Additional Wisconsin National Guard members will be deployed in the state to respond to protests — sparked by the police shooting of a Black Kenosha man on Sunday — that have turned violent over the last two nights.
Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency related to protests. Under the order, the Guard will deploy an additional 125 members to support Kenosha County. Additional adjustments will be made to meet local needs, Evers said in a statement. The Guard deployed 125 members to Kenosha on Monday.
"Everyone should be able to exercise their fundamental right — whether a protester or member of the press — peacefully and safely. We cannot allow the cycle of systemic racism and injustice to continue," Evers said in a statement. "We also cannot continue going down this path of damage and destruction."
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Blake’s mother, Julia Jackson, said the damage in Kenosha does not reflect the feelings of her family and if her son could see it, he would be “very unpleased.”
Three of the younger Blake’s sons — aged 3, 5 and 8 — were in the car at the time of the shooting, Blake's attorney Ben Crump said. It was the 8-year-old’s birthday, Crump said. Crump added Blake has been left paralyzed following the shooting.
“They shot my son seven times, seven times, like he didn’t matter,” said Blake’s father, who is also named Jacob Blake. “But my son matters. He’s a human being and he matters.”
Evers said in a statement National Guard members will provide "support to local law enforcement and to protect critical infrastructure and cultural institutions necessary for the well-being of the community, and to provide support to first responders such as the Kenosha Fire Department."....

There are PLENTY of LEO in the county to put this down whenever they wish.
They just won’t.
Their hands are tied by all the Soros-backed DAs who let rioters skate but charge anyone who tries to put down the riots.
Because they are told to stand down by the mayors.
Does the news capitalize “White Kenosha Man” too?
People are being brainwashed every day by the MSM.
Tribalism is a favorite tool of the MSM.
It is my understanding the Kenosha County Board requested 1,500 National Guard members. Weasel Tony Gov Evers giving them 250.
Perhaps if people obeyed the law and didn't resist arrest, they wouldn't get shot. Maybe we can start with the systemic cycle of disobeying the law. It's a learned behavior from gangs which take over for missing fathers.
I agree, and if you do anything without your supervisor,
police chief, or mayor’s blessing, you’re on your own in
court.
Yep. He is saying all the right things, but will he let the NG do what is needed. IMHO, should have 500 NG in the city on patrol with the authority to disperse large groups that show signs of violence.
Yes. You hit it right out of the ball park.
There are four cops sitting in jail in Minneapolistan facing murder charges for arresting a guy who died of a fentanyl overdose.
To protect the white soy boys so that no more of them get deservedly shot.
Juan on The Five must not have seen the tape.. He said Blake was no where near the car when shot. He was actually halfway in the car reaching under the passenger seat.. which turns out to be a place he once had a gun when previously arrested. Jesse screwed up, too saying Blake was dead.
Viewers are much more informed.
“Guard Presence to increase”. That means they will still let them flood the streets with masks, shields, helmets, weapons, and will -maybe- impede them somewhat.
There are no peaceful protests. These are revolutionary socialists. Some have the protective cover role of “peaceful protester”. They protect bomb and rock throwers, clog streets, ride bikes slowly in front of cops, build barricades, etc.
Time to wipe these ba$tards out.
Question? Isn’t president Trump going to address this today on national tv? Tweeting isn’t cutting it!! He must go live on tv and address this before the mediapukes, the evil rats and Biden form the narrative!!! He must!! This is such a huge opportunity to speak face to face to the American who are freakin FED UP WITH THOSE EFFIN Liberal governors and mayors! The fault must fall on them and the mediapukes are doing everything to circle their wagons! The truth is not getting out!!
I didn’t see any protests. All I saw were people attempting to protect property from rioters and looters.
National Guard is worthless without proper ORDERS. Police CAN handle this if they were given the ORDERS!!!!Let’s cut the BS.
“They shot my son seven times, seven times, like he didn’t matter,” said Blake’s father, who is also named Jacob Blake. “But my son matters. He’s a human being and he matters.”

So why didn’t you bring up your son to STOP when cops tell him to stop, not behave in a way that causes him to have an outstanding arrest warrant for violent behavior and not carry around what looks like a knife?
Except the rules of engagement they will be given will prevent them from doing anything other than stand there and get pelted with rocks, bricks, bottles and fireworks. Just like the police.
