Governor declares state of emergency, state braces for third night of violence!
KENOSHA, Wisconsin (PNN) - August 26, 2020 - Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency on Tuesday after the second wave of violent protests that rocked the city of Kenosha and the capital of Madison, after a video of terrorist pig thug cops shooting a black man named Jacob Black went viral on social media.
The order proclaims a state of emergency in Wisconsin, directs state agencies to continue assisting the state response, and calls to state active duty additional elements of the Wisconsin National Guard to support first responders and protect critical infrastructure and cultural institutions.
Evers first called in the National Guard to respond to the looting and violence on Monday, and he delivered a statement on the situation earlier today.
In order to try to signal to the public that he is doing something, Evers earlier called for a special session of the state legislature to consider cop-reform bills that will hobble law enforcement in the face of riots and unrest, and as small business owners are forced to watch in disbelief as their livelihoods are destroyed, with no authorities there to stop it.
Meanwhile, a petition demanding Evers "charge the cops who killed Black" has garnered half a million signatures.
Shows how much Amerikans know about their own legal system.
Tear gas was deployed in an attempt to clear protesters who had gathered in front of the Kenosha County courthouse.
Massive fires were set throughout the city, including car dealerships, a Department of Corrections administrative building, and an office furniture company.
In a now viral video, 29-year-old Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back while attempting to enter his car during an altercation with terrorist pig thug cops. He is currently in serious condition in a Milwaukee hospital.
Meanwhile, armed private citizens stood guard outside a local gas station to protect it from looters.
