KENOSHA (Aug 30): About 1,000 people joined a mile-long march in Kenosha, Wisconsin yesterday, chanting "Black lives matter" and "No justice, no peace" as US President Donald Trump announced plans to visit the violence-rocked city this week. Trump will visit Kenosha on Tuesday to meet law-enforcement officials and assess damage in the city, a White House official told reporters yesterday. In Kenosha yesterday, people painted messages of unity on boards protecting storefronts after many businesses were burned to the ground in arson attacks and vandalism. By last Friday, more than 1,000 National Guard soldiers were on the ground in Kenosha, many from out of state. The handcuffs were removed last Friday and officers guarding Blake stood down after the warrant was vacated, according to his attorney, Pat Cafferty.
