President Donald Trump and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Wednesday deployed almost 1,000 National Guard and over 200 federal law enforcement agents to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to help quell disturbances sparked by the Sunday shooting of Jacob Blake who was resisting police arrest.

It follows the fatal shooting of two people Tuesday and a large amount of property damage across the city as riots and demonstrations enter their fourth night.
