KENOSHA, August 26 (Online Int’l): Police in the US city of Kenosha in Wisconsin resorted to tear gas shelling when a demonstration demanding racial justice turned violent after tensions increased in over the shooting of a black man by a white officer.
Clashes erupted for a second night after video circulated showing 29-year-old Jacob Blake being shot and wounded in the back multiple times by police Sunday with his three children watching.
Shortly after a curfew imposed on Kenosha County began at 8:00 pm (0100 GMT Tuesday), local police dressed in crowd control gear began pushing protesters back from outside a county courthouse using tear gas.
They fired after the demonstrators began throwing water bottles at the Kenosha County Sheriff’s officers. Some protesters then launched fireworks and more bottles at officers.
