历史重演？美一非裔男子遭警察枪击或瘫痪，拜登：枪击刺穿了这个国家的灵魂！
三个月前，美国非裔男子弗洛伊德在警察执法过程中遭遇“锁喉”致死。之后，BLM（Black Lives Matter）运动席卷了整个美国。
弗洛伊德之死直接推动了美国警察系统改革，作为事发点的明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市甚至宣布撤销警察局。
8月23日下午5时，美国威斯康星州基诺沙市的一名非裔美国男子遭警察从背后开枪射击。
A black man shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was left paralyzed and "fighting for his life," his family and lawyers said on Tuesday.
从社交媒体上流传的视频片段可以看到，一名非裔男子在一辆灰色的SUV附近走动，三名警察紧跟在他身后，其中一名警察用枪指着该男子的后背。在该男子打开车门准备坐进驾驶座时，靠他最近的那名警察抓住他的背心并开火，视频中可以听到至少7声枪响。而在警察开枪时，这名非裔男子坐在车里的三个孩子，分别为3岁、5岁、8岁，目睹了全过程。
这名男子之后被证实为29岁的雅各布·布莱克，枪击虽未致其死亡但至少一颗子弹击中了他的脊柱。目前，布莱克仍处于重伤状态在医院重症监护室接受治疗，他的律师表示，他想重新走路需要“奇迹发生”。
基诺沙警方在事件发生后表示，当地时间8月23日下午5点11分左右，警方接到“家庭事件”报案后赶到了案发地附近。但他们并未具体解释是什么引发了枪击，甚至到底是谁呼叫了警方、在视频开始前发生了什么也不清楚。
威斯康辛州司法部在今天早上的一份声明中表示，参与枪击事件的警察已被行政休假。声明称，该州刑事调查部门正在对这起枪击事件展开调查，并将争取“在30天内向检察官提供事件报告”。
Jacob Blake, 29, a father of six, was struck from behind at point-blank range in a hail of bullets fired on Sunday by police who were following him with guns drawn as he walked away from officers to his car and opened a door to the vehicle.
Three of his young sons inside the automobile – aged three, five and eight – witnessed their father being gunned down, according to civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the Blake's.
Crump and another lawyer for the Blake family, Patrick Salvi II, said bullets shattered some of Blake's vertebrae, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down – possibly permanently. He also suffered gunshot wounds to his stomach and gastrointestinal tract, requiring surgeons to remove most of his colon and small intestine, and sustained damage to his kidney, liver and one of his arms, they said.
Video captured by a neighbor shows Blake walking toward the driver's side door of his SUV, away from two officers who were pointing guns at his back. After he opens the door and leans into the car, seven shots ring out, with one of the officers tugging at his shirt.
The shooting is under investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, which has not released any details. Kenosha police have referred all questions to the state investigators.

毫不意外地，这一事件在威斯康星州引发了大规模抗议示威。
23日晚，数百人汇聚在基诺沙市的公共安全大楼前喊着口号与警方对峙，警方随后发射了催泪弹，驱散人群。
而后基诺沙政府宣布24日晚8时开始实施宵禁令，但抗议者并未遵守，而是上街游行。数小时后，原本和平的示威活动演变成暴力活动，示威者们在城市里纵火。当地政府称，当晚发生了超过30起纵火事件。
25日，事态升级。威斯康辛州州长宣布该州进入紧急状态，并将把当地国民警卫人数增加到250人。
Police in riot gear skirmished after dark with about 200 demonstrators defying a dawn-to-dusk curfew outside a courthouse and an adjacent park in the downtown area of Kenosha, a city of about 100,000 people about 40 miles (about 64 kilometers) south of Milwaukee.
Several military-style armored patrol vehicles were seen maneuvering around the county courthouse, firing tear gas at the crowd, many of whom hurled water bottles, firecrackers and other objects back at police.
The disturbances came hours after Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency and vowed to deploy additional National Guard troops in a bid to restore order in the town, while the mother of the man who was shot, Jacob Blake Jr, publicly appealed for calm.
事件发生后，布莱克的家人曾透过媒体向大众发声。
社交媒体上，人们也纷纷站出来声援布莱克。
著名非裔人权运动家马丁·路德·金的女儿柏妮丝·金周日晚间发推表示，“我们不应该再看到一段黑人被警察残忍对待或枪杀的视频，这显然是一种过度的、无根据的暴力行为。” ↓↓↓
NBA著名球星勒布朗·詹姆斯也在推特上疾呼：“又一位非裔被当成了靶子，这是过于错误和悲伤的！” ↓↓↓
代理乔治·弗洛伊德案件的美国民权律师本杰明·克伦普分享了案件视频，并称：“三个孩子在车里目睹警察向他们的父亲开枪，他们的心灵将永远受到创伤。” ↓↓↓
民主党总统候选人乔·拜登24日发声，称涉事警察“必须承担责任”，要求对此事立即进行“全面、透明的调查”。
“今天早晨，整个国家醒来，却再次陷入悲伤和愤怒之中——又一名黑人美国人成为过度暴力的受害者”拜登说，“这些枪击刺穿了这个国家的灵魂。”
至于共和党候选人，美国现任总统唐纳德·特朗普，则使用了一种更为间接的方式表态——他在推特上呼吁俄勒冈州长和波特兰市长，立刻调集国民警卫队，制止所谓的“和平示威”，并呼吁人们“回到现实”。
