A lawyer representing the Kenosha officer who shot Jacob Blake is speaking out.

The officer thought Blake was kidnapping his child and when Blake turned toward him with a knife he shot him 7 times until he determined Blake was, no longer posing an imminent threat.

The officer, through his attorney, said when he arrived on the scene on August 23rd he heard a woman say, he's got my kid!

He's got my keys.

The officer then saw Blake putting a child in the SUV.

His lawyer said, had the officer not acted the question from everyone would have been, why didn't you do something?

Jacob Blake's uncle says the allegations are a lie. What are your thoughts on this case?
