There are conflicting reports out there, after two nights of rioting in Kenosha, Wisconsin because a police officer shot Jacob Blake. Some reports circulating around claim Blake was brandishing a knife. The UK Daily Mail is claiming Blake was brawling with police officers, though photos are too distorted to tell what’s really going on. You can believe what you want, but if any of these reports are true, this changes the entire narrative of the Jacob Blake shooting. There is also a video, which includes the start of the shooting, so I wouldn’t post it here.

The 29-year-old unarmed black man who was shot seven times by a Wisconsin police officer on Sunday was involved in a brawl with several Kenosha cops moments before the shooting.
Amateur video shows the events leading up to the shooting – though the footage is taken from the opposite angle of the initial viral cell phone clip in which Jacob Blake is seen walking toward his SUV before he is gunned down.
In the latest video, Blake is seen wrestling with at least two Kenosha police officers.
Jacob Blake is still alive, but in serious condition.
