Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett held a news conference, where he commended the work of the city’s first responders, the amazing restraint police have had while dealing with the unrest, and the saying that a curfew will be imposed until order is restored. The state’s National Guard has been activated, though they will not be deployed unless Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn deems it necessary.

They city has been thrown into turmoil over the officer-involved shooting of Sylville Smith. Barrett said that the officer was wearing a body-cam at the time of the shooting. He didn’t see the full video, but a still that clearly shows Smith was armed. He also had a firearm with an extended magazine; 23 rounds were found in it. Over at Hot Air, Ed mentioned how Gov. Scott Walker wants that video to be released as soon as possible. For now, it remains in the possession of the state of Wisconsin pending an investigation.

The Section 8 housing mob owns nothing, so rioting and destroying other’s property does not effect them.

May it be a lesson to choose your homestead AWAY from Section 8, Govt welfare.

I think of Gov. Jim Rhodes and the Kent State protesters who took over the ROTC building.

"..We cannot co-habitate with white people, one of us have to go, black or white. All ya'll have to go!.."

Agreed.
Say when.

But, we were always taught that was egregious police-state power used against poor peace-loving hippies.

This will go down the same way.

“I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.

I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.

And I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.”

- Abraham Lincoln to Stephen Douglas

“This is probably a politically incorrect statement, but I wouldn’t mind if the police cut down on all of these protesters after they been fairly warned. They need to get a job and quit sucking off George Soros and the demoncrat machine!”

What the police need to do is separate the agitators from the herd and send a message that this will no longer be tolerated.

The mob is bought and paid for by liberal elites who use black violence to keep the “˜black community” destabilized

AND on the liberal plantation

AND as an excuse call out whites as racists.

AND use any racist comments they can collect off the internet to raise money...

It’s too bad white liberal elites can’t use those same gifts for good rather than for their usual self aggrandizement...

Let’s not be rash, let’s use incrementalism, so maybe a few among the mob learn their lesson, even if they have to learn the hard way.

First, use the water cannons.
Second, use the dogs.
Third, use the rubber bullets.

Anyone who doesn’t disperse after you’ve used all that deserves real bullets.

Don’t call them protesters,they are rioters.

Once the first car is tipped over,shot fired,store looted,or fire set, it goes from being a protest to a riot.

As far as I’m concerned——just give warning and get rid of them by any means necessary. .

I had the unfortunate pleasure of listening to NPR. They had on some stupid ignorant state representative basically justifying the violence. In one breath she claims “we need to let the justice system work” while saying “but this shows we are a community hurting and we need to show love” AND “he didn’t need to be shot he had his CCW and was allowed to carry a gun.”

STUPID COW! He was a felon in posession.

Those officers showed great composure and patience.

If Clintoon becomes our Potus, she will disarm us and make us like the poor guy below, running for his life! His crime, being a Trump supporter in San Jose earlier this year. He was run down by a Somali Islamic. The worthless Liberal San Jose Mayor and LaRaza police chief made sure their cops didn’t stop the violence against Trump supporters. San Jose has very strict gun control laws.

I have long said this. Goes for any rioters, blacks or college thugs. They should all be summarily shot.

Problem: They'd salt a Tea Party rally with troublemakers, call it a riot, and shoot US!
