August 26th, 2020Via: USA Today:
Police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, said early Wednesday that two people had been shot and killed and a third injured as protests over police brutality and the shooting of Jacob Blake continue to rock the country.
For three nights, violent protests have torn through Kenosha after a police officer shot Blake from behind at close range while he was getting in a vehicle. Since then, buildings have been burned, windows smashed out and stores looted.
Clashes between protesters and law enforcement continued nearly three hours past curfew near Civic Center Park in Kenosha. About 250 law enforcement officers and 250 National Guard members were on hand Tuesday night to quell the recent unrest, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said.
