Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers immediately moved to criticize law enforcement officials late on Sunday night after a black man was shot in Kenosha, a city that is only a couple of miles north of the Illinois-Wisconsin border. Evers said in the statement that not all the details of the case were known yet.
“Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries,” Evers said in a statement. “While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.”
