Jacob Blake family has spoken out after he was shot several times by police in Wisconin, saying he might not walk again.

"If I killed someone I'd be convicted and regarded as a murderer. I think it should be the same for the police."

"I want my kids to see how change happens and am here so nothing like this ever happens to them," Michelle said. Mr Evers said he would authorise an increase in the Wisconsin National Guard’s presence from more than 100 members to 250. Wisconsin's Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes said the shooting of Blake reflected a pattern of police violence nationwide against African Americans.
