Do not accept Wisconsin DOJ's statement that Jacob Blake admitted he had a knife "in his possession."
Police and prosecutors lie.

Mr. Blake's family have said that he is not even aware of what has happened to him. That he does not realize police shot him in the back. When is he supposed to have made that statement?
Also "possession" is a legal term. This does not mean he had a knife on his person.
in fact, we can see from the video he didn't. He was wearing a tank top and shorts.

They could be insinuating he had a knife in his car.
Maybe he did. Maybe he kept one in the glove compartment or trunk. If so that would constitute possession, but obviously it wouldn't be a threat.

But the idea that anyone shot in the back seven times by police, who has undergone several surgeries, would be in the position to make a statement like that is ridiculous.
And it is honestly so predictable and disgusting that this would be the AG's focus right now.

ALSO, so what? Even if Mr. Blake had a knife somewhere in his car, the idea that he should have been shot in the back because of it, is ludicrous.
