The mother of Jacob Blake, who was shot by police on Sunday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has called for an end to the violence and rioting sparked off by the incident. She also offered an apology to President Donald Trump for what appears to be offensive comments made by a Blake family member.
“Please, Don’t Burn Up Property And Cause Havoc”
Blake was shot seven times in the back by police officers on Sunday afternoon, after leaning into his SUV despite directions from the police not to do so. The shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, triggered massive riots in the town, where looters and antifa have started burning down everything they can, including apartment buildings and local businesses.
Blake’s mother, Julia Jackson, appeared on CNN on Tuesday night, calling for the rioters to stop their actions.
“My family and I are very hurt, and quite frankly, disgusted [by the riots],” Jackson said. “Please, don’t burn up property and cause havoc, and tear your homes down, in my son’s name,” she continued. “To use my child’s… tragedy to react in that manner is just not acceptable.”
Apology To President Trump From Blake’s Mother
President Trump had attempted to call the family, according to Jackson.
“I’m sorry I missed your call,” Jackson continued. “Because, had I not missed your call, maybe the comments you had made would have been different. I’m not mad at you at all. I have the utmost respect for you as the leader of our country.”
According to Breitbart, Jackson apologize for an “outburst” from someone in her family:
Jackson added that a family member who is “hurting” said something “not kind” about Trump. “I do apologize for that outburst,” she said. “That does not reflect our behavior.”

It is unclear what the comments were, or from what family member.
However, President Trump has seemingly not made any comments on the case of Blake, who is currently in hospital and paralysed, according to his family; Jackson did not elaborate on what these supposed comments from the President were.

A Huge Contrast In Parents
The reaction of Jacob Blake’s mother is completely in contrast to the remarks made by his father. Blake Sr. said the shooting of his son was a “senseless attempted murder,” and that he had absolutely no confidence in any white people who investigate the incident.
“I don’t have confidence in anybody that is white that is doing an investigation about a black young man that was shot seven times in his back and hasn’t come up with an answer or a comment,” Blake Sr said.
What a difference! Blake’s mother is classy and kind in her interview, yet his father starts spouting racist nonsense as soon as he gets a chance in front of the cameras. I wonder which parent Blake took after more?

