About 1000 people have joined a mile-long march in Kenosha, Wisconsin, chanting"Black Lives Matter" and"No justice, no peace" as US President Donald Trump announced plans to visit the violence-rocked city next week.
"If we tear it up we have nothing," he told a park gathering in support of his son, Jacob Blake Jr."Stop it. Show 'em for one night we don't have to tear up nothing." Trump will visit Kenosha on Tuesday to meet law enforcement officials and assess damage in the city, a White House official said. Kenosha officials have been criticised for videos showing law enforcement agents giving him water before the burst of violence and acting chummy with armed militia men in the streets.
