Live updates: Jacob Blake shooting sparks protests

Milwaukee county executive: "Black people are not being recognized for being humans"Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley spoke out about the shooting of Jacob Blake in the nearby city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, saying “Blake’s wounds are a result of systemic racism.”

“At the end of the day, Black people are not being recognized for being humans,” Crowley told CNN’s John Berman. “The fact that we can't walk in the park, the fact that we can't barbecue in a park, the fact that we can't bird watch and continue to be harassed by individuals or by law enforcement, it is scary for us,” he said.

Crowley said the video of Blake was “startling” for him to see. Blake was shot as he tried to enter an SUV where“To know that his kids [were] also in the vehicle when he was shot lets you know that this was a true disregard of not only his life, but the traumatic experience his children even experienced,” he said.

Crowley said he wants to see police officers get de-escalation training and also have officers live in the communities where they work.

Stop watching CNN. They will lie to you. They are trying to divide America. Here is a video containing two different angles of the altercation with Jacob Blake Watch it and make your own decision.

Do your f’n job and call it what it is! Violent protests, destruction, looting and hurting the innocent!

Of course he wouldve been paralysed. He got multiple, point blank bullets in a part of his body where every nerve that innervates his body sits. Am surprised a major artery was not severed & killed him.EVIL KenoshaPolice That officer MUST be jailed for ATTEMPTED MURDER! cnnbrk

RIOTS*

Useless African Americans like ranting their frustrations on twitter and scream BlackLivesMatter in public as if they think the situation they face everyday is going to change. Then start petitions and dumb hashtags. Scrutinise me if you want but this is the damn truth.

omg look at my stock prediction. Thats two in a row.

BLM is a sham

Well of course they are. Anyone that gets shot now is going to cause a protest. For those of you who care to know - this is EXACTLY why you do NOT allow a suspect back in to his or her car. You DO NOT.

Is that what looting and destruction is protesting? Shame on CNN

RIOTERS

Shot in the back 4 times at point blank range...how the cops gonna explain that one !

THE TIMES [Drug cortelles]:

More peaceful protest from a Democrat. SMH!

You spelled riots wrong

How many of protestors from Kenosha & how many are paid

Rioting in Kenosha over Jacob Blake shooting, state of emergency curfew declaredOfficers were filmed firing several times into the victim's back as he attempted to get into an SUV. The guy didn't obey the cops and reached into his car for a weapon. If you are that stupid, you deserve to be shot. When are black parents going to teach their kids how to respond to an officer’s commands? Apparently never. And this is always how it will end.