The shooting of Jacob Blake was not murder. Had I acted the way he did, with the same background as he has, I would have been shot at the same point in time; and I'm white.
I think the mom knows well her sons bad behavior history and expected this day would come as a result. Dad seems to be of the mentality that ALL conflict is the fault of police.
Rampant police brutality and "systemic" racism are a farce. Read "Taboo" for the real truth, written by a black college professor Wilfred Reilly.
The father (using the term loosely): “I don’t have confidence in anybody that is white that is doing an investigation about a black young man“. He is the face of ‘black’ racism. No wonder his ‘child’ was/is a screwed up criminal!
Well at least we know where Blake got his criminal mind from, right Dad.
You all are so right his father sounds just like a dirt bag
God Bless Ms Jackson. As a mother I can only imagine the pain she is in right now, regardless of the facts. She is obviously a very strong woman and even though she is going through an incredibly difficult time, she still maintains clarity and dignity. She is asking that the destruction of a community happening, in the name of her son, stop. Unfortunately, her voice will be drowned out and all but lost as MSM, BLM, and Antifa will surely maintain focus on Mr Blake Sr's comments and outrage.
God Bless Her and her family
well the father doesn't have to worry one bit because it all got caught on camera and the fact that his son is guilty of resisting arrest while committing a crime is rather evident.
Wow! Didn't expect this, because most parents side with their children…regardless. She's to be commended for her maturity.
Utmost respect to Mrs. Blake for not making excuses, but calling for an end to the senseless and wanton destruction. Her husband, however, previously spewed the "it be da white man fault" talk that underscores the irresponsibility of black men who refuse to acknowledge the rule-of-law, much less follow it or respect those tasked with upholding and enforcing it. Good to see at least one person in the family has decency and common sense. Thanks, Mrs.Blake for letting us hear from you.
Mr. Blake, what happened to your son had NOTHING to do with the color of his skin. He was subject to an ARREST WARRANT which the responding officers were trying to execute but your son resisted and fought the cops. He broke loose went to the front of his vehicle, which contained juveniles, and opened the driver side door and went into the vehicle, almost headfirst, with the officer screaming at him not to enter the vehicle. The officer directly behind your son saw something he did not like and fearing for his safety and the safety of the children, he used deadly force. We now know what he saw was a knife. I am sorry, but in this case the officer can claim deadly force was necessary. We do not do what is done in the movies, no warning shots, no wounding, DEADLY FORCE! You fire until the threat is gone. With the adrenalin pump it is not unusual to fire multiple rounds. This had nothing to do with race, it had to do with resisting arrest. It happens with any race and race was not a motivator. Had your son obeyed the police, 2 citizens would be alive today, and your son would not be wounded in a hospital. MAGA/KAG 2020
As I try to remind people, if the BLM rhetoric about police officers was correct about even 1% of the 686,665 full time officers (2018) there would be a lot more than the 9-12 unarmed Blacks shot by police every year.
Think about that number, 12 in 2008 out of 209 total Blacks killed out of 998 people killed. YES, IT IS TOO MANY, but many of those were caused by the victim of the shooting NOT LISTENING TO ARRESTING OFFICERS. Is it a shame? Yes, all good officers worry about shooting someone who isn't armed or even who is but is trying to commit suicide by cop. Luckily I never had to pull the trigger in all the times my gun was out of the holster.
Think about it, more people died because of the riots than by police shootings during the entire duration of the BLM-ANTIFA RIOTS this year.
For racism to be SYSTEMIC at least half of those police officers would have to be racist, that is 383,333. If there were that many racist cops out there we'd see a whole lot more dead Blacks. Even at 10% we'd still see a lot more dead Blacks. Stop assaulting the police and let's work to expose and remove the bad cops. Just like not all NFL or NBA players are thugs, not all police officers are bad cops. If we were to apply the same push as BLM is doing, the NFL, NBA, MLB, and all the rest of professional and college sports would be stopped.
Getting very weird when the writers of these articles more and more omit BLM's involvement especially when they are the main instigators and perpetrators of the domestic terrorism violence more so than ANTIFA whom seems to follow BLM's lead.
Take that Lemon, hahaha!
DISAGREE 100% by judging all whites by 1 or a few. What would you think if I judged all blacks by one that killed a white person which has been done. But I know there are many that are not that way so I don't judge all by one that is guilty.
I cannot begin to fathom what either parent is going through. It is unfortunate that SOME…not all…brown individuals feel they do NOT need to listen to police when given a direct order. BLM and Antifa are those to blame for the lawlessness happening in democrat held cities and states. I pray this young man will be able to deal with a life-changing reality, which he will not be able to escape. So sad all the way around. My heart goes out to the parents. This should be a wake-up call to others like Jacob. Don’t resist, don’t run, don’t disrespect law enforcement. The choices you make, all have consequences as Jacob has found out the hard way.
