Kenosha’s mayor and police chief say they are getting ready for the reaction when a charging decision is released in the Jacob Blake case.
Blake was shot in the back seven times last August by a Kenosha police officer.
Mayor John Antaramian and Police Chief Daniel Miskinis jointly wrote an op-ed piece in the Kenosha News Sunday. In it, they acknowledged that people will have different opinions and strong emotions when the decision is announced.
The mayor and chief say the violence seen on the city’s streets last summer won’t be tolerated. Reverend Jonathan Baker of Grace Lutheran Church says he’s been working with the two city officials on police reform.
Baker says if justice isn’t given to Jacob Blake there will be a tremendous loss of trust by the citizens for the city of Kenosha.
