Hours after the incident, crowds flooded onto the streets of Wisconsin's main city to protest his killing. A police car, a gas station, a bank and numerous shops were set alight during the unrest.

Protesters and a number of opposition politicians have called for the square to be reopened to labour rallies. IMAGES
