[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] As U.S. President Donald Trump visited Kenosha, Wisconsin, where violent protests erupted following a police shooting of a Black man, another case of a Black person being shot by law enforcement occurred in Los Angeles, raising concerns about the spread of protests.

According to U.S. media including the AP on the 1st (local time), a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles fatally shot a Black man.

The victim, Dijon Kizzee, was stopped for a traffic violation while riding a bicycle and got into an argument with LA County sheriffs. After a firearm was found among the items Kizzee dropped while fleeing, it is understood that the police fired their guns.

After the shooting incident, up to 100 people gathered at the scene to hold protests demanding justice.

This incident occurred just one week after Jacob Blake, a Black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was shot four times in the lower body by a white police officer who fired seven shots, resulting in paralysis.

Coincidentally, on the same day, President Trump visited Kenosha to inspect the damage caused by violent protests and emphasized law and order while speaking with law enforcement officers.

At the site of the damage, President Trump stated, "Something that should not have happened happened," and promised support for recovery efforts. He also announced $1 million in funding support for Kenosha’s law enforcement agencies.

During talks with local officials in Kenosha, President Trump praised the police and the National Guard for stabilizing the protest situation.
