The Democratic governor of Wisconsin has already called in the National Guard after one night of rioting:
Here’s more:
MYFOX8 – Wisconsin’s governor summoned the National Guard for fear of another round of violent protests Monday after the police shooting of a Black man under murky circumstances turned Kenosha into the nation’s latest flashpoint city in a summer of racial unrest.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said 125 members of the National Guard would be in Kenosha by night with responsibility for “guarding infrastructure and making sure our firefighters and others involved are protected.” County authorities also announced an 8 p.m. curfew.
The move came after protesters set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed with officers in riot gear Sunday night over the wounding of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, who was hospitalized in serious condition.
I’m glad to see that Evers also established a curfew as well as calling in the National Guard. I don’t know if 125 is enough, but it’s a good start.
I’m sure there will be more protests tonight, but hopefully between the police and the National Guard they can keep the peace. Now if Oregon would do the same thing, maybe Portland would once again be a decent place to live.
