-24 Aug 2020Reporter



Warning: there are distressing images in this report.

Protests broke out overnight in the US state of Wisconsin – after video emerged showing police officers apparently shooting a Black man several times in the back.

Police in Kenosha said they had been responding to a call about a domestic dispute, while the man is now in a serious condition in hospital.

Riot police used tear gas to disperse groups of protestors – as cars were set alight and windows of city buildings were smashed.
