Wisconsin resident Jacob Blake has filed a lawsuit against a police officer that shot and paralyzed him.

Blake was shot by a white police officer in August 2020 prompting protests and unrest in Kenosha.

Footage from August 2020 shows peaceful protesters in Kenosha defy an imposed curfew to take part in the fourth day of demonstrations in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

Multiple peaceful protesters marched across the city as leaders gave impassioned speeches to the crowds.

Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by Kenosha Police Department and the video that subsequently circulated online sparked mass outrage and protests.

The third night of protests on August 25 saw two protesters fatally shot and another seriously wounded when an armed civilian opened fire after the crowd attempted to disarm him.
