Is that the reasoning of the DA?Since Blake is now crippled his rape spree is over with. I’d call that a good.I agree, I’m just looking for accountability one way or another. A man was shot 7 times. A good/good doesn’t add upDo you find it odd that no charges on either side will be pressed? Somebody got shot 7 times. Either it was a legit shoot meaning they stopped somebody who was committing a felony and Blake should be charged, or they over reacted to somebody who wasn’t a threat warranting a death sentence and should be held accountable. Wouldn't you agree?WILL RIOTS BREAK OUT >...if police officer is acquitted ?......(as he certainly should be)
Would anybody here protest it (peaceful or otherwise) ?
The city of Kenosha, Wisconsin is preparing for protests when a charging decision comes in the police shooting of Jacob Blake. A decision is expected imminently. Safety efforts announced by local officials include designated demonstration spaces, road closures, a curfew, protective fencing, and limitations on city bus routes. The National Guard is preparing for any unrest.
Mr Blake, who is Black, was shot in the back seven times on 23 August, after walking away from a white police officer and two others who were trying to arrest him.
Officer Rusten Sheskey opened fire after Mr Blake opened an SUV’s driver-side door and leaned into the vehicle. Blake was left paralyzed from the waist down.

You're conflating accountability with criminality. Your post doesn't address all of the possibilities. If the actions by the law enforcement officer, while acting within the course and scope of his duties, involved the use of excessive force, then it almost always ends up in federal court as a civil action, not a criminal prosecution. There is an entire cottage industry dedicated to prosecuting/defending excessive force cases (brought under the 5th and 14th Amendment) in federal court. I'm confident that's where this will end up as well. You'd be surprised how many cases like this are litigated every year.
