LeBron James, Bucks speak out after no charges were filed against officer in Jacob Blake shooting.

Tue, January 5, 2021, 8:01 PM CST
LeBron James was quick to react on Tuesday night after prosecutors declined to press charges against the officer who shot Jacob Blake multiple times in the back in August — something that caused massive protests in the NBA and elsewhere last summer.

Wisconsin prosecutor said Tuesday that they will not pursue criminal charges against police officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white, after he shot Blake, a Black man, multiple times in the back in August. The shooting, which was caught on video, left Blake paralyzed and sparked widespread outrage and protests both in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and across the country.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a 18-year-old from Illinois, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to six criminal charges after he shot and killed two people during protests in Kenosha after the Blake shooting.

There was widespread protesting in the sports world in the wake of the shooting, too. The Milwaukee Bucks refused to take the court during their opening-round playoff series inside the NBA bubble in August in response to the shooting, which led to similar walkouts and strikes across the league, WNBA, MLB and more.
