Governor Tony Evers deployed Wisconsin’s National Guard after police shot a Black man in Kenosha, trying to quell more violence in a summer of nationwide protests against racial injustice. Evers ordered about 125 troops to the city south of Milwaukee on Monday night, giving them orders to be “guarding infrastructure and making sure our firefighters and others involved are protected.” The ACLU of Wisconsin opposed the Guard deployment, calling it “militarized policing.” Kenosha County authorities imposed a curfew from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. Tuesday. Meanwhile, Republicans kicked off the first day of the Republican National Convention arguing that Democrats had failed cities at the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement. President Donald Trump has made criticism of protests against police shootings a centerpiece of his campaign.
In Wisconsin, 29-year-old Jacob Blake was hospitalized in serious condition. He was shot at close range by police, apparently in the back, as he leaned into his SUV while his three children sat in the vehicle. A video of the incident has gone viral. Blake was taken to a Milwaukee hospital where he’s in serious condition. His family has retained attorney Ben Crump, who also represents the family of George Floyd. Blake’s shooting set off another wave of demonstrations, as far away as Portland, Oregon, which has had nearly nonstop nights of protests since Floyd’s death. Protesters in Wisconsin set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed with officers in riot gear. source

" The officer "didn't ask questions; he just grabbed" Blake, Marie said, and tried to use a Taser to stun him, which did not work." Washingtonpost
