Police, Protesters, Clash for 2nd Night in Kenosha, Wisconsin Over Police
Shooting

VOA News

   Police used tear gas to subdue protesters in the city of Kenosha,
   Wisconsin Monday as people took to the streets for the second straight
   night after the shooting of a Black man by police on Sunday.

   Despite a dusk-to-dawn curfew, protesters gathered Monday night,
   confronting law enforcement officers in riot gear outside the county
   courthouse, blocks from where Jacob Blake was shot on Sunday in an
   encounter with police caught on video. Police countered protesters with
   tear gas, shortly after the 8:00 pm curfew took effect Monday.

   Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers called out the National Guard Monday to
   help keep the peace.

   In video posted online, Blake was seen walking to his vehicle and being
   followed by two police officers with their guns drawn. As he entered
   the driver's side of the car, he was shot in the back with at least
   seven gunshots heard on the recording. A family attorney said Blake's
   children were inside the car.
