Yesterday (Aug. 26), in the thick of playoff season, the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, and Portland Trailblazers, as well as WNBA team Atlanta Dream opted to call off their scheduled games out of protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Blake, a 29-year-old man from Wisconsin, was reportedly shot in the back multiple times by a police officer in Kenosha, on Sunday (Aug. 23). His family has since disclosed that he was left paralyzed from the waist down by the incident. Numerous members of the hip-hop community have taken to social media to demand answers after the horrific video of Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old Black man who was shot by Wisconsin police, surfaced online. On Sunday (Aug. 23), Blake was reportedly shot seven times in the back by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, prompting national outrage. The 29-year-old had allegedly stepped in to help de-escalate an altercation between two women at the time of the incident. In a graphic video circulated on social media, Blake, who was unarmed, is seen walking away from a group of police officers toward an SUV. One of the officers follows him with a gun pointing at his back. Blake opens the driver’s side door and appears to try to get into the vehicle when the officer grabs him by the back of his shirt, pulling him back, and then shoots him at close range. Several shots can be heard, followed by a car horn. Blake’s three sons were reportedly inside of the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
