The uncle of Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old shot seven times in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has urged protestors to “let your faith lead the way” as they took to the streets for the second night.
Governor Tony Evers has called the National Guard in response to the protests, which saw buildings and cars torched for the second night in a row, despite a curfew of 8pm in the town. Evers said in a press release that the National Guard’s job is “guarding infrastructure and making sure our firefighters and others involved are protected”.
