REUTERS/Brendan McDermidShare this contentKENOSHA, Wisconsin: Peace returned to Kenosha, Wisconsin, for a night but shockwaves from the police shooting that paralyzed a Black man reverberated across the United States, further polarizing the presidential election campaign and bringing major sports to a halt.
Prior nights had seen an array of rifle-toting civilians such as the 17-year-old, pro-police advocate who was arrested on Wednesday and charged with homicide for a shooting outburst that killed two and wounded another. At the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, US Vice President Mike Pence described the Nov 3 election between President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden as a choice between"law and order" and lawlessness.National Basketball Association players led by the Milwaukee Bucks went on strike to protest racial injustice during the playoffs, putting the rest of the season in jeopardy. Milwaukee is about 40 miles north of Kenosha.
Blake survived despite injuries to his spine and multiple organs, and he may be permanently paralyzed, his family lawyers said.
