The Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot an armed suspect Saturday is black, Chief Edward Flynn confirmed Sunday.

"We are concerned for his safety, he has been staying with relatives out of town."

Flynn said that based on his review of the body camera video, the chain of events leading to the shooting of 23-year-old Sylville Smith took 20 to 25 seconds.

"I mean, there was virtually no time between the officer unhooking his seat belt, turning on his body camera, getting out of the car and immediately he was in a foot chase. That foot chase went maybe a few dozen feet before he encountered this individual in a fenced yard," Flynn said.

"The individual was armed. The individual did turn toward the officer with the firearm in his hand. You can't tell when the officer discharges his firearm."

The reason Obama wants the Fed to Control the Police is so he can put insane Rules Of Engagement on them

People need to start protecting themselves from these animals. I’m down for pre-emptied strikes

It was reported that the business was burned down because they were not nice to black people . . . just looking for an excuse to do it, the shooting provided it.

No, they burned down the hood for a criminal. A criminal who had been arrested several times, but never taken to trial. I am surprised the media has reported the gun as being stolen. I would think that doesn’t go along with their desired narrative.

No,*Obama* is black...authentically black.Not a word spoken about his white relatives except to mention that his grandmother was a "typical white person".

No,this cop is surely an "Oreo".

I wish we could return to the old days when looters and fire starters would be shot on site when caught in the act.

Sylville Smith was a piece of work, coddled by the “justice” system and let skip on witness intimidation charges. Only in a Democrat-run system do the bad guys get put back on the street to hunt again.
