An unarmed black man was yesterday shot in the back seven times by a white police officer in front of his children after Wisconsin police were called to a domestic dispute.

Rioting and looting erupted in the wake of the shooting as the County of Kenosha declared a state of emergency, and a curfew has been put into effect by authorities until 7am on Monday.

Jacob Blake, 29, was rushed to hospital following the shooting in Kenosha that prompted neighbours and crowds to gather and confront officers at the scene on Sunday night. Early Monday, family members posted that Blake was in a stable condition at the ICU in Froedtert Hospital, Milwaukee.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers issued a statement denouncing 'excessive use of force' by police. As video of the shooting quickly went viral, protesters took to the streets of Kenosha, where police are on high alert.

Video obtained from TMX.News shows a large crowd numbering hundreds of protesters gathered outside a Kenosha police station chanting 'Black Lives Matter' and other slogans denouncing law enforcement.

Demonstrators set fire to vehicles and smashed police cruiser windows as they faced off with police, who set off tear gas canisters to try to disperse the crowd.

The shooting happened at around 5pm as officers were responding to a 'domestic incident,' the Kenosha Police Department said in a news release.

In the video, three officers could be seen shouting and pointing their weapons at Blake, who walked around the front of an SUV parked on the street.

As Blake opened the driver's side door and leaned inside, one officer grabbed his shirt from behind and then fired into the vehicle.

At least seven shots could be heard, though it was unclear if more than one officer fired.

Blake's three children were inside the SUV and watched as their father was gunned down, the family's attorney, Ben Crump, confirmed.

Several witnesses said that Blake tried to break up a fight between two women outside a nearby home, according to Kenosha News.

Before resorting to gunfire, the police attempted to subdue Blake with a Taser, to no avail, it was reported.

Benjamin Crump shared video of the incident on his Twitter feed, and confirmed today he is now representing Blake's family, and will 'demand answers' from police.

'We all watched the horrific video of Jacob Blake being shot in the back several times by Kenosha Police. Even worse, his three sons witnessed their father collapse after being riddled with bullets.

'Their irresponsible, reckless and inhumane actions nearly cost the life of a man who was simply trying to do the right thing by intervening in a domestic incident. It's a miracle he's alive.'

Crump is the attorney who represents the family of George Floyd, the 46-year-old black man who died in the custody of Minneapolis police in late May.

Floyd's death ignited massive nationwide protests and rioting as millions took to the streets over the course of several weeks to demand the police officers responsible be tried and convicted.

Following the shooting, neighbors could be seen gathering in the streets and hurling comments at police. Some could be heard chanting, 'No justice, no peace.'

Several protesters jumped on top of police squad cars and smashed windows.

One video circulating on social media shows a Kenosha police officer collapse to the pavement after witnesses said he was struck with a brick.

Another video shows a row of protesters walking toward a line of police officers clad in riot gear as simmering tensions threaten to escalate the situation.

A dump truck that was parked at an intersection to prevent traffic from moving toward the police department was set on fire.

Several curious onlookers got close to the burning truck and started taking pictures, but others warned them that the fire could lead to an explosion and warned them to back away.

At 11:05pm, police formed a cordon around the front doors of the police station and then fired tear gas canisters in an effort to disperse a large crowd that had gathered there.

'No justice, no peace!' the crowd was heard chanting.


Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers released a statement on Sunday denouncing 'excessive use of force' by police

A man could be seen breaking the window of a patrol car parked along the street.

Some police officers were positioned on the roof of the station as people continued toward the building.

Outside the station, protesters faced off with officers who were dressed in riot gear that included plastic facemasks and held plastic shields and batons that they occasionally used to push people back.

A truck that was parked outside the courthouse in Kenosha was also set on fire.

Kenosha Police referred all questions to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, which did not immediately respond to messages seeking to confirm details of the video.

The Kenosha Sheriff´s Department and Wisconsin State Patrol were requested at the scene so another law enforcement agency could take over, police said in the news release.

The city of Kenosha is located on Lake Michigan, about 40 miles south of Milwaukee.

A Kenosha Police Department dispatcher referred calls by The Associated Press to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the agency that will be investigating the shooting.

A message left with DOJ was not immediately returned.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers released a statement regarding the shooting late Sunday evening.

'Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin,' the statement read.

'Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries.

He was airlifted to a hospital in Milwaukee, where he was listed in critical condition

'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.'

The governor continued: '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.

'And we stand against excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites.'

As Kenosha, Wisconsin, smoldered after a second night of arson and riots, a new video emerged to show Jacob Blake wrestling with police officers on Sunday moments before he was shot.

Kenosha exploded in fire and violence Sunday night after Blake, 29, was shot multiple times by police. He underwent surgery Sunday and was in stable condition Monday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

An initial video of the shooting showed Blake disregarding the commands of police officers who had their weapons drawn as he walked away from them and moved toward the driver’s door of an SUV. Officers followed Blake, who opened the door to the vehicle and leaned into it.

With the door blocking a clear view of exactly what happened, the video captured the sound of Blake being shot several times.

However, as happens so often with video evidence, there was another angle.

Jacob Blake had a knife when he was shot in the back seven times by Wisconsin police leaving him paralyzed, the Wisconsin Attorney General revealed.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice provided some of the first details surrounding the police shooting on Wednesday, revealing Blake had a knife and the name of the officer who opened fire.

That knife was later recovered from the driver's side floorboard of his SUV, but it's unclear if Blake had it on him when he was talking to police.

When will the black man learn to obey simple instructions?

I'm pretty sure you've disobeyed some certain people before, did they try to take your life for it?

Disobeying 'certain people' is different from disobeying armed police or soldiers, we have to be wise and live.

Blacks always spoil their case
by the looting spree they engage in
at the slightest opportunity!!

OLAADEGBU:

so because you're an armed officer, you can shoot anyone who disobeys you? even when the situation doesn't warrant it? He was shot "7" times, "in the back", "in front of his kids". Let that marinate in.

Of what use is the 'rights' of not getting shot in 'front ones kids' to a dead man? Haven't you heard of the saying 'Obey before complaining'?

Kenosha Police Union Reveal Key Details In Jacob Blake Shooting To Correct 'Misleading Narrative'

The Kenosha Professional Police Association released a statement Friday contradicting key details of the Jacob Blake shooting as purported by the media.

Communicating through attorney Brendan Matthews, the police union released a timeline of the Blake incident to correct what it called a "wholly inaccurate" depiction by the media and Wisconsin Department of Justice.

"The purely fictional depiction of events coming from those without direct knowledge of what actually occurred is incredibly harmful, and provides no benefit to anyone whatsoever, other than to perpetuate a misleading narrative," the statement explained.

I believe it is because they are conscious of the fact that civilians or criminals might be concealing a deadly weapon, any funny move could be deadly.
