Summary

KENOSHA, Wisconsin – Residents in Kenosha were cleaning up Thursday after four nights of demonstrations after the shooting of Jacob Blake, and attorneys for Blake called for police to protect protesters from "outside vigilante forces." A seven-year veteran of the Kenosha Police Department, Rusten Sheskey, shot Blake in the back seven times on Sunday, the Wisconsin Department of Justice said in its first description of the shooting. The U.S. Department of Justice also confirmed it has opened a civil rights investigation into the shooting.The shooting has triggered widespread protests in Wisconsin and beyond, and NBA players decided in a Thursday morning meeting to try and keep playing inside the bubble one day after multiple professional sports teams and players refused to play games Wednesday, including the Milwaukee Bucks.Vice President Mike Pence was dropped as a commencement speaker at a Wisconsin college Thursday after he condemned what he said were looters and rioters causing chaos in cities across the United States during his address at the Republican National Convention.Here's what we know Thursday:Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer authorized the use of two Michigan National Guard companies at the request of Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, she said in a news  release Thursday evening. She can call the Guard back at any time, the release stated.Earlier in the day,  Evers announced National Guard troops from Arizona, Michigan and Alabama will add to the Wisconsin National Guard troops already in Kenosha.Attorneys representing Blake and his family released a statement calling for a timely and full investigation into Blake’s shooting, while also demanding authorities protect protesters from “outside vigilante forces” after two people were killed in Kenosha Tuesday night.Civil rights attorney Ben Crump and co-counsels Patrick Salvi and B’Ivory Lamarr also drew a sharp distinction in how authorities’ interaction with Blake, who was shot multiple times in close range after police were called to a domestic incident, and their response to Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old from Illinois who is accused of fatally shooting two people and wounding a third.“They shot him seven times in the back in front of his children,” the attorneys statement read, referring to Blake. "Last week, Joe Biden didn’t say one word about the violence and chaos engulfing cities across this country, so let me be clear: the violence must stop – whether in Minneapolis, Portland or Kenosha."Pence said he and Trump "always support the right of Americans to peaceful protest, but rioting and looting is not peaceful protest." He added that those that do engage in illegal activity will be "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."Tucker Carlson defends vigilante shooter:Fox News host says he 'had to maintain order when no one else would'Symone Sanders, a Biden campaign senior adviser, blasted Vice President Mike Pence for saying Wednesday that the country would fall into lawlessness under a Biden administration while violent protests are happening now.“With all due respect, Mr. Vice President, that violence is happening right now in Donald Trump’s America,” Sanders said.
