Jacob Blake was shot 7 times, 7 times, 7 times on August 23rd in Kenosha, Wisconsin in front of his 3 children all under the age of 9. He was shot 7 times by Kenosha Policemen who were said to be called to the area for a domestic disturbance. He was unarmed, he was not belligerent, watch the video. Yet, he was shot. In front of his children. The cops have been said to be placed on administrative leave! People question why we have to say Black Lives Matter: this is why. Kenosha County District Attorney: Michael Graveley, is responsible for filing charges against the police officers who shot Jacob Blake 262-653-2400

Never thought I would paint bullet holes on the back of a T-shirt. 7 gunshots in the back. This happened to a human being in real life. A Black Man. How many more? #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/6wtjez0aOa

As athletes whether we like it or not we inherit this responsibility to use our platforms and be a voice for the voiceless. Especially when the leadership in this country isn’t doing it for us. This team is special. Our family is special. Proud of y’all for stepping up and standing your ground. When we take those jerseys off WE ARE BLACK and because of that we are not valued and our lives are constantly threatened. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. You don’t get to sit and watch sports and ignore what’s happening in this country. You don’t get to be entertained by black men and women on the court/field, and then NOT care what happens to us and our families off those surfaces. HEAR US, SEE US, FEEL US WHEN WE SAY WE ARE TIRED.

Jacob Blake Look up his name, you’ll see the video. You will see the injustice. He was shot 7 times in the back on August 23 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. 7 times. He was unarmed and not belligerent. Yet he was still shot.... in front of his children. And people still question why we have to say Black Lives Matter: this is why. Kenosha County District Attorney: Michael Graveley, is responsible for filing charges against the police officers who shot Jacob Blake 262-653-2400
