Wisconsin unrest flares for third night

Kenosha | A black man shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was left paralysed and "fighting for his life", his family and lawyers said on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), hours before protesters and authorities clashed for a third night of civil unrest in the lakefront town.

Police in riot gear fired rubber bullets, tear gas and flash-bang rounds as they skirmished after dark with 300 to 400 demonstrators defying a dawn-to-dusk curfew outside a courthouse and adjacent park in downtown Kenosha.
