Officers deployed tear gas in effort to disperse hundreds of people who took to the streets following police shooting in Kenosha after video appeared to show officers shoot at a Black man seven times as he leaned into a vehicle.

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.KENOSHA, Wis. -- Officers deployed tear gas early Monday in an effort to disperse hundreds of people who took to the streets following a police shooting in Kenosha that also drew a harsh rebuke from the governor after a video posted on social media appeared to show officers shoot at a Black man’s back seven times as he leaned into a vehicle.

By late Sunday, fires had broken out along some streets, appearing to damage large trucks, as crowds faced off with law enforcement. Officers in riot gear stood in lines and SWAT vehicles remained on the streets near city buildings despite the declaration of a curfew until 7 a.m. Tear gas was used to disperse groups of people, according to reporters at the scene.

Gov. Tony Evers on Sunday night released a statement condemning the shooting of the man whom he identified as Jacob Blake, saying that “while we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.”

Following the shooting, social media posts showed neighbors gathering in the surrounding streets and hurling comments at police. Some could be heard chanting “no justice, no peace” while others appeared to throw objects at officers and damage police vehicles.

This is bullshit we have cops who shot an unarmed citizen in the back and they get protected. People need to demand these guys get turned over if not problems will happen again as they did in the Floyd shooting

How many on this list have you seen, in just this response, to Americans? In the last few months? Over the last 5 years? Please feel free to share often.

Shooting of thug by law enforcement was justified !

The video did not “appear to show him being shot in the back” the video showed them shooting him in the back 7 times. Do better

ABC acting Irresponsible AGAIN, fanning the flames, without all the facts!!!!!! Disney

Say is name “Cannon Hinnant”. 5 year old boy shot in head by neighbor for nothing!

Just another good old super spreader peaceful protest. 👮‍♂️🗽🇺🇸

If our lives don't mean nothing than destroy all this shit.

Leaned into a vehicle? He was a fleeing felon attempting to operate a deadly weapon.

What happened to Wisconsin? What kinda shit do they put in their cheese?

Thats the way. Start a riot before you know the facts. Becoming a pattern..🙄

Shoot at? Or Shot? Who the fuck is writing these bullshit captions and headlines at ABC

٧ طلقات ؟؟؟ لماذا ؟؟؟؟ هل تقتل فيل ؟؟ طبقو الشريعة الإسلامية تسلمو ويسلم المجتمع من العنصرية والقتل .

All this because the suspect did not comply... Just comply an you will be fine!

police make America great again

support polices

Where you at cnnbrk CNN donlemon Kaepernick7 JusticeForJacobBlake BlackLivesMatter LauraAJarrett EarlyStart

Its time to draw a line against these rioters and pick a side

Bad cops every last one of them no running to aid of black family who watched their father gunned down in this video

George HW Bush spoke of a kindler gentler nation. He was truly motivated by Christian principle. Trump has distorted it. Held a bible up as a prop. Shit all over principle. Even his sister says so. A liar. A racist. A loudmouth. laurawbush CNN

Fake news

Pt. 3 With all of these Black Lives Matters riots, why isn't someone from our government working as a liaison with them? There must be a way to work with them to get the end result they deserve without destroying businesses and vehicles and lives. There has to be a better way.

It is with great sadness that the level of police brutality in the United States is going unchecked . There seems to be no rule of law and no reforms in place to cater for these not only brutal but lethal actions by trump. We demand immediate reforms or sanctions usembassyharare

Let’s be sure to give ppl like Sylvia61 an opportunity to explain why rioting and lawlessness is ok. Would she allow her grandkids to destroy everything if they disagreed w rules in her house? Prob not but that’s what they’ll learn from this righteous anger turned manipulation!

They FAKE NEWSdon’t tell you two weeks ago an officer was shot and suspect still hasn’t been caught! backtheblue

Why can’t they mind their own business without making any troubles. Now the folks are furious. They even don’t know what they are doing. There are going to be unruly mobs.

More chaos due to police stupidity. God what is happening to America? No wonder people are moving to Canada. The leadership in this country is racist. Lacks empathy. Dishonest. Fascist. And linked to an evil Putin government. CNN

“Appeared to shoot at”? Could have just gone with “murdered”

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers: 'We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country.'

We need to get these fools back to work. Way too much time on their hands...

It was way worse than this. They lit an entire car dealership on fire and almost the church next door. Both were black owned with BLM signs displayed prominently 😂

“Took to the streets” is such a misrepresentation of animals who threw fireworks at police, looted businesses, and committed arson.
