DISPATCHES FROM THE MEMORY HOLE: This is why Jacob Blake had a warrant out for his arrest:

The cops involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake — which touched off a fresh wave of angry, anti-police sentiment across the country — were attempting to arrest him for violating a restraining order stemming from an alleged sexual assault, The Post has learned.

Blake, 29, was forbidden from going to the Kenosha home of his alleged victim from the May 3 incident, and police were dispatched Sunday following a 911 call saying he was there. The officers were aware he had an open warrant, according to dispatch records, though it’s not clear if they knew the specific allegations of violence.

Not that the left needed much of an excuse to burn Kenosha down: Kenosha police find helmets, gas masks, more in out-of-state vehicles; arrest 9.
