Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth, Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser, City of Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian, and Major General Paul Knapp held a news conference on Monday to update the public on the Jacob Blake case and police brutality protests across the city.
Sheriff Beth said that close to 200 people were arrested last week.

The Kenosha Police Department, who was not at the press conference, released a press release on Sunday on Twitter detailing the arrests.

More than 20 firearms were taken, and three vehicles were towed, the department said.
The shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, has sparked protests in Wisconsin and across the country.
