The shooting of a black man at point-blank range by local police in Wisconsin has led to more rioting.
As the video makes its way around the internet, we can expect rioting on the scale we saw after the George Floyd death.
Right now, there is only a small clip available on social media, showing the last seconds leading to the shooting.

What we do know is the man shot by police, Jacob Blake, was reportedly wanted for third-degree sexual assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse.
Blake also had charges filed against him in 2015 for among other things, pulling a gun at a local bar.
After Blake was shot, rioters took to the streets in Wisconsin, targeting a local auto dealership, burning the business’ inventory to the ground…

You can read the full report on Fox News. You can see the report on Blake’s previous arrest on the Racine County Eye.
