There was another shooting of an unarmed black man. This time in Kenosha, Washington. I watched the video and it’s very intense. Would not recommend watching it if you are already burdened by these shootings.
A protest is starting in Kenosha. The condition of the man is still unknown. He was shot 7 times at point blank range, in front of his children https://twitter.com/kimshinecbs58/status/1297706459401195520?s=21

Some scenes from the aftermath of the shooting. It includes some images of blood, but not the footage of the shooting itself

The victim had reportedly just broken up a fight between two women. The officers had been called for a domestic incident https://twitter.com/pdtv3/status/1297706754726387712
A photo of the victim, whose name was Jacob Blake, shared with this local reporter (who is currently on the scene and will be providing updates). https://twitter.com/sarahthamerwisn/status/1297715131745525765
I won’t be sharing the video and recommend folks do the same. If you need to watch it, look up “Kenosha”. https://twitter.com/ant_givens/status/1297709732174716928
Protesters are breaking the windows of cop cars. Good for them. If there are any Wisconsin organizers who have requests for support from Michigan, let me know.

Fires have started at the scene in Kenosha. Law enforcement have sent in riot gear. After seeing a point-blank execution of an unarmed man today, I highly doubt that these officers have the capacity for operating calmly and peacefully https://twitter.com/lauren_linder/status/1297720275514073089
An officer was knocked out by a brick to the head. I heard police are retreating from the neighborhood https://twitter.com/BotchlaUS/status/1297727292324683776?s=20
It's always so baffling to see how huge the police presence is at these scenes. One of these ppl's neighbors was arbitrarily shot by cops, right in front of their eyes. Police represent an immediate threat to their safety. Resisting police presence is community defense
This is Kenosha Police's official statement https://twitter.com/KenoshaPolice/status/1297705233322258438?s=20
Wisconsin Governer Tony Evers has released a statement: https://twitter.com/rossacrosswi/status/1297737962386591744?s=20
Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes has released the best statement so far: https://twitter.com/TheOtherMandela/status/1297708183838953473?s=20
You might see people sharing the identity of the trigger-happy cop. I don't think that identity has been officially confirmed yet, so I am not sharing it so as to avoid potentially giving false information.
Another photo of Jacob Blake: https://twitter.com/KristenClarkeJD/status/1297734430052831233?s=20
It has been confirmed that Jacob Blake's kids were in the car, and that's why he was going to his car. He wanted to check in them. https://twitter.com/AttorneyCrump/status/1297741652568805377?s=20
Here's the Kenosha Police scanner. It went dark recently, but from other people's comments, it seems like officers have started gassing the protesters.

there's a dump truck on fire in front of the dinosaur museum, which is probably a Previously Unsaid Sentence in Human History https://twitter.com/highestwinds/status/1297748451950759938?s=20
there is, in fact, a dump truck on fire https://twitter.com/highestwinds/status/1297748854457196544?s=20

I'm hearing folks say that Jake Blake has died. Unsure if this is true. I don't want it to be.

Another dump truck is on fire.