Blessed are the peace makers.
Julia Jackson is a stand-up LADY! The father needs to get a copy of and read "The Iron Triangle" (written by Vince Everett Ellison). Kudos to Julia. She knows what is going on. Blake's father will know too after he reads the book. Mr. Ellison can help you, Mr. Blake.
The T going into the P just about sums up their relationship.
His mother is a class woman his so called father is waiting for the lottery winnings
Big Mike obama could learn about life from her
UNLIKE her husband !
This lady is a example of high class
Ahhhh…..now we see where the son got his racist, ignorant, criminal lifestyle from……HIS FATHER!!! Dear Jacob's father…….YOU FAILED YOUR SON!! DO NOT blame 'w.hitey'!!! If YOU were a MAN, you would have RAISE A MAN!!
Too bad the son didnt turn out more like his mom instead of his worthless father.
i feel like what she said really came from her heart and God bless her and her family.
What did fauci say?
@Camdontlie There are many spreading info before vetting a source. This decision came from the CDC, not the president.
"On a call with reporters Wednesday, Giroir also flatly denied any political involvement in the decision. He said the new testing guidelines came from the CDC with no intervention or direction from President Donald Trump.
"Let me tell you, right up front that the new guidelines are a CDC action," Giroir said.
Intelligent. Communists and fascists don’t get along – remember a little historical event called WWII?
You liberals are the communists and don’t even know it??!!
So you don’t trust the best infections disease doctors America has to offer, you know, the ones in trump’s administration that he repeatedly ignores? Spare me your meaningless stats about Europe/“fascist” counties. Fascism and racism go hand and hand and your racist labeling it the “ChinaVirus” (like your draft dodging pal trump that doesn’t care about you (or any American other than himself) in the slightest) is racist – so I’d be careful labeling who is the “fascist” if I were you.
Ignoring Science? Lives are at stake? "Lives are at stake" is such a straw man.
There are plenty of countries doing it "your way," the LEFTist, oppressive, fascist way. How is Spain doing?
Countries with over 5 million people: Spain is worst (620 deaths per million), UK (610 deaths per million) is next worse. Both are basing their policies on the "science" you promote, which is the same science that says Cuomo is the best Governor in regards to handling the ChinaVirus (1696 deaths per million)
Spain, Peru (851 deaths per million), UK and Belgium (852 deaths per million) are all on excessive lock-down, making Gretchen Whitmer look sane. All have words death rates than the US.
Well, I tried to “get educated” at Trump U, but it went belly up before I had the chance to enroll 😞.
Totally agree with Ronnie Allen response to you. You liberals are crazy and unhinged because you guys know deep down you will lose!! Get educated!!
He wasn’t impeached by a Republican Congress…
Are you that stupid?? Obama didn’t want to fan the flames??? What kind of leader is that? But he and Biden sure did keep underground criminal fake Russia investigation no problem huh? Now exposed you should be watching the RNC and see the truth! Oh by the way what’s this Pelosi don’t think Biden should debate Trump? You agree with her ?
You nailed it!!! These communists have no clue!!
Is faux news MSM too or not? If they aren’t mainstream, I don’t know what is.
And btw, OrangeHammer = Russian bot/trump parrot.
And btw, OrangeHammer = Russian bot/trump parrot.
MSM = Fake news. They succeeded brainwashing you. TRUMP 2020. And btw, MSM = Enemy of the people.
“MSM MSM MSM” blablabla – the MSM are the people who broadcast your savior acting like a wannabe dictator. I see it with my own eyes, I don’t need “MSM” spin to form my opinion he is terrible. Of course, he likes to refer to the media as the “enemy of the people” and all of you just follow along with whatever he and faux news tells you what to think.
Durham report coming out. Your Hillary was Russia’s choice. We already know the truth, something you refuse to acknowledge because your MSM omits the truth. Trump 2020!
Yes, perhaps you could argue racism “increased” when Obama was in, only because racist people resented him being in office. And bending over and sucking up to foreign leaders? How about taking Putin’s word over US intelligence? Or exchanging “beautiful” letters with Kim Jong Un. You Russian bots are getting pretty sophisticated at imitating how an ignorant trump supporter would think.

Wow !!!!!!! Obama is the reason racist increased during his tenure as a so called president. He was the one that set racism back by 50 years. He and his wife used racism constantly when they should have shut their mouths. He was the one that bent over and kissed you know what to foreign leaders. He was the one that let ISIS get started. I could keep going, but I think you might get the drift of where I’m going with him. He couldn’t even make a speech without his telepromter in front of him. He and his wife(husband) had no class whatsoever.
For good reason. Obama had dignity and certainly didn’t fan the flames of latent racism in this country (many would disagree and say he did, simply because he is black) that, and he wasn’t dumb and incompetent, and could speak in complete sentences.

They bring up Obama, because no matter what Obama said, or what he did, it was NEVER criticized like President Trump has been, these last 3 1/2 years !
There is absolutely no comparing the COVID to H1N1, but vote for trump anyways – I hope you are proud, cause things are going just wonderful at the moment – on trump’s watch…
