Police fire tear gas at Wisconsin protesters after Jacob Blake shooting

Authorities fired tear gas and rubber bullets at demonstrators protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Monday night, according to videos of the incident shared by a reporter from CBS affiliate WDJT. The clash comes just a day after a police officer shot the 29-year-old Blake, who is Black, at least seven times in the back as he opened the door of a parked vehicle.

WDJT reported that there were tense standoffs between police and protesters outside of the Kenosha County Courthouse both before and after the city's curfew went into effect at 8 p.
