Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, facing pressure to denounce ongoing rioting in Wisconsin, condemned violence sparked by the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake this week.

“What I saw on that video makes me sick,” Biden said in a videotaped post on social media. “Once again, a black man, Jacob Blake, has been shot by the police in broad daylight with the whole world watching.”
