They do this because they know there is no civilian aid coming to the police. That would change if the Police publicly embraced We The People instead of continuing to serve the ruling political class.

It seems that the rioting is justified by the remarks of the two black aldermen who condoned the rioting because of economic conditions in the urban core.

In other words, they want the police to stop arresting lawbreakers because they live in poor conditions and if they resist arrest with a weapon, just let them shoot you.

This is getting so f’d up!

A bunch of people think the law no longer applies to them because politicians have told them the law no longer applies to them.

No good will come of this.

So a Milwaukee black politician is inciting continued violence by warning and implying that there will be more violence.

Violent protests erupt in Milwaukee after police kill armed suspect

By Brendan O'Brien | MILWAUKEE

Protesters fired gunshots, hurled bricks and set a gas station on fire in the U.S. mid-western city of Milwaukee on Saturday night, hours after a patrol officer shot and killed an armed suspect who took flight after a traffic stop, authorities said.

The 23-year-old suspect, who had a lengthy arrest record, was carrying a stolen handgun loaded with 23 rounds of ammunition when police pulled over the vehicle for unspecified "suspicious activity," authorities said. A second suspect who fled from the vehicle was quickly taken into custody.

District 7 - Alderman Khalif J. Rainey

"This is a warning cry," Milwaukee Alderman Khalif Rainey said. "Black people of Milwaukee are tired. They are tired of living under this oppression."

When the nature of the gathering changed wasnt it still a BLM style event? How convenient that the media redefines BLM.

And why use the vague “out of control” rather that the word “violent”?

They can’t. It is called “professional courtesy”.

couple

DeKalb, GA — Police in DeKalb, Georgia, have yet to explain why they broke into the wrong home last August, killed a dog, shot the homeowner, and managed to shoot one of their own officers — so the terrorized couple have now planned to file a lawsuit.

Chris and Leah McKinley and their one-year-old child had settled in to watch a movie in their den when they heard a strange noise. They slowly cracked open the door and saw three men standing in their kitchen.

“As I’m opening it, pow pow pow pow pow,” Chris told WSB-TV in an interview, emphasizing officers started shooting before he’d even fully opened the door. One of the bullets hit him in the leg.

Immediately, the McKinleys assumed the armed men dressed entirely in black to be robbers — and Leah panicked.

“It was five shots and I thought they just murdered him, they’re going to come for me and they’re going to get my baby,” Leah explained. “And that’s all I could think about.”

One officer was also hit by a fellow officer’s gunfire — and though two men had been shot, police ignored the homeowner to tend to the wounded cop.

Officers entered the McKinleys’ home through two closed but unlocked doors, where they encountered and then shot the family dog, a 10-year-old boxer named Yanna.

“Watching her do exactly what a dog is supposed to do,” Chris recalled of seeing Yanna in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. “All she did was warn us, she didn’t bite them, she just warned us by barking that, ‘Hey someone’s not supposed to be in here and you’re not safe.’”

An emergency caller reported a suspicious person in the cul-de-sac at the far end of the couple’s street, but dispatch did not provide an address, just a vague description that matched the McKinleys’ residence.

Worse, the complainant described a 50-year-old black man — and the McKinleys are both white. Worse still, had the person opening the door actually been the suspicious individual instead of Chris, police still took it upon themselves to shoot before asking any questions.

According to the McKinleys, police incompetence didn’t end with dangerously errant gunfire.

In the police incident report, the wounded officer was listed as the victim and Chris as the offender, the house had the wrong address, and Yanna was described as a pit bull.

“It’s just a slap in the face and a reminder of the incompetence from the very beginning until now still,” Chris said.

“They were trying to spin a story that would protect them, that would cover what they did,” asserted the couple’s attorney, Mark Bullman.

Leah also told WSB-TV DeKalb investigators repeatedly and falsely tried to claim Chris had a gun. ...

If we can just get the anarchists to protest and house squat in the politician's neighborhoods the tide if war will turn. Maybe point out the politicians are playing them and very privileged. Bring the popcorn, gasoline and matches to leave out for the anarchists and let them be useful for a change.
