Dozens of shops and businesses in Kenosha, Wisconsin, have barricades and boarded windows, one year after Jacob Blake was shot by a local police officer.
Messages of solidarity could be seen sprayed on boards, in footage recorded on Wednesday.
On August 25, 2020, Kenosha police officer Rustin Sheskey repeatedly shot Jacob Blake as he entered his car and leaned down while his young children were in the back seat. Blake was paralysed from the waist down, and is wheelchair bound, after being shot seven times.
Footage of the incident provoked civil unrest in the small lakefront city, with protesters setting many businesses alight.
Sheskey kept his position, and Kenosha police will be required to wear body cameras from the end of the year.
