Trump announces deployment of more federal forces to crack down on protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin
The U-S president announces the deployment of additional federal forces to crack down on protesters angry at police brutality in the city of Kenosha in Wisconsin.
Donald Trump said he would not stand looting and lawlessness. His announcement comes after two people were killed and another wounded in the third night of protests. Police said a white teenager, who seemed to be a member of a militia group, took law into his hands and fired at protesters. A state of emergency is declared in Wisconsin and Kenosha is under a curfew, which will continue until at least Sunday as more protests are expected in the city. Demonstrators are demanding justice for Jacob Blake, a black man who was paralyzed when a white police officer shot him seven times in the back.
