the national guard is deploying tonight
after protests broke out over video
showing police shooting a black man
jacob blake in the back multiple times
gabe gutierrez has the story and a
warning it is disturbing
tonight there's growing outrage over
this video showing at least two police
officers in kenosha wisconsin with their
guns drawn
following 29 year old jacob blake as he
walks around the front of a gray suv
we've paused the video after he opens
the door with his back to an officer
at least seven shots can be heard
why were you shooting my child like that
so many times
police say they were originally
responding to a domestic incident it's
unclear what occurred right before
the recording and the video only
captures a few seconds before the
shooting
rayshawn white was the eyewitness who
recorded it he asked us not to show his
face to protect his privacy but told us
that he saw blake trying to break up an
argument
between two women at the scene i was
shocked i had no idea they was going to
shoot him
he says he heard the officer tell blake
drop the knife but he didn't see a knife
blake's fiancee laquisha booker was also
there she says their children were in
the car
that man literally just grabbed him by
his shirt
and looked the other way and was just
shooting them
with the kids in the back screaming
overnight protests over the shooting
here
escalated the violence spread across
parts of downtown kenosha
this car dealership torched
wisconsin's department of justice is
investigating saying the officers are
fully cooperating
and are now on administrative leave the
kenosha police union asked that you
withhold prejudgment
about the incident and please let the
process take place
but the state's lieutenant governor
already had strong words
this was not an accident this wasn't bad
police work this
felt like some sort of vendetta being
taken out
on a member of our community businesses
here are boarded up
nervous about another potentially
violent night
it was horrifying to sit there and
see it and know you couldn't do anything
you know
we literally put our entire lives into
this business
blake is now out of surgery and in
serious but stable condition
wisconsin's national guard is being
deployed to help protect this city
