'Let's make sure justice is done.'
Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at a campaign event.US President Donald Trump was in Kenosha on Tuesday and pledged support for law enforcement and local businesses hit by looting.
Mr Trump has been hoping for months to shift the election battle against Mr Biden - from a verdict on his widely panned handling of the coronavirus pandemic to what he sees as far more comfortable territory of law and order.

He’s back in his basement now - no schedule!Democrats and police reform advocates see Kenosha as a symbol of institutional racism.
Mr Trump, however, comes with a different priority: countering what he has repeatedly described as the"anarchy" in Democratic-led cities.
