US President Donald Trump has said, federal law enforcement will be sent to Wisconsin, following unrest sparked by the police shooting of a black man, BBC reports.
Jacob Blake, 29, was shot and injured by police on Sunday as he leaned into his car as his children watched.
We will NOT stand for looting, arson, violence, and lawlessness on American streets. My team just got off the phone with Governor Evers who agreed to accept federal assistance (Portland should do the same!)...
