Violence erupts after officer-involved shooting
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ^ | August 14th, 2016 | Aaron Mak, Jacob Carpenter and Ashley Luthern

A standoff between police and an angry crowd turned violent Saturday night in the hours after a Milwaukee police officer shot and killed an armed suspect during a foot chase on the city's north side.

After an hours-long confrontation with officers, police reported at 10:15 p.m. that a gas station at N. Sherman Blvd. and W. Burleigh St. was set on fire. Police said firefighters could not for a time get close to the blaze because of gunshots.

Later, fires were started at businesses — including a BMO Harris Bank branch, a beauty supply company and O'Reilly Auto Parts stores — near N. 35th and W. Burleigh streets, a grim and emphatic Mayor Tom Barrett said. He spoke at a midnight news conference at the District 3 police station at N. 49th St. and W. Lisbon Ave.

He and Common Council President Ashanti Hamilton pleaded with the public for calm. Barrett promised a strong police presence in coming days.

The reason this is receiving such poor coverage in the MSM is because editors believe the situation will benefit Trump...and they have a "moral obligation" to defeat him.

Trump should head to Milwaukee right now, today, and make hay while the sun is out.

A big play now could put Wisconsin in his column in November.

Maybe Trump could take Paul Ryan with him and leave Ryan in Milwaukee?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Excellent suggestion.

The scumbag was a felon with a stolen gun resisting/fleeing police. I think intelligent blacks will secretly appreciate this fact as well.

The only things these punks will understand is a belly full of lead. We are at war with criminals and it must be dealt with strength.

"a belly full of lead"

A situation ready made for the Smith & Wesson Model 586 Distinguished Combat Revolver.

The “monster” vote that all the pundits are alluding to is out there and it’s going to be an extraordinary percentage of white voters going for Trump. Enough is enough. Blacks can’t keep blaming “Whitey” for their problems when almost all of them are self inflicted. Just my opinion as a proud Freeper and American of color myself.

Good idea except Trump would be accuses of demagoguery and of exploiting a situation for political benefit.

These are the early stages of the coming Social War which unless we regain our hardness we will lose.

Gee, I wonder of something could be done on Nov 3rd, non violent, banners maybe, to piss them off so bad they’re too busy rioting and looting to vote. Banners, graffiti at the inner city voting places. Let them burn those down.

Terrible thoughts I know.

A split is coming in America, and it isn’t going to be black vs. white...it’s going to be people of decency and order and fairness vs. the criminal element, the bought-off and the political establishment that pulls their strings.

The new normal= black criminals get a free pass.
Blacks must be allowed to murder cops, murder one another, steal whatever they want, burn the cities, assault schoolteachers because it’s just their way of exacting reparations.

Any attempt to stop them is racist and will result in rioting.

Trump should head to Milwaukee right now....

No, because (1) the city is fraught with danger and police resources can't be expected to handle any more obligations and (2) Trump should head to other Wisconsin cities, reminding those folks that if Milwaukee could erupt so violently, it will spread all over the state.

Yes, in this country we basically have the equivalent of TASS in the former Soviet Union.
