SHACKLED TO HIS %
HOSPITAL BED %
COUPLE, THE %
POLICE CHIEF %

AGENCY. %
HE SAYS IT IS A %

BEFORE THE %

WHETHER OR NOT %
THOSE OFFICERS %
WERE AWARE OF %
THE AWARD. %

WASHINGTON, DC. %
WHAT IS THE %
LATEST ON HIS %
CONDITION AND %
HOW HE IS DOING?
HIS FATHER IS IN %
WASHINGTON, DC, %
RIGHT NOW. %
WE GOT TO CATCH %
UP WITH HIM. %
OUR GARRETT %
HAYES %
INTERVIEWED HIM %
BEFORE HIS %
SPEECH. %
ONE THING TO %
NOTE, HE SAID,
WHILE HIS SON IS %
DOING BETTER, HE %
IS IN THE %
HOSPITAL, HE IS %
STILL HOLDING ON %
AND FIGHTING FOR %
HIS LIFE. %
LISTEN TO A %
LITTLE BIT OF %
WHAT HE SAID %
EARLIER TODAY %
FROM DC. %
>> MY SON IS %
PARALYZED FROM %
THE WAIST DOWN. %
WE DON’T KNOW IF %
HE WILL BE %
PARALYZED FOR %
THE REST OF HIS %
LIFE.
THE SWELLING,
BUT I DON’T CARE.
GRABBED MY HAND %
WHEN I WENT INTO
THE HOSPITAL.

