Anger over the shooting of a Black man by police spilled into the streets of Kenosha for a second night Monday [US time], with police again firing tear gas at hundreds of protesters who defied a curfew, threw bottles and shot fireworks at law enforcement guarding the courthouse.
The southeastern Wisconsin city became the nation's latest flashpoint in a summer of racial unrest after cellphone footage of police shooting Jacob Blake 'apparently in the back, as he leaned into his SUV while his three children sat in the vehicle' circulated widely on social media on Sunday. The 29-year-old was hospitalized in serious condition.
