A crowd of about 1,000 demonstrators have gathered outside a Wisconsin courthouse to denounce police violence a week after an officer shot 29-year-old black man Jacob Blake in the back.

The diverse group of protesters also chanted “seven bullets, seven days” — a reference to the number of times Mr Blake was shot last Sunday — as they marched toward the courthouse in Kenosha.
