'My son matters, he's a human being and he matters,' Jacob Blake Snr. says as the family react to Sunday night's police shooting. Earlier today, Jacob Blake's father said his son has been left paralyzed by the incident:

SHARE

Another family attorney said they would be filing a civil lawsuit against the police department over the shooting. Police have said little about what happened, other than that they were responding to a domestic dispute. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers called for protesters to be peaceful, while also saying the National Guard presence would be doubled from 125 to 250 in Kenosha after crowds destroyed dozens of buildings and set more than 30 fires on Monday night.

Three of the younger Blake's sons -- aged 3, 5 and 8 -- were in the car at the time of the shooting, according to Ben Crump, a civil rights attorney representing the family. Crump scheduled a Tuesday afternoon news conference in Kenosha with Blake's family members to address the shooting. In the footage, Blake walks from the sidewalk around the front of his SUV to his driver-side door as officers follow him with their guns drawn and shout at him. As Blake opens the door and leans into the SUV, an officer grabs his shirt from behind and opens fire while Blake has his back turned. Seven shots can be heard, though it isn't clear how many struck Blake or how many officers fired.

One of the buildings destroyed was the Wisconsin Department of Corrections' probation and parole office. Most staff had already transitioned to working remotely, and all essential operations are continuing, said department spokeswoman Anna Neal.

how about you not be a multi-felon with a warrant out for your arrest and known to fight the cops 1st before we all cry about what happened and start to riot and ruin other peoples businesses and more for no reason. But wait the media is not allowed to say that

CTV News, how much are they paying you to start a racial civil war in America? Is this part of the money they paid you to try and make Pres. Trump look bad?

Make sure the to mention he was resisting arrest and that alone was a felony unless you are black.

ElizabethMay Where are the protests? This boys life didnt matter? Give your head a shake lizzy you drunk

Where is the outrage for these lives lost?

If you all wanted change then why isnt anyone condemning the shootings black on black every day in cities? Chicago had 22 shot on monday of this week.. YES TWENTY-TWO!!!!! Yet no MSM, No BLM, All are silent about the real problem. Police are NOT the problem!!!!!

Lotta criminals in her family

Make sure you say criminal with long history Make sure you say child abuser Make sure you say warrant for his arrest Make sure you say resisted arrest Make sure you say job well done to the officers involved

🤮🤮🤮

Going to write a story on the people he assaulted, or his 14 year old rape victim?

Make sure you say criminal resisting arrest

Make sure you say 'fellow inmate'.

Make sure you say CRIMINAL

*criminal that resisted arrest, brandished a knife, fought police, got tased once and still tried to get something from his vehicle. Add idiot and low IQ to that list as well.

still silent on the 65 shot in Chicago last weekend. Not a word...

Maybe don’t brawl with cops and reach in your car for a gun, THANK YOU POLICE for keeping us safe

Nobody is saying it, they're not wearing a mask .No social distancing. If they were white , The anifta or blm would be all over this. IT strait up not fair.

make sure you say rapist

ElizabethMay Uh huh. Right. Yeah.

👇the comments do a better job at reporting than CTV.

it was excessive. he was there to break up a fight between 2 women, they werent even there for him. shot him 7 times and at no point in time while he was walking and they walked behind him did the police even yell ''stop''. it was bullshit. idc what any of you say.

How about warrant for sexually assaulting and minor, resisting arrest, not complying with officers , felon

Just don’t say his name ... we don’t talk about criminals ...

lol ctv is a racist motivator

make sure you know the criminal history.... make sure you know that typically the black people you see being shot are resisting/on drugs/violent and it's not like the cops just show up shooting... understand that black people like that target white people because they're racist..

Funny how if only listened he would not of been shot weird how that works.BLMbull

Why don't you do it like sweden does? Any place where the POLICE, FIRE and AMBULANCE are not wanted, declare it a 'NO GO ZONE' Now that is being progressive.

As usual, CTV doesn't give the whole story. MSM is garbage.

all the Canadian Government funding with our taxes ..can you please cover Canadian news and corruption in Ottawa..silence is acceptance ..is Corruption

Also.... might want to say sex offender.... just saying.... what happened to all the metoo folks?

Don't forget domestic violence multiple felonies being stupid in not doing what he was told to do resisting arrest .he was not a nice guy .

They are wearing their mask wrong.

Jacob blake = criminal, felon, rapist, who was evading arrest.

He had a warrant, he had a history of assaulting police, he fought with police prior to being shot. He brought it on himself. Did he deserve to be shot 7 times? No that was eexcessive. But play stupid games win stupid prizes.

CTV is not Canadian news. Turn it off.

