At around 5pm on Sunday, August 23rd, 29 year old Jacob Blake was shot 7 times in his back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  Sources say police were called to the scene to settle a domestic dispute between two women, in which Blake was helping to de-escalate the situation.  After being tased by the Kenosha police, Blake walked back to his car to check on his children.  As Blake walked away, an officer grabbed him by his shirt and shot him 7 times at “point blank range”.  Blake’s three young children (ages 3, 5, and 8) were traumatized as they watched the police shoot their father.  This story is still developing.

Two officers have been placed on administrative leave and the shooting is being investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Hi ______,

My name is ______ and I am calling to demand justice for Jacob Blake.  Jacob Blake is currently in critical condition and fighting for his life after Kenosha police shot him 7 times in front of his three young children. This is inhumane, unacceptable, and representative of the deep rooted racism and police brutality within our community. 

As a resident of     (city, state)      , I am demanding that all police officers involved in the shooting be fired immediately and that the Kenosha District Attorney file appropriate charges and prosecute those involved to the fullest extent of the law.  I am asking you to use your position of power to do what is best for the community and to do what is best for the Blake family.  I am counting on you to act now.

In Solidarity,

I always see some people nervous about tags (more specifically about tagging other peoples) and I maked this post to show that I’m an safe zone for people who are apprehensive about tags or who are simply shy. 

I’ve always liked community tags, they’re really fun, and they serve to know each other more and create bonds of friendship. Let’s be friends! Feel free to tag me.
