False claim that Jacob Blake was unarmed makes police reform more difficult

The constant demand by liberals that we have a grand discussion about policing is difficult because many of them continue to ignore the facts about specific cases. The shooting of Jacob Blake is currently the most prominent example.

ESPN was the most recent offender, as NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski falsely claimed that Blake was unarmed when he was shot by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August. This comes two weeks after ESPN’s Mark Jones also falsely claimed that “Blake, of course, was unarmed” during the ESPN broadcast of an NBA game.
