VIDEO: White Policeman Shoots Unarmed Black Man In The Presence of His Children in Wisconsin

An unarmed black man was shot in the back seven times by a white police officer in the presence of his three children in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The Police officers were called to the scene of the incident because of a domestic dispute in the neighbourhood. They responded but it ended with one of them shooting the black father on Sunday, August 23rd around 5pm.

The man identified as 29 year-old Jacob Blake, was airlifted to a Milwaukee hospital, where he is currently in a critical condition.

Eye witnesses reported that blake’s three children were inside the car.

Benjamin Crump, a civil rights attorney who represents George Floyd’s family, posted the video of the shooting on his twitter account and noted that the shooting took place right in front of Blake’s three children.

His tweet reads,

“They saw a cop shoot their father,

“They will be traumatized forever. We cannot let officers violate their duty to PROTECT us. Our kids deserve better!!”
