Tension flared again overnight in Milwaukee, with one person shot and a police officer injured in the second night of riots triggered by the fatal shooting of a suspect by an officer.
Police violence against African-Americans has ignited sporadic, sometimes violent protests in the past two years. It also has prompted a national debate over race and policing while fuelling the growth of the Black Lives Matter civil rights movement.
Violence erupted in Milwaukee on Sunday after peaceful vigils by small groups of demonstrators, and police said late that night that they had rescued one shooting victim, who was taken to a hospital. It was not immediately clear if the injured person was a protester.
One police officer was hospitalized after a rock smashed a patrol car windshield, the city police department said. Another squad car was damaged by rioters hurling bricks, rocks and bottles, it said, adding that officers made multiple arrests....

Did you hear that one Trump supporter who called reporters "poopy heads"?
Can you even imagine the hate?

Their “excuse” all along was the victim was “unarmed.” Now we have a case where the victim was armed and refused to follow orders to drop the loaded weapon and got shot. And they still riot.
And they wider why the rest of society treats them like they are prone to violence.
Ah, all those gibsmedat Obama sons are not really bad.
They are just mad because their Columbia University/Harvard scholarships have not arrived yet.
I thought Reuters was keeping up at least some pretense of being ‘journalists’ or perhaps ‘reporters’. I was wrong.
They are raising the bar. They are now rioting even when it’s obvious that the police were justified in shooting. The ultimate goal is to get police to allow blacks to get away with their crimes.
Pretty nasty rocks they have there in Milwaukee.
I'm assuming the police arrested the rock, and will charge it with attempted murder, attempted assault on a LEO, and destruction of public property.
Which in turn means the creation of "no-go zones" within American cities.
Anyone who doesn’t believe that this stain on our nations honor isn’t directly attributable to the present POTUS has not been paying attention for at least the last 8 years. “Fundamental Changing of America!!!”
Black Lives Matter civil rights movement.
Wrong
Actually Black Lives Terrorist Movement.
When you’re grabbing for my gun (Big Mike and Trayvon) you’re armed.

Just wondering if I have it right. A black officer shot a black man who had a gun in his hand, and blacks are rioting and singling out whites for attack.
White cop, black suspect: headlines “White cop shoots black man”.
Black cop, black suspect: headlines “Another cop shoots another black man”.
Black cop, white suspect: headlines “”
Police violence against African-Americans.....
