[VIDEOS] Wisconsin city BURNS after video shows police shooting man in the back – [UPDATED]

by The Right Scoop

Last night someone posted a video onto social media showing a man being shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. And, as happens far to frequently nowadays, the city of Kenosha was burned and looted in the name of Black Lives Matters.

First, here’s the video. It shows police shooting a man during a confrontation, so watch at your own risk:

If you watch the video, you’ll quickly ascertain that there seems to be more going on than what Kristen Clarke claimed in her tweet. While it’s hard to say exactly what was happening from the video, it looks like police were warning this man not to do something that he seemed dead set on doing.

Here’s more from the NY Post:

The footage circulating on social media shows two cops with weapons drawn trailing a man on Sunday afternoon as he walks to a gray van and opens the driver’s door to get inside.

One of the officers grabs him by the back of his tank top and appears to shoot him at close range. A fusillade can be heard, followed by a car horn, and bystanders screaming.

The Kenosha Police Department said in a statement that cops were responding to a domestic incident around 5:10 p.m. when they were “involved in an officer-involved shooting.”

The gunshot victim — identified as 29-year-old Jacob Blake — was airlifted to Froedtert Hospital and was listed in serious condition, cops said.

Notice the man didn’t die, at least during the confrontation. He was listed as being in serious condition. But some commenting on the video on social media just assumed the man was killed by police.

The Post continues…

A family member told Milwaukee’s WTMJ-TV that Blake’s children were in the vehicle when cops shot their dad.

At least half a dozen witnesses told the Kenosha News that the man had been trying to break up a fight between two women. They said cops tased him and that they heard seven gunshots ring out.

A large crowd gathered at the scene of the shooting later Sunday, with some people climbing atop squad cars and breaking the windows, local reports said.

The Wisconsin Governor is already treating this like an injustice:

 
As I said, the city of Kenosha was burned and looted after the video of the shooting went viral last night:

 
A police officer appeared to be knocked down after being hit in the head with what those in the video were calling a brick:

I’m sure there are more videos, but you get the idea. We’ll let you know more about the shooting incident once we have it.

UPDATE: Turns out an entire car lot was set afire from the mob last night:
