<p>As previously mentioned, during an attempt to arrest Jacob, Rusten Sheskey deployed a taser. Once that attempt failed, Vincent Arenas made a second attempt as he deployed his taser. That is when the viral video showed Sheskey grabbing and shooting Jacob 7 times in his back. The other identified officer that was at the scene was Brittany Meronek.</p>
<p>Rusten Sheskey has been an officer with the Kenosha Police Department for 7 years, Vincent Arenas joined in February 2019, and Brittany Meronek joined in January of this year.</p>
<p>You may recall that Jacob was shot seven times by a Kenosha police officer as he was entering his car, after reportedly breaking up a fight. It’s also reported that he is now paralyzed from the waist down, according to his father.</p>
