Schalk's First Tactic and Jacob Blake's Story

We must approach Blake's story with a focus on excessive violence by the police as the source of harm, not make Blake's disability the source of harm. Schalk suggests we do this by acknowledging that Blake's physical injuries are not the only harm caused by Officer Sheskey's violence. There were nearly twenty eyewitnesses to the shooting, along with Blake's children and the millions of people who watched online who were exposed to psychological harm and possible psychiatric disability as a result of witnessing Officer Sheskey's violence.
