Brandon Congratulates Social Justice Champions Milwaukee Bucks for Protesting Jacob Blake Shooting

  • Last week, President Joe Biden praised the Milwaukee Bucks for taking a firm political stance after the outrage that kicked off following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 23, 2020. 
  • At the time of the police encounter, Blake was armed with a knife and did not comply with police orders. He tried to enter a vehicle while his two children were seated in the back, which compelled the police officer to take action.
  • The Bucks are the first NBA team to visit the White House since 2016.
