"They saw a cop shoot their father": Video shows Wis. police shoot Black dad in back multiple times

Two police officers in Wisconsin were placed on administrative leave after video showed a Black father being shot multiple times in the back at close range as he tried to enter a vehicle.

Protests broke out in Kenosha, Wis., a witness recorded the moment police officers followed a man identified by officials as 29-year-old Jacob Blake to a SUV after responding to a domestic incident. Neighbors said Blake was trying to break up a fight between two women, according to the Kenosha News.

One of the officers can be seen on the video grabbing Blake by the shirt as he tries to access the vehicle. Seven shots can be heard on the recording, though it remains unclear how many officers fired their weapons. Witnesses told the Kenosha News that officers used a Taser on Blake prior to the shooting.

Blake remains in serious condition after being airlifted to a Milwaukee hospital about 40 miles away, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Ben Crump, an attorney for Blake's family, tweeted that Blake's three sons were in the car when he was shot.

"They saw a cop shoot their father," he wrote. "They will be traumatized forever. We cannot let officers violate their duty to PROTECT us. Our kids deserve better!!"
