Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers on Sunday asked President Trump to “reconsider” his upcoming visit to Kenosha as the city continues to be roiled by protests after Jacob Blake, a Black man, was shot several times in the back by police last weekend. Mr. Trump’s visit will be one week after two people were shot and killed at a protest over Blake’s shooting.

President Donald Trump is to visit Kenosha, Wis., where unrest has surged over the past week in the wake of the police shooting of an unarmed African American man, Jacob Blake.

During a Saturday roundtable discussion in Orange, Texas, in which state officials assessed the storm damage from Hurricane Laura, a reporter asked the president whether he would also visit Kenosha.

 

“Probably so,” Trump responded. Following Trump’s comment, White House spokesperson Judd Deere confirmed the president will visit Kenosha on Tuesday to meet with law enforcement and survey damage from recent violence, according to a pool report.

Blake, 29, was shot in the back seven times by a white police officer Sunday as he attempted to enter his own car. Blake survived the shooting but family members have said he is now paralyzed.

More than 1,000 National Guard soldiers have been on standby at the Kenosha protests to prevent a further escalation of violence, Reuters reported. . . .

Trump has repeatedly used protests as a campaign talking point, contrasting a “law and order message” with Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

On Thursday, Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris said the police officer who shot Blake should be charged with a crime.

The president also used the roundtable question to criticize officials in Portland, Ore., a city that has seen months of protests over systemic racism. He said Portland’s mayor “doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.”

Trump’s comments echoed sentiments from his recent tweets on outbreaks of unrest in cities nationwide.

“Portland, with a very ungifted mayor, should request help from the Federal Government. If lives are endangered, we’re going in!” Trump tweeted earlier Saturday.

Later Saturday, Trump in a tweet called for the arrest of protesters who confronted Sen. Rand Paul and other attendees of the final night of the Republican National Convention in the streets around the White House after the event.

“The thugs who accosted Senator @RandPaul and his wonderful wife, Kelly, together with those who made threats to many other people who had just attended the Republican National Convention at the White House, must be sought out and immediately arrested. Well documented evidence!” he wrote.

During the Saturday roundtable, Trump deferred on a question on the fatal shooting of two Kenosha protesters Tuesday, in which a 17-year-old from Illinois has been charged, saying the case is under investigation. . . .

The Prez chooses to do his job as Prez and the coddlers of lawlessness in Wisconsin don’t want him to do so. I have asked our God Almighty to remove them and those who give free reign to the lawless. Our founding Fathers gave a lawful structure for dealing with this. Put it to work. And continue to pray for peace and safety in our land, and for courage for the rule of law.

Please make sure that you have all of the correct facts as you report. J. Blake was not entering his own car. There is a viral video out there showing the shooting but you don’t have the facts of what happened on the other side of the car. Do not judge before all the facts have been presented. May God five us the wisdom to navigate these times and love for one another as he loved us.

Lead President Trump not into temptation, but deliver him from the evil one (Matt 6:13). Grant him wisdom and discernment, humility and the Fear of The Lord. Gird his loins, shod his feet, plate his breast, helm his head and give him the sword of The Spirit, grace, supplication, intercession and prophecy. We plead the blood of Jesus over him and his decisions, unity in his cabinet, abundance of counsel for his campaign managers, accurate reporting, diminished influence on the false media and victory in the elections, in Jesus’ Name

    prayer requests - the pattern to these "shootings"
    August 31, 2020

    WA, Portland, chicago, MN, etc – the elected officials, the city councils are acting in unison, with
    orders from the top to refuse police assistance to cities. refusal to assist the police is a code law that
    they are breaking and can be taken to a legal case.

for billy graham chaplains:

franklin graham posted a post about WI and if you can, please forward it to him because the information in his post is incorrect and could lead chrisitians to pray wrongly.

kyle was acting in self defense – the conventional news has ommitted facts and details. the video of him,
in self defense. one other person, the news leaves out, had a handgun. and jacob blake. the mayor
refuses assistance for police and residences, and a 17 year old is left to protect the town. the mayor,
in circumstances, like this, has to step down or step aside for a lt. official who can restore order, peace and the law because he is ineffienct to do so.

prayer requests for Kyle, he is 17 years old, and should not be tried as an adult. an 18 year old is legally an adult in united states, it is unlegal for him to be tried as an adult.
Kyle is a good young man, pray for a just trial for Kyle, and his family.

Then that man physically assaults police officers, goes for a knife—and is somehow subsequently worshipped as a victim of injustice.

coventional news and social media omits these details.
