A Milwaukee man has reportedly been arrested after pulling a gun on a mob of Black Lives Matter supporters who were surrounding his home for several hours.
It is currently unclear who the man is or why the mob was at his house, but he did have a “Trump Train” flag hanging outside.

BLM group, including children, pouring onto someone's property that they seem to be harassing after he was arrested by police. They're calling him "Probation Pete," and are celebrating his arrest. Milwaukee, WI 2/3
Members of the mob claimed on social media that their actions were justified because he is a “racist” and has a confederate flag. The flag was not seen in the videos, but an American and Trump flag were hanging prominently on the front of his home.
In livestream footage of the incident, the mob is clearly seen stepping on to the man’s property.
“They went specifically to his house to protest him for ‘being a racist.’ The homeowner was arrested, and the crowd remains outside. They seem to have gone on his property. WTF Milwaukee?” Kitty Shackleford, a Twitter user that archives riot footage, tweeted along with videos.
After the mob was outside his home for more than two hours, police arrived. As they entered the man’s property, the rioters cheered for police and called for the man’s arrest, yelling about how he had a weapon.
When the man was taken outside, seemingly in cuffs, the crowd went wild.
This is what was going on outside the house before he "pulled a gun on them." They went specifically to his house to protest him for "being a racist." The homeowner was arrested, and the crowd remains outside. They seem to have gone on his property. WTF Milwaukee?

So, these thugs like police, now?
I’ll wait for the full story before condemning the cops.
Dispatch: Do not arrive to the residence until we determine that the home owner brandished a gun to defend himself.
Patrol: 10-4
Dispatch: The home owner initiated weaponized self-defense. An automatic warrant has just been issued for his arrest
Patrol: On our way.
Waiting for more details...
When there’s domestic violence, police always arrest the man even though the woman may be the more violent of the two. The theory is that locking up the man diffuses the situation until the situation cools off.
I’m starting to think the police response to mob protests is to arrest the homeowner because it will diffuse the situation and it will be more difficult to arrest the mob.
In both situations, the arrested party may not be the one at fault but if it keeps the violence at bay, it might just be the smart way to handle things until better methods are found. Also, if the mob still won’t leave, begin taking videos and photos for future arrests.
They’ve always like law enforcement, as long as it suits their criminal actions. The antifa/blm are simply trying to remove the good cops while leaving the left wing fascist types.
Dude should have left Milwaukee and smashed and burned in Kenosha. No danger of being arrested there.
I guess his Black life didn't matter.
I really hope that is why the cuffed him and took him away from the house.
Although it didn’t seem to resolve the situation outside. Just unbelievable that people think they can show up outside someone’s home and harass them, and block off the street and bother the entire block and neighborhood. And the kids are being taught that this is okay.
Why weren’t the cops there in the first few minutes of them blocking off a street!!??
IOW, surrender to the violent mob. Good grief!
Nonsense.
It promotes violence.
You arrested the victim and let the criminal rampage.
You left the house and any occupants with no protection.
When innocent people die you will wring your hands and whine that you never meant that to happen. Things just got out of hand.
Yes, you did.
So basically if a mob shows up on your property and tries to intimidate you, and you confront them on your property with a legal firearm, you will be arrested in Milwaukee?
Conservatives have to leave areas controlled by Soros DAs.
You have no right to self defense there.
“I’ll wait for the full story before condemning the cops.”
***************************************************
They were “mobbing” the man’s house for two hours before the cops decided to come... and then they arrest him and none of the trespassing mob? Something is clearly “not computing”.
“They seem to have gone on his property.”
He has every right to protect his property.
Second Amendment rights violation. The federal government needs to step in.
And the BLM types wonder why their ghetto is always a ghetto. Just watch the illegal street party late at nihgt and it is like that every day 24/7/365 in these areas. People and business who can leave and they whine about white flight, lack of jobs, etc. and refuse to acknowledge their actions had any part of it.
Strange how that works.
It’s certainly not a city that Ralph, Potsie, and Richie would recognize.