THOUGHT I WAS %
HALLUCINATING. % HE GRABBED MY %
HE GRABBED MY %
HAND.
>> Reporter: SO %
YOU HEAR HIS %
FATHER %
EXPLAINING, THE %
ENCOUNTER HE HAD %
WITH HIS SON.
HE GOT TO HAVE %
THAT EXPENSE %
WITH HIM IN THE %
HOSPITAL.
ALISON?
>> SAC, I CAN’T %
STOP SHAKING MY %
HEAD BECAUSE I
CAN’T UNDERSTAND %
A MAN WHO IS IN %
TEARS, IN PAIN, %
PARALYZED.
I KNOW WE NEED %
TO MOVE ON FROM %
THIS, BUT IT %
DOES NOT MAKE %
SENSE. %
IT BORDERS ON %
SETTING INHUMAN. %
I KNOW TODAY WE %
ALSO GOT SOME %
NEW INFORMATION. %
TODAY, THE %
WISCONSIN DOJ %
IDENTIFIED THE %
OTHER OFFICERS %
WHO WERE %
INVOLVED IN %
BLAKE’S %
SHOOTING. %
WHAT OTHER %
INFORMATION DO %
YOU HAVE? %
>> THAT IS %
RIGHT. %
THEY GET A FEW %
MORE DETAILS %
ABOUT THE %
EXCHANGE AND %
WHAT HAPPENED %
BEFORE THE %
SHOOTING AT THE %
ALSO DETAILED %
THE OFFICERS %
INVOLVED. %
WE ALREADY KNEW %
ABOUT OFFICER %
RUSTEN SHESKEY. %
HE WAS THE ONE %
WHO PART OF THE %
SEVEN SHOTS INTO %
THE BACK OF MR. %
BLAKE. %
THAT IS %
CONFIRMED BY THE %
STATE DOJ. %
BUT WHAT THEY %
SAY IN THE %
DETAILS THAT %
RECEIVED IS THAT %
RIGHT BEFORE THE %
SHOOTING, AS FOR %
OFFICERS ABOUT,
MR. CHESKY OR %
OFFICER CHESKY %
ALSO TRIED TO %
HAYES MR. BLAKE.
THAT WAS AN
UNSUCCESSFUL %
ATTEMPT TO TASTE %
HIM. %
THERE WAS %
ANOTHER OFFICER %
ON THE SCENE, %
OFFICER VINCENT,
WHO ALSO HIS %
TASER IN THAT %
INITIAL
EXCHANGE. %
ALSO FOUND IT %
UNSUCCESSFULLY % AND THEN WE ALSO %
AND THEN WE ALSO %
HAVE THE NAME OF
OFFICER BRITTANY %
MERONEK. %
SHE JUST JOINED %
THE ENFORCE. %
IN JANUARY. %
HER ROLE IN THE %
SITUATION IS NOT %
EXACTLY CLEAR. %
I DON’T QUITE %
SOME VIDEO FROM %
THAT INITIAL %
VIDEO THAT WE %
SAW THAT SPARKED %
EVERYTHING. %
THERE IS VIDEO %
SHOWING HER %
HELPING OUT AND %
ASSISTING MR. %
BLAKE AFTER THE %
SHOOTING. %
BUT IF, WE NOW %
HAVE A FULLER %
PICTURE OF WHAT %
HAPPENED, %
ANSWERING SOME %
OF THOSE SIX %
QUESTIONS WE %
HAVE BEEN ASKING %
SINCE THE START %
OF THIS, SINCE %
SATURDAY NIGHT, %
WHERE THE REAL %
LAST STATEMENT %
THAT WE GOT WAS %
ON THAT SUNDAY %
NIGHT. %
ALISON? %
>> SHAQ I KNOW %
WE NEED TO LET %
YOU GO, BUT %
QUICK QUESTION. %
WHAT CONCERNS %
ARE THERE ABOUT %
PROTESTS OR %
VIOLENCE OR %
ANYTHING LIKE %
THAT HEADING %
INTO THE BEGAN. %
>> Reporter: %
PROTESTS FOR THE %
PAST FEW NIGHT %
PLUS HAVE BEEN %
LARGELY %
PEACEFUL. %
THAT IS NOT TO %
SAY THAT THAT % THERE HAVE NOT
THERE HAVE NOT
BEEN AREAS.
INSTEAD OF IT %
BEING THAT 8:00 %
PM CURFEW, IT IS %
NOW AT 7:00 P.M. %
IN DOING THAT, %
THEY EXPLAINED %
THE REASON THEY %
DID THAT IS TO %
ALLOW ARRESTS %
THAT HAVE BEEN %
IN DAYLIGHT %
ESSENTIALLY. %
ONE OF THE %
ARRESTS HAVE %
GONE VIRAL. %
AN ARREST OF
FOLKS IN A BLACK %
VAN AND A BREAD %
TRUCK. %
THEY SAID THEY %
WERE WITH A %
FURRED SERVICE, %
A FOOD DELIVERY %
SERVICE. %
OFFICERS %
ARRESTED NINE %
INDIVIDUALS %
AFTER THEY %
RAISING FILLING %
UP INDIVIDUAL %
GAS TANKS OR GAS %
CANISTERS INSIDE %
THEIR VEHICLE. %
OFFICERS SAY %
THEY FOUND %
ILLEGAL %
FIREWORKS BUT %
THEY FOUND GAS %
MASKS THEY FOUND %
HELMETS. %
OFFICERS ARE %
SAYING THAT IS %
AN EXAMPLE OF %
WHAT THEY CAN DO %
NOW THAT THEY %
HAVE AN EARLIER
CURFEW TIME IN %
ADDITION TO %
THAT, WE ALSO %
HAVE THE %
MOBILIZATION OF %
THE NATIONAL %
GUARD THAT IS %
STILL HERE. %
THREE OTHER
STATES INTERVENE
TO THE EFFORTS %
HERE IN %
WISCONSIN,
CONTRIBUTING TO
THE NATIONAL %
GUARD MISSION. %
STILL UNDER THE %
NATIONAL GUARD %
COMMAND. %
STILL UNDER %
STATE CONTROL. %
NOW YOU HAVE
MORE %
REINFORCEMENT AS %
WE HEAD INTO THE %
WEEKEND. %
WE TO EXPECT %
PROTESTS TO %
CONTINUE AS THEY %
HAVE BEEN %
HAPPENING EVERY %
NIGHT. %
AGAIN, LAST %
NIGHT, THEY HAVE %
BEEN LARGELY %
PEACEFUL. %
WE EXPECT THAT %
TO HAPPEN TO THE %
BEGIN AS PEOPLE %
CONTINUE TO
REFLECT ON AND %
CONTINUE TO %
REACT TO THE %
SHOOTING OF MR. %
BLAKE. %
ALISON? %
>> ALL RIGHT, %
