Wisconsin governor promises police reforms after Jacob Blake shooting

• Tony Evers calls special session of state legislature
• Lawmakers had delayed ordering body cameras for years

In the wake of protests over the shooting of an unarmed black man by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the state governor, Tony Evers, has promised to move forward with reforms to curb law enforcement misconduct.

Evers has demanded state legislators meet on 31 August in a special session to consider a set of nine police reform bills which were floated more than two months ago. The proposals - which followed the 25 May killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police - include banning chokeholds and limiting other use-of-force methods.
