Kenosha, WI is currently the site of protests against racial injustice and police killings of Black people. The protests are in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man who was shot in the back on August 23 while attempting to enter a car that contained his children.
The shooting of Blake by police officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white, was captured on video.
The protests in Kenosha mirror those that have continued to take place across the United States, and beyond, that began after George Floyd was killed by police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, MN on May 25.
