Gov. Evers visited Kenosha for the first time Thursday since unrest unfolded after the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake.

A video director for the conservative website The Daily Caller tweeted Wednesday that he had conducted a video interview with the suspected gunman before the shooting and posted a clip in which the armed young man, standing in front of a boarded-up building, said “our job is to protect this business.”

Police said this began with a citizen tip that the vehicles planned to meet in a remote lot near State Highway 50 and Green Bay Road.

According to a news release from the ACLU, Sheriff Beth’s deputies "not only fraternized with white supremacist counter-protesters on Tuesday but allowed the shooter to leave as people yelled that he was the shooter."

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris plans a Thursday speech condemning President Donald Trump for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and she'll give it just hours before Trump is set to accept renomination for a second term.

“Jacob did nothing to provoke police. He was a great father and was only intending to get his children out of a volatile situation. Witnesses confirm that he was not in possession of a knife and didn’t threaten officers in any way," Benjamin Crump said in a statement Thursday on the shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha police.

One hundred and thirty-two people were arrested during the unrest and looting in Minneapolis overnight, according to officials.

Any National Guard troops from other states mobilized to support Wisconsin would do so in a "State Active Duty status – not in a federal status," Evers said. 

The states of Wisconsin and Minnesota both reaffirmed their commitment to expansive COVID-19 testing this week as the CDC revised its policies to recommend that fewer people receive tests.

After three nights of chaos in Kenosha, the fourth night of protests appeared to be much calmer.

Groups of people looted multiple stores in downtown Minneapolis. This happened after a homicide suspect took his own life on Nicollet Mall, according to Minneapolis police.

A new breed of citizen journalism, social media streams offer a real-time look at protests and, sometimes, crimes and chaos.

Two people died and one person was injured as shots were fired late Tuesday in Kenosha during the third night of unrest in Wisconsin following the shooting of a Black man by police, Kenosha police said.

Officials asked anyone with firsthand information regarding the shooting of Blake to contact FBI Milwaukee at 414-276-4684. 

Officials with the Wisconsin Department of Justice said Wednesday Jacob Blake "admitted that he had a knife in his possession" Sunday evening when he was shot seven times by Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey.

Games between Milwaukee and Orlando, Houston and Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland.

The Milwaukee Bucks have decided to boycott Game 5 of their series against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.

"They have this intrinsic connection where (District Attorney Michael) Graveley makes cover for the police officers," said Michael Bell, Sr., whose son was killed by Kenosha police in 2004.

The Brewers and Reds have reportedly agreed to not play on Wednesday.
