Megyn Kelly Hammers Kamala Harris for Her Visit to Indicted Sex Offender Jacob Blake

RedState  "On Sunday, Democrat Vice President-nominee Kamala Harris visited Kenosha, WI, to hold court at the bedside of Jacob Blake.

"Blake, if you recall, is the man shot in the back seven times by Kenosha police. While his shooting, based on a very incomplete video and accounting of events, set off days of riots in Kenosha by Antifa thugs LARPing as outraged Black people, we have since learned a lot more about the affair.

. . . 

"And, extensive background was omitted:

According to the police association, the initial call that brought officers there was that Blake was trying to steal the keys to the caller’s vehicle, and that the SUV Blake is seen entering in widely shared video was not Blake’s vehicle. It also says the responding officers were aware Blake had an open warrant for third-degree felony sexual assault before they were on the scene. When officers tried to speak to Blake, he wasn’t cooperative.

The police association says Blake got one of the officers in a headlock during a confrontation on the passenger side of the SUV. Two officers fired stun guns and neither of them stopped Blake.

The attorney says Blake was armed with a knife at that time. Although police initially weren’t aware of the knife, they saw him holding it before he walked around to the driver’s side of the SUV and were ordering him to drop the knife as he walked away from him. He ignored repeated verbal commands to drop the knife.

“The officers involved gave Mr. Blake numerous opportunities to comply,” the statement reads. “He chose not to.”

"In addition, Blake had a previous arrest for threatening bar patrons with a pistol.

"So, as a recap, Blake essentially invaded the home of a former girlfriend whom he had sexually assaulted. He was the object of a restraining order and an outstanding arrest warrant. He had demonstrated violent behavior in the past. He took his ex’s keys and was trying to take her car. He fought with police, and Tasering him proved ineffective. He was armed. He tried to escape. He got shot." . . .
