Protests continue for Jacob Blake, who was shot on August 23rd by Rusten Sheskey, an officer from the Kenosha Police Department.
Speaking of the protests, Jacob Blake's father says: "We’re not going to stop. We’re still suffering because there are two justice systems...
...There’s one for that white boy that walked down the street and killed two people and blew another man’s arm off. Then there’s one for my son...”
Jacob is thankfully recovering in hospital. His shooter is currently on administrative leave.

'They put a leather belt around her
13 feet of tape and bound her
Handcuffs to secure her
And only God knows what else,
She’s illegal, so deport her
Said the Empire that brought her
She died,
Nobody killed her
And she never killed herself'
- Benjamin Zephaniah
