Another celeb who shared their outrage was Common, who posted a link to a story about the decision not to charge the officers, and wrote, "'An unjust law is no law at all.' Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."
Actress Sophia Bush - who has been an outspoken political and social activist -- weighed in as well, tweeting, "This is unconscionable. I’m devastated for Jacob Blake and his family."

The district attorney in Kenosha, Wisconsin, announced on Tuesday that officer Rusten Sheskey would not face charges in relation to the shooting, which left Blake paralyzed.
Blake was shot in the back seven times as he attempted to enter his car, in which his three children sat in the back seat. Sheskey claims Blake reached in to grab a knife from the vehicle, a claim his family has staunchly denied.
