Jacob Blake's uncle in restraint chair during arrest
Justin Blake claims injury by restraint chair
Justin Blake says he's still dealing with pain after his arrest and subsequent hold in a restraint chair at the Kenosha County Jail.
KENOSHA, Wis. - Justin Blake says he's still dealing with pain after his arrest and subsequent hold in a restraint chair at the Kenosha County Jail. It happened after Blake and others were protesting Officer Rusten Sheskey's return to work late last month.
Blake says he was just exercising his constitutional rights, refusing to cooperate with deputies inside the jail. Blake says he was within his rights to remain silent and wanted to send a message. That led to his hold in a restraint chair for around seven hours, blocking doors outside the Kenosha County Public Safety Building.
