Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

white Cop Who Shot Jacob Blake Not Charged In Kenosha, Wisconsin, Case

Outrageous display of white privilege



Rusten Sheskey, the police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, who shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times in August, paralyzing him from the waist down and sparking protests, will not face charges for the incident, Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced Tuesday.

"No Kenosha law enforcement officer in this case will be charged with any criminal offense", Graveley said, emphasizing the role self-defense statutes played in his decision.

Graveley added that Blake will also not face charges for his role in the "tragedy".

Following the announcement Tuesday, Blake's attorney Ben Crump said he and Blake's family "are immensely disappointed" and pledged to keep fighting.

"We will continue to press forward with our own investigation and fight for systemic change in policing and transparency at all levels", he said. "We urge Americans to continue to raise their voices and demand change in peaceful and positive ways during this emotional time".
