Protesters ended up torching many black-owned businesses when they went on a rampage over the weekend in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after police shot Jacob Blake, who is black.
"Arsonists set buildings ablaze and torched much of the Black business district in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a second night of unrest sparked by the wounding of a Black man shot in the back by police as his three young sons looked on," Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Fires destroyed much of the Black business district, Bennett said, adding that the instigators she saw were white.

Armed business owners took to the streets on Tuesday night to protect their businesses.
Some residents were harassed by the crowd for protecting a local business.
Reuters reported that "Social media images showed both white and Black agitators. Black men swinging baseball bats broke traffic signals and street lamps. White and Black men bashed a row of cars. One white man riding a skateboard doused a government truck with an accelerant and set it on fire. Heavily armed white civilians stood guard in front of businesses."
