As the protests continued, the police imposed a citywide curfew until 7 a.m. local time, encouraging businesses to close down"due to numerous arm robberies and shots-fired calls."
Demonstrators protest outside of Milwaukee's Wisconsin Center on August 20, the final day of the Democratic National Convention.In a statement posted to Twitter, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers wrote,"While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.
Evers continued,"Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries. We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country—lives like those of George Floyd, of Breonna Taylor, Tony Robinson, Dontre Hamilton, Ernest Lacy, and Sylville Smith.
The governor added,"I have said all along that although we must offer our empathy, equally important is our action. In the coming days, we will demand just that of elected officials in our state who have failed to recognize the racism in our state and our country for far too long."
When you give people authority without holding them accountable, they can do anything.
LOL, burn it all down!
All black olives matter.
Could have been a bullet in the back. The cop should show gratitude
