Failure to prosecute Rusten Shesky for shooting Jacob Blake a ‘blow to the heart and to the gut,’ says LeBron

LeBRON JAMES called a prosecutor’s decision not to file charges against a white police officer who shot a black man in Wisconsin this summer a “blow to the heart and to the gut.”

Back in Wisconsin, the Marquette men’s basketball team wore black uniforms to protest at the decision, and the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks said they plan to continue pushing for policy changes in law enforcement.

Jacob Blake, who is black, was left paralysed after being shot in the back on August 23 by Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white.
