Rioting continued in Kenosha, Wisconsin Monday night following a police shooting incident on Sunday.

The civil unrest comes after Kenosha Police Department officers shot a Black man, Jacob Blake, during an incident Sunday. After a video of the shooting incident went viral on social media, rioters took to the streets in Kenosha County and began smashing windows and setting fires to local businesses.

In the first night of rioting, on Sunday, rioters set fire to a car dealership.

After the rioting Sunday, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers called on the Wisconsin National Guard to assist local authorities on Monday. KPD also declared a curfew, beginning at 8 p.m. Monday night.

Despite the guard deployment, rioting continued for a second night on Monday.

In one incident a police car was said to have been stolen by rioters. A Twitter user shared a video of the incident, “They stole a cop car in Kenosha.”
