All the police officers involved in the near-fatal shooting of an unarmed blackman, Jacob Blake in the US state of Wisconsin have been suspended as an investigation opens.

Already demonstrations have broken out in the county where the incident occurred, with public buildings set ablaze late on Sunday.

Video has emerged of police being called to a domestic disturbance incident at a house, and as a man walked from the same house, walking towards his car, some white police officers followed him with guns pointed.

As he opened his car door, he was shot seven tines in the back.

Blake is said to be in critical condition in hospital.

The latest incident involving white police officers and black men cones just months after the United States was rocked by violent protests following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, in nearby state of Minnesota.
