De facto presidential candidate Kamala Harris says she is proud of Jacob Blake. This reflects alarmingly on her character, because Blake’s character is not in dispute. At the time he was shot while violently resisting arrest, Blake was wanted for felony domestic abuse. Now it appears he was in the process of kidnapping a child:

Police Officer Rusten Sheskey has told investigators that it wasn’t just his life he was defending when he fired his weapon seven times at Jacob Blake last month in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He said he used deadly force during the chaotic encounter because he was afraid Blake, while attempting to flee the scene, was trying to kidnap a child in the backseat of the vehicle.

“He’s got my kid. He’s got my keys,” Sheskey heard a woman say, according to attorney Brendan Matthews, who is representing the officer. If Sheskey had allowed Blake to drive away and something happened to the child “the question would have been ‘why didn’t you do something?'” Matthews said.

Officer Sheskey would have been in no position to do anything but bleed if he had not shot Blake.

At the time Sheskey opened fire, the lawyer said, Blake held a knife in his hand and twisted his body toward the officer.

This has been corroborated.

Matthews said a second officer at the scene, whom he also represents, provided investigators with a similar account of Blake turning toward Sheskey with a knife in his hand immediately prior to the shooting. That officer said he too would have opened fire but did not have a clear angle, according to the lawyer.

Authorities have said Blake had a knife in his possession and the weapon was found on the floorboard of the vehicle.

It was crazy enough to expect Sheskey to just stand there and let this vicious criminal gut him like a fish. Crazier still, he was supposed to let himself die to facilitate an apparent kidnapping.

To take crazy to the ultimate extreme, Kenosha was partially burned down to protest the “racism” of Sheskey not letting Blake kill him. Kamala Harris evidently approves of this.

As morally depraved as Harris, the liberal establishment continues to deify Jacob Blake. NFL players wear his name on their helmets. Tim Pool is right to be disgusted:
