cities jacob blake's name is now added to the long list of victims of police violence in america. and let's bring in our correspondent now stefan simons who is joining us from can notional wisconsin where jacob blake was shot i mean watching that video is is really difficult the public they're angry we know the authorities they have deployed the national guard to control the protest what is the situation where you are. right there right behind me here you see the national guard and local police protecting the courthouse here and can osha from protesters not many promises around here anymore this iteration is significantly calmed down but in the last hour or 2 you see this fire in the back there were dozens of those fires car fire as many cars on fire as exploding gas tanks even trucks on fire and now also buildings are torched and work towards the fire department had
8:05 am
a really really busy night we think we also saw on the event a fight law enforcement officers black no insignia no names no indifferent identification is that right so that led us to believe that also federal law enforcement officers are here and can osha not just state troopers and not just national guard and local police anyhow as i said people here are really really angry still again angry about what they think is and what happened 2 days ago another example of structural and systemic racism on display in police departments here and can osha now but across the united states what is the condition of jacob blake right now. sorry can you repeat this what is the condition of jacob lake who i mean we we've heard that he survived. lived this shooting but was in a critical condition. yes he was in critical condition he's now in stable condition
8:06 am

8:07 am
a simple and quick answer on this i don't. at the moment here this feels like a mini minneapolis. a low scale minneapolis as of now there's days and nights to come probably but has it changed in america a little bit there are police departments across the country who try to make really change a structural change in recruiting and who are they hiring as police officers in training in instruction of a police department are we there yet as america as a country and you can oh sure probably not at least people here think nowhere near of a real change stuff and simon is joining us from notion of wisconsin thanks to. the black lives matter movement just one of the issues that is dominating the race for president in the united states u.s. republicans meanwhile have formally back donald trump as their candidate for november's presidential election he will face the democrats candidate joe biden
