There was a third straight night of violence in Kenosha and additional violence in Madison last evening. A fence was erected around the Kenosha County courthouse. Protestors tried to pull it down and fired fireworks at law enforcement who responded with tear gas and what were thought to be pepper balls. An attorney for Blake’s family said yesterday the 29-year-old was paralyzed due to the shooting. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating Blake’s shooting.
