we have not heard anything from the wisconsin department of justice at this point. one of the things, these type of cases, that is very frustrating. you know, we demand transparency in these circumstances. the family, the community, the state of wisconsin, and the country all deserve answers. the officers should be named. more importantly, those officers should be charged. you know, while we rightly support the nba in taking this strong stance today and boycotting all of the games, i believe that the law enforcement agencies across america, what they need to protect then is what i believe is america's favorite sport, which is football. they need to learn how to tackle. officers in this country need to learn how to tackle to restrain individuals instead of resorting to shooting. if that was the case we wouldn't be here today having this conversation and the nba would be playing games today. >> we spoke earlier and you told me that the milwaukee bucks, some of the players are actually reaching out to you. tell us about that. >> yes, wolf. the milwaukee bucks reached ou

department of justice and the fbi are also reviewing the case. >> reporter: so, we are awaiting a press conference in the wisconsin attorney general josh cole, but we did get communication from the department of justice here with new e did tails on what exactly they had found and how exactly they are looking at thing. for starters, i mentioned before that the officer that discharged his weapon here has been identified as rusten shefski. they say jacob blake admitted he a knife on his possession, that the department of criminal investigation agents recovered a knife from the driver side floorboard of the vehicle. they mention that the department of investigation is leading this assisted by state police and the fbi as well. and basically how this is going to work is they say the department of criminal investigation, again the wisconsin doj, and reviewing evidence that they are then going to turn over to a prosecutor. and it says that they aim to provide that incident within 30 days at this point. and of course this comes just days after we have seen the individual ye emerge of jacob blake being shot in the back seve

so the department investigating is through the department of justice here in wisconsin. so that is an agency with no direct connection with the kenosha police department and they are conducting that investigation in full. when they complete that investigation, it's turned over, again, by statute, by law, to the local district attorney's office. and that will be our office. and we have, by law, a very narrow task in the enormity of the big issues i talked about. we are asked to review that independently garnered evidence, and we are asked are there any crimes that a police officer has committed that can be proven to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt? so i need to let you know now, and the community know, that is the only question that the kenosha district attorney's office will answer. all of the bigger issues that are so important will not be issues that will be absolute, that will not be definitively decided by kenosha's district attorney's office. we will only decide whether any kenosha police officer is going to be charged with a crime, and that can only occur if we bel

after sheski and others responded to an incident last sunday evening according to the wisconsin department of justice. authorities say blake ignored police commands. this video shows blake in the moments before he was shot, appearing to strug areal with officers before getting uper an side. three officers of them with his grabbing blake's shirt as he opens the car door, and then the officer fired seven bullets in his back. blake had a warrant for his arrest, based on charges of third degree sexual assault. investigators say blake told the officers he had a knife. authorities say the knife was found on the floor inside his car. >> so there's a lot here that has to be fleshed out yet. the officers don't wear body-worn cameras. but the key part that i see of this, if he does have, if he's in possession of a knife, that raises the threat level up to the police officers at some point. so that has to be brought into account as well. >> reporter: blake the icu, paralyzed from the waist down. does he have anything he wants to convey or say? >> the first thing he did when he looked at me was cry and begin to

if the wisconsin department of justice can corroborate this, we see on the tape that jacob is walkingdoesn't have any weapons that we can see. he is not confronting the officers. he is trying to leave. the officers run up to him and apparently shoot him in the back. i guess, why would it take a month to investigate this? >> well, the reason you're even stumbling or even trying to ascertain it here is because the absurdity of the person who was trying to act as a good samaritan with three young children, his own sons i believe in the car, walking back to the driver's side and having seven shots ring out. no one can comprehend what would possibly be the motivation behind that. but even knowing that these are the facts as we know them today, there still has to be a thorough investigation on behalf of the officers and the families. and the reason for that is because you want to preserve whatever evidence, you want to make sure there's not going to be a blue wall of science. you're going to have to contend with the unions who are a very powerful force in being able to undermine the expedie
