Rolling Stone is one of many outlets that have incorrectly pushed the narrative that Blake was "unarmed" when he was shot by police.
Jacob Blake had been shot 7 times in Kenosha, Wisconsin after police responded to a 911 call from the mother of his children and attempted to arrest him. The incident left him partially paralyzed and sparked a wave of violent protests in 2020. Violent protests in Kenosha caused at least $50 million in damages and forced thousands of National Guard members to be called in to quell the ensuing chaos.
