Protests Continue in Kenosha, Wisconsin Over Jacob Blake's Shooting by Cops

Aren't we sick and tired of watching the news and hearing about another unarmed black person being shot by cops? With all of the protests that have happened over the past few months about social injustice and that very same issue, you would think some of these cops would get it. Granted, a lot of police departments have decided to basically school some of their police on better tactics, but what's the issue with others. Jacob Blake is the recent black man who was shot, in the back 7 times by a cop. An eye witness who was recording said there was a fight between two women, when Jacob tried to break it up. But when cops got there, there was a scuffle with them and Jacob and the cops could be heard telling him to put the knife down, even though the witness said there was no knife, according to CBS News. What happens next is what has people fired up. Jacob walked away from the police to his car when a cop grabbed him by the back of his shirt and fired 7 shots at his back, where his kids were sitting in the car to witness this. Jacob was in critical condition but is now stable. However, the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin isn't so stable. People are pissed and are protesting. But things turned a bit violent for the second night of protesting, with police firing tear gas at hundreds of protesters who defied a curfew, threw bottles and shot fireworks at law enforcement guarding the courthouse. There were even several fires set. Jacob's family say they don't mind the protests, but want people to stay safe and keep it peaceful.
