Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris said Thursday that, while she has not seen all the evidence, she believes the police officer who shot Jacob Blake likely used excessive force and should face charges.
Blake was shot seven times in the back by a policeman in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in a confrontation with officers who were dispatched to residence after a woman called 911. He survived the encounter and is recovering in hospital, though family members said he is paralyzed from the waist down. The incident sparked a wave of protests in Kenosha, some violent, with a shooting on the third night of unrest resulting in one injury and two deaths.
