Police used tear gas to quell a second night of protests in Kenosha, Wis., following the shooting of a Black man that touched off civil unrest similar to that in other cities across the country.
A crowd protesting the shooting outside the Kenosha County courthouse was overcome with tear gas as Gov. Tony Evers deployed 125 Guard members to the city in an effort to prevent the kind of violence and vandalism that occurred in the city on Sunday night.
The anger comes after the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was shot multiples times Sunday during an encounter with Kenosha police. Officers were initially called to a domestic dispute. At one point, Blake leaned into an SUV with his three children inside and an officer fired several shots, reports said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
