Officer who shot Jacob Blake back on duty, won't face discipline, chief says

Flashback: Cellphone footage shows Sheskey shooting Blake several times at close range in the back as Blake entered a vehicle with his children inside. The shooting left Blake paralyzed.

• An investigation by the state Department of Justice found that Blake had a knife in the moments that led up to the shooting. Blake's lawyers said Sheskey fired his weapon after Blake dropped the the knife in his car.
• There is no body camera footage of the incident.

What he's saying: "Officer Sheskey was not charged with any wrong doing. He acted within the law and was consistent with training," Miskinis said in a statement Tuesday, citing an outside agency investigation and the decision by the Kenosha County district attorney.

• "Although this incident has been reviewed at multiple levels, I know that some will not be pleased with the outcome; however given the facts, the only lawful and appropriate decision was made," he added.

• Miskinis said Sheskey had returned from administrative leave as of March 31.

Following the district attorney's decision not to file charges, Ben Crump, a Blake family lawyer, said the move "failed not only Jacob and his family, but the community that protested and demanded justice."

• Blake filed a federal complaint against Sheskey last month seeking unspecified damages.
