Wisconsin governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency on Tuesday afternoon in response to riots in the city of Kenosha, which began after police shot an African American man while responding to a domestic violence call.
The number of National Guard troops in Kenosha will be doubled from 125 to 250 by Tuesday evening.
In an executive order, Evers called “to state active duty such additional elements of the Wisconsin National Guard as the Adjutant General deems necessary to support local law enforcement, protect critical infrastructure and cultural institutions, and provide support to first responders.”
The order stated that the guard would not be used to impede activities of peaceful protesters or members of the media.
Around 30 businesses in Kenosha, a city of 100,000, were destroyed in Monday night’s riots according to the Associated Press. Police have not released details on the Sunday shooting that sparked the riots, except that officers were responding to a domestic violence call. Jacob Blake, the man shot by police, will likely be paralyzed from the waist down, his father said Tuesday.
Residents have come into downtown Kenosha to help clean debris from the streets and salvage what they could fromt he wreckage.
“We didn’t do anything to anybody,” commented the owner of a furniture store burned down in the riots. “Why do we deserve it?”
