The son of former NFL star Herschel Walker commented on the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake by saying he doesn’t feel bad for the Wisconsin man because he should have followed the law.
“If kindergartners can follow directions from teachers, then grown men can follow directions from police officers,” Christian Walker tweeted this week. “I don’t feel bad, follow the law.”

Jacob Blake was shot several times by police on Sunday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after ignoring police commands and reaching into his car. Blake, who is reportedly paralyzed from the incident, later admitted to having a knife in his possession, according to officials.
The shooting immediately sparked riots throughout Kenosha from those who believed the incident was unjustified.
Walker, who was a champion cheerleader, has commented several times on the Jacob Blake shooting, saying in another Twitter post that Blake was a “disgusting career criminal.”
“Jacob Blake was a disgusting career criminal, with a horribly violent past. Black supremacists are defending him solely because of his skin color,” Walker tweeted. “Kyle Rittenhouse acted in complete self-defense and is being charged with murder. STOP KNEELING TO THE BLM NUTCASES.”

Walker also posted a video on Twitter that has been seen over 140,000 times, labeling Black Lives Matter as a “terrorist group” and again criticizing Blake for not following police commands.
Jacob Blake was a criminal who refused to follow directions from our law enforcement. Listen to our police and you won’t be consequenced.

Christian’s father Herschel, who openly supports President Trump and recently spoke at the Republican National Convention, has also spoken out against Black Lives Matter in the past, saying in July that the group doesn’t “speak for me.”
“I was watching some kids, African American and Caucasian kids, playing the other day, and I started thinking about their future,” said in a video posted on his Twitter account. “And then, I listened to a BLM protester who was speaking for the black people, and I said, ‘Wait a minute. … He don’t speak for me. He don’t speak for a lot of other people that I know.'”
