Dwindling numbers of anti-racism protesters milled about the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, late on Thursday as a tense calm prevailed for a second night following a wave of deadly unrest that began when a Black man was shot in the back by a white cop.
A crowd of no more than 100 demonstrators defied a dusk-to-dawn curfew as they assembled around a park near a courthouse that has been the hub of nightly skirmishes between protesters and police following Sunday's shooting, which left Jacob Blake Jr, 29, paralyzed.
Police on Thursday kept a low profile, and a beefed-up contingent of Wisconsin National Guard troops activated earlier by Governor Tony Evers to help restore order remained largely out of sight.
