a black man in the back over the summer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The district attorney announced Tuesday Kenosha police officer Rustin Chesky had been responding to a domestic dispute on August 23rd when he fired seven times at Jacob Blake as Blake was trying to get inside an SUV. Blake's three young children were in the back seat. Investigators have said they found a knife inside the vehicle, but his family has denied that he was armed. Blake was left paralyzed after the shooting, which was captured on disturbing video that drew national outrage and several nights of unrest in Kenosha. Ben Crump, Patrick A. Salvi II, and B. Ivery Lamar, lawyers for Blake's family said in a statement, they are immensely disappointed in district attorney Michael Gravely's decision, quote, we feel this decision failed not only Jacob and his family, but the community that protected and demanded justice. The statement said, yeah, I think that's the understatement of the century. This failed the community. It failed every single black and brown person in America who fears for their lives whenever they interact with police officers. I mean, this is just really demoralizing. I want to go over the footage again because seeing it, it really reiterates how outrageous this decision is. So look at this footage and ask yourself this, does this officer who's using deadly force against the civilian appear to be in danger in any way at all? I mean, let's assume the worst about Jacob Blake. He allegedly had a knife in his vehicle. So let's assume that not only is that true, but let's assume he was going to get that knife and physically attack one of the officers with it. Is the response to shoot him in the back seven times appear to be a proportionate response to that? Of course it doesn't. No reasonable human being can deduce that it does. We don't even know why Jacob Blake was going to his vehicle. We don't know if the knife that was allegedly there was going to be used by him. For all we know that was a pocket knife, which lots of people carry around. We don't know. But he was shot in the back seven times with children in the car. It's just this is an attempted murder. But at a minimum you would expect manslaughter. Maybe the officer was like not right in his head, but we get nothing. He gets away scot-free. And it's especially outrageous because over the summer in 2020, we saw the largest civil rights movement, perhaps in human history, maybe. I mean, we had the protests break out in Minneapolis and then they took place across the country and even in other cities around the world. Like many of us have never seen something like this before. And what happened? Nothing. Congress was completely unmoved. We got zero action. We got some action at the state and local level. But nationally speaking, our lawmakers were completely unmoved by that. And not only did we get zero reform when it comes to police brutality, we're still seeing the same exact thing where police officers can attempt to murder, if not actually murder, black and brown people and get away with it. I mean, this isn't the first time. Darren Wilson, Mike Brown, and now Jacob Blake is just, you know, another statistic now. He gets no justice. It's just, it's absurd and I don't know what to say. Like it feels as if we live in a failed state. This doesn't happen in an advanced society that protects its own citizens. If its own citizens don't feel as if they're safe in their own communities, then that's a failure of the state, of the government. This state sanctioned violence and murder that keeps happening, this doesn't happen in a society, in a regime that's capable of addressing the concerns of its citizens. So I see this and it's not shocking, but it's still outrageous. I don't know what else to say. There are no words to discuss how grotesque this is, how much of a joke our judicial system is. So I'll leave that there because at this point I'm just ranting and I know that you all feel it, but this is, it's hurtful. Like if you are a black and brown person and you see this, you see another instance where a police officer does this and there's no charges, like what is the thought? Of course you think that your life, it doesn't matter. You think that you're meaningless to the state. They don't care about you and their actions indicate that that's correct. So it's just, it's so sad, it's heartbreaking to see this once again where a police officer is getting away with attempted murder. The only, you know, silver lining is that thankfully Jacob Blake survived somehow, but I mean he's paralyzed, but his survival is a miracle in and of itself. I just wish that there was at least a tiny, tiny chance that there would be justice, but I mean really the conclusion was that the likelihood of there being justice was always very small from the beginning, even though the video went viral. And you know, catalyzed protests. This is just what we've expected as the norm in America. And even when we attempt to change it and protest in cities across the country during a pandemic, nothing happens and we still get the same result. So you know, it's just, it's deeply demoralizing and depressing to see this again and again and again.
