This incident was recorded by many people.

And this time a new video has come out. In this video Jacob is seen struggling to free himself from the clutches of the cops. Although the video is a bit shaky and blurry but it shows that struggle between the cops and Jacob.

Actually Jacob was trying to free himself and walk away from the cops. And he was trying to get into his SUV while the police were following him with arms and ammunition. But before he could enter his vehicle he was shot multiple times in his back by Officer Rusten Sheskey.

Although Jacob was lucky enough to have survived the gunshots. But the thing here is that he could have been another George Floyd.

What Actually Happened?

According to Kenosha Police there were several warrants against Jacob. And this warrant was based on charges of sexual assault, trespassing and domestic abuse.

And when the cops went on to arrest him, he tried to fled. But does that actually give them the right to shoot someone? Also some people are questioning  on whether the police would have done the same if there was a White Person instead of Jacob.

Therefore this incident is taking a racial turn. And is currently under investigation.
