Deadly police shooting sparks violent protests in Milwaukee

The windows of at least two squad cars were smashed, and one officer sitting inside one of the vehicles was hit in the head with a brick.

Lovely. We've seen this before. . . thugs attacking police officers, vandalizing their vehicles which are paid for by working taxpayers.

All because their thug buddy, who obviously lived a life of full-time crime, was armed and didn't comply with officers' lawful commands.

“Black people of Milwaukee are tired. They are tired of living under this oppression.”

Lovely. More finger pointing. It's NOT oppression. They should simply stop committing crime. Don't do the crime if can't do the time, but at least wear the shoe.

Sounds like the police were just proving Darwin right in this case. Probably not the best idea cruising about with a stolen shotgun.

The outrage over police violence has given rise to the Black Lives Matter movement and touched off a national debate over the race and policing in the United States.

It's false outrage. Micheal Brown was the primary aggressor in the Freguson shooting. BLM should be outraged that he went for officer Wilson's gun as he actively assaulted Wilson.

BLM should be outraged that the felon gunned down by Baton Rouge PD was armed. Outrage at the Chicago car thief who was gunned down and this guy too -armed with a shotgun and attempting to flee.

The thug life's are at it again. I miss the days when the black community leaders had a real reason to have intelligent, wise, and legitimate protests. But the good civil rights movement era has long since passed. It seems that the more modern "leaders" don't have that sense of fighting for what's right. When someone doing something illegal being taken down by law enforcement is seen as "prejudice" they've obviously gone down the road of ig'nance.

If anyone looks online for some of Chris Rocks old comedy skits he talks about how we in the black community feel about idiots(the more non-PC term I'm not going to put up here but rappers like to use it a lot) in the black community.

Got no pity for fools. Stolen firearm... and then fleeing from police during traffic stop, and obviously a lengthy criminal history to boot! Chris Rock calls them for what we seem 'em as, "Dumb ASS **"

While those idiots are sitting in prison, or ending up in a casket.... I'm going to comfortably go to work and earn some nice money legitimately, while not having to worry about law enforcement breathing down my back because I'm black... because well, I don't live the thug life.

“This is a warning cry,” Milwaukee Alderman Khalif Rainey said. “Black people of Milwaukee are tired. They are tired of living under this oppression.”

You better clarifiy who is oppressing whom Mr. Rainey and that will clarify wether you are a smart person or an idiot.

“This is a warning cry,” Milwaukee Alderman Khalif Rainey said. “Black people of Milwaukee are tired. They are tired of living under this oppression.”

Yup. Based on his middle name (prob Muslim), the warning cry is a clear threat, nothing else. . . . When cops' authority are questioned nationwide in open-shut cases, where criminals (any color) committed a crime while armed, something's wrong.

Rack-up another victory for the Milwaukee District Attorney's Office & men in Blue. Minus 1 for BLM~~ Uhh-hmm.

It is going to be interesting to see what Trump has to say about the situation when he visits Milwaukee on Tuesday.

lizz: It is going to be interesting to see what Trump has to say about the situation when he visits Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Or even the Imam and his helper executed in New York this morning that police are calling a hate crime. I know you Trump supporters are big on errr, heh, personal responsibility....

Can't wait.

There could be some credence to the charge that thousands of voters were dropped from the rolls, or found their party registrations changed without their permission, in the Democratic primaries in New York, Arizona, and California, and that those fiascoes come to affect almost exclusively Bernie Sanders supporters. But he ultimately lost by millions of votes.

How is it possible to make any real comments on this when the story lacks details? Also violence is at a historic low in the US.

One of the people interviewed in the aftermath summed up the problem very neatly, yet not in a way that he, the guy being interviewed would consider, which I believe is one of the roots of all these problems; he stated '(paraphrasing here)

"This is going to continue. As long as the "rich" people continue to look the other way and not spend their money here......"

I wonder just how many people can see what is wrong with this way of thinking?

Because if you've lived in America and know it well, you'd quickly learn that violent, criminal, inner-city thugs hardly ever comply with Law Enforcement. Especially if they're armed and caught red-handed in the commission of a crime.

Then come the violent protesters, burning and looting. Milwaukee Gov. had to deploy the National Guard to restore (much needed) order.

Khalif Rainey is an idiot. Here's proof; https://youtu.be/T9B251wi9NI.

They have not been deployed, they are on standby and ready to move in, 125 soldiers, if needed and requested for crowd control.

He said 125 soldiers will be activated to assist the Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. Our intention is not to have then come over immediately to be on the streets, but available if the request is made," Walker said.

The executive order of the gov. They are available if and when needed. Fast move by the gov here and probably the right one as well. Milwaukee has become one of the most dangerous cities in the US and the violence there does not seem to have an end in site.

Summer makes it worse too, I highly doubt these people would be rioting like this if it was a typical Milwaukee winter.