Makesureyousay, a manwho took his children to a riot, brandishing a knife. Who resisted arrestand was held accountable for his actions. His current actions. He has yet to be tried for sexual assault and domestic abuse. Jacob Black is apieceofshit because of his actionsNot colour.

How about- Good riddance!

Also make sure you say a man who was resisting arrest disobeying a police officer people who obey don’t get shot yes sir no sir goes along way

New footage shows Jacob Blake brawling with cops before being shot. The Kenosha man, who survived, has a criminal history that includes assaulting police, resisting arrest, domestic abuse, a felony sex crime & more. There is a warrant for his arrest. daily mail

I saw the video with my own two eyes. Jacob made a grave error by walking away from police and trying to get into a vehicle. Deadly force was justified. I feel bad for the police officer who had to make this horrible decision in order to protect lives in the neighborhood.

That was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen! Those kids were in the car a bullet could have ricocheted and hit any one of them. If someone has their back to you, they're not a threat 💔😠. Those children will have PTSD disorder for the rest of their life.

I's want to make some money, Ya'll

Too bad that Dylann Roof didn't have a car to reach into. You all remember that white kid? Cops took him for drive thru after.

And Felon, and repeat offender and repeat criminal acts using firearms. And a total complete fukking moron for resisting arrest and then reaching into a vehicle where cops can’t see his hands But CTV goes all racist and protects him because of the color his skin.

You want change then tell the black criminals to go straight tell them to stop putting others at risk tell then to stop resisting arrest. AllLifeMatters BlueLifeMatters BlackLifeMatters

Time for to push more propaganda

Make shore you say:. Man who raped a 14 year old girl and professional criminal.

another era of RACIAL DESCRIMINATION IN US...

How about, wanted!

So... where does rapist and felon fit in?

Don’t get in trouble with the cops

Make sure to say idiot.

The media again is spreading garbage...

Wow ! that was really powerful and impactful

Fuc-in ctv again

Make sure you say child rapist

I'll just call him what he is. A criminal

He won't be raping anyone else anytime soon.

The women he sexually abused and beat... there lives matter more.

I'll say lead magnet.

Get back to me when police are randomly gunning down law abiding black people just going about their daily business not low life’s attempting to harm others and resisting arrest I refuse to be drawn into a race war just because it’s “good for business” AllLivesMatters

Make sure you say “domestic violence, sexual interference and assault.” Also :)

Make sure you say rape charges. Make sure you say assault charges. Make sure you say resisting arrest.

If only this career criminal complied with the police. Instead he thought he’d fight he way out.

Black votes matter

Another criminal

Stop destroy America. Stop killing massive of Americans by spreading of the Chinese virus. Stop rioters, looters, Chinese communists, antifa for the corruption with China.

Also.. Make sure you say criminal. Make sure you say felon. Make sure you say violent. Make sure you say sexual assaulter. Make sure you say degenerate.

When will the media actually pick a martyr people can get behind?

Make sure you say resisting arrest.

Maybe the father and mother of Jacob Blake should have done a better job of raising him.

What happened that caused this incident

Mr Blake what happened to your son was tragic and needless. But can you tell me why, when asked by the police to stop he didn't listen?

Lawsuits to follow?

Maybe he should have taught his son not to be a violent criminal who beats women and fights with police.

Don't try and fight the police. Don't try to go for your gun. Don't get shot.

Maybe if he didn't have a warrant for his arrest at the time and maybe just obeyed police direction, he might still be walking?

when he failed to comply with officers pointing a gun at him, he made it clear that his life doesnt matter. perhaps you should have been a better father and taught him how to properly deal with authority figures

Jacob Blake (father, brother, uncle, son, human) did not deserve this 😢

CTV YOU ARE FAKE NEWS! Why don’t you show your brainless viewers the whole video, and tell the truth about what the man did. I don’t support that shit.

Moral of the story obey lawfull comands and do not appear to reach for a weapon when you have a history of doing so.

I’m usually pro police but wtf is wrong with these cops

You spelt baby daddy wrong!!

I nominate this man for father of the year! He obviously is responsible for raising such a productive member of society

'I'm encouraging everyone in Wisconsin and abroad to take a moment and examine your hearts,' Jacob Blake's mother, Julia Jackson, pleads to protesters.

Kenosha delayed body cameras for years before Blake shootingCity and law enforcement leaders in Kenosha, Wisconsin, unanimously endorsed the use of body cameras in 2017, among other benefits. But since then, they put off implementation, meaning that officers who were on the scene of Sunday's shooting of Jacob Blake while responding to a domestic call were not equipped with technology. What are you implying? And? Yes!!! Another criminal thug down!!!!
