Crowds gathered at the scene, and some demonstrators set fires and threw bricks and Molotov cocktails at police, leading authorities to close public buildings in the area.Earlier, however, tensions boiled over when Mayor John Antaramian sought to address scores of protesters outside the city’s public safety building when a planned news conference was moved inside minutes before it was to have started.
Drowned out by the shouting, jeering crowd, the mayor ducked back into the building, and demonstrators tried to push their way through the entrance behind him, scuffling with police who struggled to block their way as the door broke from its hinges.Moments later 15 to 20 officers in riot gear poured out of the building dousing the protesters with pepper spray as the crowd dispersed.
Mr Evers, a Democract, condemned police for what he labeled “excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites,” and called for a special legislative session to take up a package of bills aimed at bolstering police accountability and curbing dangerous confrontations.
Pete Deates, president of the city’s police union, the Kenosha Professional Police Association, said Mr Evers was “wholly irresponsible,” accusing the governor of rushing to judgment and urging the public to wait until all the facts were known.

Black people have got to learn to do what the police say. That is all.
can never have a civilized society with blacks
Good call. More guns will probably solve this problem
