BREAKING: VIOLENT STANDOFF Between Milwaukee Police And Rioters After Officer-Involved Shooting
!00% Fed Up ^ | 8/13/16 | 100% Fed Up

A chaotic scene unfolded tonight after a police officer shot and killed an armed suspect in the north side of the city of Milwaukee. Police were in riot gear and as they left in their patrol cars, rioters smashed their windows and attacked the cars. A journalist was attacked too.

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.

More than 100 people gathered near the scene at N. 44th St. and W. Auer Ave. and at times pushed against a line of 20 to 30 officers, some of whom were in riot gear.

At one point, the officers got in their cars to leave and some in the crowd started smashing the windows and side of a squad car that appeared to be demolished. Another vehicle was set on fire. As officers returned to the scene, this time many more in riot gear, three or four gunshots could be heard about 8:45 p.m.

Soon thereafter, the crowd turned on and attacked reporters and a photographer from the Journal Sentinel. One reporter was shoved to the ground and punched.

I will have no sympathy for any media which has been enabling the Usurper and his inducing of riots when they do get attacked.

They like to stir up the trouble; they can bathe in it.

A few gunships, warthogs and a dozen or so drones should clean up the mess in a short - with very few LEO lives lost.

Just like our ‘wars’...

Don’t get involved if you are not willing to WIN swiftly.

Sure the local PDs etal have plenty ‘Fighting vehicles’ etc, no sense sending unarmored Black & Whites into the zone when you can use a Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

A few ‘burps’ and diligent use the of flame thrower, peace will come swiftly.

Remember in the Vietnam area, Kent State ‘happened’ and all the foolishness ground to a halt in very quick fashion.

This is the ultimate destiny of the drug culture’s gravy train: death, property damage, anarchy. All that money selling drugs is just selling ones soul to Satan.

You’ve nailed it. From this article:

Milwaukee police officer takes brick to the head during violent protests after police shooting of armed man
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/milwaukee-police-protesters-clash-fatal-shooting-article-1.2750208

We have this excerpt:
**********************
Police described the gunman as a Milwaukee man with a lengthy arrest record. Yet Nefataria Gordon told the Sentinel she was close with the man who died Saturday afternoon.

“He was a nice person,” Gordon said. “He was really respected. That’s why everyone came out. They’re angry.”

The man’s gun came from a burglary in nearby Waukesha, according to investigators. The victim said 500 rounds of ammunition were also taken during the March robbery, police said.
**********************

So serial bad guy with a stolen gun ran from the police in a traffic stop, wouldn’t drop his stolen gun and gets dead for his efforts, and the locals riot and defend him.

There is a crisis of basic morality going on here in this community, forget the individual perp that set all this off.

Let's spare this ahole Oboma’s skinny throat, and hang him by his elephant ears, when it's his turn to pay for his crimes against the state, and We the People.

the four dead at kent state were shot by the national guard.
the “foolishness” as you call it, was accelerated to new levels after that.
it went on for at least 2 more years.

‘So there will soon be gasoline deserts in the ‘hood?’

If so, GPS systems need to warn drivers. Few things in the US are worse than being out of gas and stranded in a dangerous location.

This is a polarizing issue. People who hate the law side with the left, and those who hate crime side with Trump.

I’d really hate being a democrat this year.

AND ...

What about the freaking LIBERTARIANS?

Do they hate Trump so much that they want this kind of lawlessness to escalate?

Hillary is no friend of the law either. She used to be an attorney for the black panthers, and she had a pedophile trained to trick a lie detector.

There used to be an app that did that, I can’t remember the name. It got pulled from the App Store or the useful functionality removed, I can’t remember which. Racist doncha’ know.

What’s missing is a timeline. Minutes after the shooting, there were police in riot gear forming up? What? They’re on standby somewhere?

That “crisis” is found in every inner city controled by Democrats, a “crisis” deliberately manufactured to keep themselves fat, happy, and in power.

I wonder how the reporters like getting attacked by the thugs?

It happened two years ago, and the reporter apologized to the "black community" for inadvertently inciting the crowd due to her whiteness.
