Jacob Blake has dropped his federal civil rights lawsuit against the Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer who shot him during a domestic disturbance and left him paralyzed from the waist down.
Attorneys for Blake, whose August 2020 shooting sparked the protests in which Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shot two men and wounded a third, and for Kenosha police Officer Rusten Sheskey didn’t say in their court filings why the lawsuit was dropped. Nor did they say whether an out-of-court financial settlement had been reached.
