Jacob Blake, the Black man paralyzed after a Kenosha police officer shot him last summer, has filed an excessive force civil suit in federal court.
Blake is suing Kenosha Officer Rusten Sheskey for his actions in August.
No criminal charges were filed against the officer because he said he feared for his life.
Blake was shot in the back while he was entering an S-U-V during a domestic dispute.
The suit seeks unspecified damages from Sheskey.
The shooting of Blake led to more protests over police brutality and racism.
He was wounded three months after George Floyd died while being restrained by Minneapolis police.
