This has been a hard week for Wisconsin — Jacob Blake, a Black man, was shot seven times in the back by a Kenosha police officer; Protesters took to the streets to express outrage; Some set fires and destroyed buildings; Police used tear gas, pepper spray and military vehicles; And an armed teen shot three protesters, killing two of them. And the crisis did nothing to bridge deep divisions among elected officials, spurring emotional responses, harsh criticism and intense debate about race, law enforcement and policy. Hopefully the WPR Politics Podcast team can help you make sense of it.
