Calm restored at scene of unrest as Clarke calls for National Guard
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ^ | August 14th, 2016 | Maggie Angst, Raquel Rutledge and Ashley Luthern

As a sense of calm returned to Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood Sunday morning after a night of rioting and gunfire, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. called for the National Guard to respond to the area.

“We cannot allow for a repeat of what happened last night. I am going to utilize all available resources to accomplish that," said Clarke, whose department patrols county parks, in a news release. He also said he would be involved in "ongoing discussions" with city officials about the situation. Clarke said he had consulted with Gov. Scott Walker and Major Gen. Donald Dunbar.

Clarke's comments are in stark contrast to Milwaukee police and city leaders who said overnight Saturday they had the resources to handle the situation, including help from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office and Waukesha County agencies and did not anticipate calling upon the National Guard.

The unrest overnight came after a fatal police shooting. Milwaukee police say an officer shot and killed an armed man who was fleeing a traffic stop about 3:30 p.m. Saturday near W. Auer Ave. and N. 44th St. The officer ordered the man to drop his gun and when the man did not, the officer fired, wounding the man twice, once in the chest and once in the arm, Mayor Tom Barrett said.

Milwaukee wakes up to scenes from a war zone. Dozens of people beaten and dozens of businesses burned to the ground.

Yet City government does not want the Guard.

Time to crack some heads.

People need to know you can’t riot like this and get away with it.

It seems to me that the negroes in Milwaukee are using this as an excuse to complain that whitey ain’t giving them enough free shit.

Why do we only hear about police shooting black men, for no reason????

Why do we never hear, about why it is, that young black men, as a group, are so prone to violence?

And that being so prone to violence, they will be a disproportionate number of people in encounters with police?

The liberals and media present these stories as, OMG, this young black man was shot or manhandled by police, and the police are racist, yadda, yadda, yadda. But there is never any context given, as to what is going on in these police encounters with these young men.

Have you noticed how “The Lyncher” hasn’t sent her “DOJ” boys in to “investigate” these terrorist “protests”? Who says the “DOJ” isn’t racist?

The events of Ferguson had a lot of enablers including our governor for it to go on so long - hope they don’t have a repeat in WI tonight.

Whatever they do, don’t allow the US Justice Department access. Don’t sign their “Consent decree” it gives them a foothold to total federal control of the police force.

The Far Left citizens of Milwaukee are getting what they voted for and what they deserve. This rioting scumbags are acting out what they have been told and taught by the Progressive Left is the right way to live your life.

Sucks to be the citizens of Milwaukee, but until their Progressive Liberal world view changes , the world they are living in will stay the same.

For the rest of us, this is, as the Progressives say, is a "teachable moment" that we all can learn from because the entire country is going down the same path

F00king government has been letting this go on too long. The first city to experience this is an indication that most of the black and white ignorant ars holes will continue destroying everything they can get their hands on. Time to shoot! First bottle or rock and you will be in a body bag. And all the rest will be swooped up and jailed. Yes, it might start a open gun war, but it will get to that anyway unless a real effort to take them out is not enforced.

Look at what Welfare does for a minority....spoils them for any self-respect...BLM is funded in part by George Soros....maybe this courageous Sheriff can get some judicial help to enforce American Constitutional Law for traitors and people who want to overthrow the U.S.Government.....or is Soros like the Clintons, too big to lock up? It would be interesting to find out how many of our elected are taking money from ‘ol George......

With the donkeys doing their damndest to turn us into another Venezuela, rampant illegal immigrant crime/sanctuary cities, and the growing cultivation of Sharia Law, I fear my country has reached the point of no return!!!

Trump’s DOJ should prosecute Soros..and confiscate all his wealth. 50% of the problem solved.

"People need to know you can’t riot like this and get away with it."

Yes, but the community organizer, agitator in chief, is running the country. The DOJ will be ready to pounce on any shooting of "their people." Not to mention that Obama is using all of this to try to Federalize police forces and make it ever harder to enforce order. The message to police is pretty clear. You can shoot whites without more than the usual review, but shoot POCs and you will be investigated and charged, if possible, and your police force will be turned inside out.
