laurellynnleake: Support for Kenosha, WI protestors against police! On 8/23/2020, police officers shot an unarmed Black man named Jacob Blake in the back, 7 times, in close range, and in front of his children. As of 5AM 8/24/20, Jacob Blake has been reported by relatives to be alive, out of ICU and surgery, but still fighting for his life. Kenosha Police have called a citywide curfew, and are reportedly attacking protestors with chemical weapons and using unmarked vehicles (thread with police scanner activity here). Governor Tony Evers deployed the National Guard against protestors while claiming to stand against excessive force and escalation against Black people in his state. The Milwaukee Freedom Fund made this statement on on FB around midnight, extending their support to all Kenosha protestors and citing reports Blake had been stopping a fight from escalating.
