http://newiprogressive.com/images/stories/S5/kenosha-shooting-082320-s5.png MADISON — Gov. Evers released the following statement Sunday night regarding the officer-involved shooting that critically injured a Black man in Kenosha.
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.” |
