Rioters burned buildings and vehicles in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 24 as the deployment of National Guard members failed to keep the peace.

Hundreds of people who had gathered in the city over the Aug. 23 police shooting of Jacob Blake ignored a curfew and caused widespread destruction, even as Blake’s uncle urged demonstrators not to destroy their own city.
