Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) says Hillary Clinton's response to the unrest occurring in Milwaukee is only making the situation worse.
"I think comments like that are just inflaming the situation," Walker told "Fox and Friends" Tuesday morning.
"I think people understand in that neighborhood and in Sherman Park and in Milwaukee, they want law enforcement to step up and protect them," he added.
"The people who live in the neighborhood want police — they want the police in Milwaukee and the sheriff's department to step up and protect them. They didn't want the criminals who were doing those actions against those businesses to do that. And I think statements like that and the lack of leadership we have had from the president on this issue only inflame the situation."
Clinton on Monday spoke at a campaign event about the riots occurring in Milwaukee after an officer fatally shot a 23-year-old man who officials said was armed.
"Look at what's happening in Milwaukee right now; we've got urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities," Clinton said Monday.
"And get back to the fundamental principle: Everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law."
The Wisconsin National Guard was activated Sunday and several arrests have been made in the unrest since the Saturday shooting.
According to Milwaukee police, four officers were injured Sunday night and 14 arrests were made. The police department also posted images on Twitter of a squad car damaged by thrown bricks, rocks and glass bottles and posted about reports of shots fired.
He can, and may just “decree” that the election is off and that marshal law is in force
Okay, repeat after me FReepers...

"Look at what's happening in Milwaukee right now; we've got urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities," Clinton said Monday.
"And get back to the fundamental principle: Everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law."That is why DNC in Philly was spotlighted full of BLM 'grieving parents', and none given to victim families of fallen Police. And police union was spurned.
We all clearly saw Hillary's respect for the law. There is no greater disdain for laws than her Clinton "Charity" Foundation past history, and her email ServerGate.
And you think Hillary cares about black people? Another Useful Idiots to be disposed of later.
Hillary: “Everyone should have respect for the law...except for ME, of course!”
Fixed.
Walker knows the stakes. I’m proud of what he has been doing with his support.
Cruz only thinks about his own feelings and his own thwarted personal ambitions.
“He snubbed Trump’s last visit to Wisconsin.”
No, he didn’t. He was in the middle of touring and asking for funding to repair the northern part of Wisconsin, washed away by heavy rains.
I was PLEASED that he went to personally take a look at the mess, versus stumping for Trump. I like seeing Governor Walker back, doing the JOB, ‘We The People’ of Wisconsin HIRED him to do!
Walker would have been a great presidential candidate.
He shouldah been a contendah!
I think the GOPe didn’t like him though cause he does
not have a college degree. That’s actually a big plus in my book.
He just could not pull off the culture warrior and take PC head on like the outsider Trump, and in the end looked like a stooge for the GOPe. Too bad for him, I think he has been an effective leader.
