In Wisconsin, the father of Jacob Blake said Thursday his son is being handcuffed to a hospital bed in Milwaukee, where he remains paralyzed from the waist down after he was shot seven times in the back on Sunday by a Kenosha police officer. Jacob Blake Sr. said it remains unclear what charges — if any — his son faces. Jacob Blake is African American; the white officer who shot him, Rusten Sheskey, has been placed on administrative leave and has not been fired or charged with a crime. Protesters marched through Kenosha for a fifth straight night Thursday to demand Sheskey’s arrest, as Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said Alabama, Arizona and Michigan were sending more National Guard troops to patrol the streets.
