Protests engulf US over black American murder

Foreign Desk Report

Wisconsin: Police fired tear gas when a protest demanding racial justice in the city of Kenosha in Wisconsin turned violent, as rage builds once more in the US at the shooting of a black man by a white officer.
Clashes erupted for a second night after video circulated showing 29-year-old Jacob Blake being shot and wounded in the back multiple times by police Sunday with his three children watching. Shortly after a curfew imposed on Kenosha County began at 8 pm (0100 GMT Tuesday), local police dressed in crowd control gear began pushing protesters back from outside a county courthouse using tear gas, media said.
Later, some protesters smashed streetlights and set fire to a nearby building.
