Anti-racism protesters rally in Kenosha as Trump plans visitLast Sunday, Jacob Blake Jr. was shot by an officer in Kenosha sparking fresh racial tensions across the country. The black man was shot in the back seven times in front of three of his children.

At least one of the bullets went through his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down - possibly permanently, the lawyers said Tuesday.

On Saturday, Trump announced plans to visit the violence-rocked city next week as about 1,000 people joined a mile-long marched there, chanting “Black Lives Matter” and “No Justice, No Peace.”

“We are tired,” said Darius Johnson, 27, of Milwaukee. “There is no excuse for this kind of racism. It could have been any one of us, my brother, my sister. It needs to stop.”
