We’re shy into the new year but we didn’t forget about what that officer did to Jacob Blake!
The father of 6 spoke out for the first time since being shot seven times by a white officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin about five months ago.
Blake’s shooting left him partially paralyzed and reignited nationwide protests calling for law enforcement to stop killing Black people.
“I was counting down my breaths and my blinks,” Blake recalled in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Michael Strahan that aired Thursday on “Good Morning America.”
The 29-year-old recalled the incident and said he “didn’t want to die.” He added, he “didn’t want to be the next George Floyd.”
Officer Rusten Sheskey claims Jacob Blake was approaching him with an open knife which prompted him to open fire. “He just kept shooting, kept shooting,” Blake recalled. A witness captured video of some of the incident on their cellphone.
Sheskey claims he gave multiple verbal warnings like “stop resisting” but Blake said he didn’t hear anything. “All I heard was screaming,” he said. ‘My ears was ringing, so it was all muffled.”
Jacob Blake said he wasn’t trying to run away, recalling similar past incidents to avoid “getting beat on.”
“And what I mean by that is not falling, not letting them put they head on my neck,” he added. “That’s all I was thinking, honestly.”
Sheskey’s attorney, Brendan Matthews, said “the officers acted according to their training,” and Jacob Blake was given ample opportunity to comply but didn’t.
This incident happened less than two months after George Floyd’s death and we’ve all read this story too many times and they’ve all had the same ending.

Attorney Tony Buzbee Pushes Legal Crusade Against Celebrities Linked to Diddy’s Alleged Parties
The legal situation surrounding Diddy is heating up as prominent lawyer Tony Buzbee expands his efforts beyond just the music mogul himself. Buzbee is known for representing more than 120 people who have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of misconduct. Now, he is also looking at other celebrities who may have been at Diddy’s infamous parties, where allegations of bad behavior occurred. Buzbee is sending a strong message to those who ignored what was happening: they need to either pay up or may face lawsuits that could seriously harm their reputations.
In a recent appearance on TMZ’s documentary titled The Downfall Of Diddy: Inside The Freak-Offs, Buzbee talked about the responsibility of celebrities who attended these events. He highlighted that those who saw or heard about alleged sexual abuse and drugging yet chose to stay silent are just as guilty as the ones accused. Buzbee revealed that some of these stars have already received letters demanding they settle privately or risk facing public lawsuits.
This situation has significant implications. Buzbee’s tough stance comes as personalities like Ray J speak up, claiming that various stars have contacted him worried about their involvement. Ray J has been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds and suggested that some celebrities try settling with victims before more accusations come to light. It’s unclear if Ray J’s claims indicate real legal trouble or growing anxiety among those involved, but Buzbee’s push for accountability adds a new twist to the ongoing story.
Focused initially on Diddy, this legal battle now shows how famous figures can get caught up in high-profile scandals. As Diddy faces serious federal and criminal cases, the potential consequences for others connected to him are becoming more evident. For now, Tony Buzbee is committed to seeking justice, clarifying that being famous won’t protect anyone from the law. Whether these efforts lead to public trials or quiet settlements, it’s clear that pressure is building for those linked to Diddy’s controversial events.
