According to reports from the Kenosha County Attorney's Office, three officers involved in the Blake shooting incident have been suspended and are under internal investigation. The victim himself is accused of third-degree sexual assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse.
The riots began a few hours after the shooting of the unarmed Blake and continue to this day.
