On August 23, Jacob Blake, a 29 year old African-American Man was shot 7 times in the back as he was trying to get into his car. Blake’s kids were in the car as he was being shot. Police had a warrant for Blake’s arrest and claimed he was resisting but all the video shows is Blake walking with his back turned to the police.
