In a video circulating on social media, an officer is seen firing his gun at Blake as he leans into a vehicle.
Later on Sunday, protesters gathered outside the Kenosha County Public Safety Building, where the police department is located. The scene echoed the months of protests against police brutality and racial injustice that have taken place across the U.S. in recent months over the killings by police of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black people.
Protesters faced off against police in riot gear outside the station. Police deployed tear gas at one point, according to TMJ4 reporter Laurn Linder."Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin," Evers said on Twitter Sunday night."Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries.
"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. "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."
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.
