BREAKING: Three people have been shot, two of them fatally, in Wisconsin during protests being held over a Black man shot in the back by an officer. 9News

Some demonstrations devolved into unrest, including for a third night in Kenosha, where multiple gunshots could be heard in social media posts from at least one neighbourhood where residents and people carrying long guns and other weapons remained in the streets hours after they city's 8pm curfew.

"But my son matters. He's a human being and he matters," said Mr Blake's father, who is also named Jacob Blake. Police fired tear gas for a third night to disperse protesters who had gathered outside Kenosha's courthouse, where some shook a protective fence and threw water bottles and fireworks at officers lined up behind it.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers had called for calm, while also declaring a state of emergency under which he doubled the National Guard deployment in Kenosha from 125 to 250. Mr Blake's mother, Julia Jackson, said the damage in Kenosha does not reflect what her family wants and that, if her son could see it, he would be "very unpleased.""He said, 'I don't want to be a burden on you guys,'" Jackson said.Three of the younger Blake's sons — aged three, five and eight — were in the car at the time of the shooting, Crump said. It was the eight-year-old's birthday, he added.

He was defending property from looters. They first guy threw a Molotov at him, then he called police and as he was running to hand himself. In to police he was attacked by the rioters, with weapons and he defended himself, shooting two more. He then surrendered to police.

You spelled 'violent criminals' and 'riots' incorrectly.

Hey the white kid did it and they got him! Woohoo

TeII your boss George Soros, his money is going to support the anarchy as weII he knows.

This will keep going and get worse till the election. If Creepy Joe wins it will stop. If Trump wins it will only get worse.

How spells riots PROTESTS

Tell the true story of why this happened

Yeah thanks for the update Soros....but we aIready know you fund rabbIe Antifa protesters. Thanks for the update anyway. BTW, hhow are your dividends paying for ChanneI 9?

They would be alive if they stayed at home.

How about you tell the real story for once? The media is the real virus.

Im wondering if there is any irony in this

Some politically correct things are used by some invisible forces; The timing is doubted.

The word is “riots”.

There is a difference between a protest and a riot. I'm not sure if you people are aware. But we are. And so are the armed citizens protecting their town. The media has blood on it's hands for creating a false narrative and framing this lie as the truth. You killed two men today.

Protests... Shits on fire yo

Jacob Blake's dad says son left paralysed by police shootingJacob Blake – a black man shot multiple times by police in Wisconsin in the United States – is paralysed from the waist down and has 'eight holes' in his body, his father says It isn’t hard. Don’t commit crime. Don’t run from the police when they’re arresting you. The US is in a sh**hole right now but as long as the stock market keeps making new highs, the powers that be will just keep turning a blind eye. There is no regards for black lives whatsoever in the US, this is a country of slavery and extreme discrimination from the president down, ... it’s a hell hole there for black people really

Jacob Blake’s mother calls for calm on third day of protests over police shooting that left him paralysedThe mother of Jacob Blake, a black man shot repeatedly in the back by Wisconsin police, called for calm Tuesday as her lawyer said it would take a 'miracle' for her son to walk again. What did he do to attract police attention? In Australia, these things don't happen very often because no-one is allowed to leave the house. So obviously there is no chance of anyone getting shot. Well at least now he won’t be resisting arrest again if he can’t walk. Lesson learned
