Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries.

While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.

We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country—lives like those of George Floyd, of Breonna Taylor, Tony Robinson, Dontre Hamilton, Ernest Lacy, and Sylville Smith.

And we stand against excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites.

I have said all along that although we must offer our empathy, equally important is our action. In the coming days, we will demand just that of elected officials in our state who have failed to recognize the racism in our state and our country for far too long.

This is purely political tripe, with no balance at all.
Evers says we don't have all the details. Actually, we have few details. That doesn't stop him from making judgments about what happened.
Evers declares Wisconsin to be a racist state and America to be a racist country.
Will Evers show any concern for the police officer in Kenosha attacked by the rioters? Where is his statement showing support for police in Wisconsin?
Whenever there's a case of radical Islamic terrorism, there is a rush to warn people against blaming all Muslims. There's great concern for the safety of innocent, nonviolent, law-abiding Muslims.
Where's the concern for the safety of our police officers? In addition to showing concern for victims of inappropriate police action, Evers should also condemn the rioters attacking the police.
The is a horrible situation and Evers isn't doing anything to make it better.
