Answer:

The shooting of Jacob Blake spurred the protests in the city of Kenosha.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob Blake was a twenty-nine year old African American young man, who was shot dead by Kenosha police on 23rd August, 2020. The police shot Blake seven times in the back by Kenosha's police officers.

This killing has spurred protests in the city of Kenosha to demand justice for Jacob Blake. A case against Blake was filed on 911 by a woman who alleged that Blake had taken her car keys, after he was not permitted to enter her premises.

The shooting of Jacob Blake has ignited protests, property damage, marches on the streets of the city of Kenosha.
