MADISON, Wis. — Federal prosecutors on Friday charged a Black man whose arrest triggered a violent protest in Wisconsin's capital city with extorting local businesses.

Police arrested 28-year-old Devonere Johnson in Madison on Tuesday after he walked into Cooper's Tavern near the state Capitol building with a megaphone and a bat. The arrest sparked a protest later that night that saw demonstrators tear down two statues outside the Capitol building and assault state Sen. Tim Carpenter on the Capitol lawn.

BLM wants to defund police so they can run a protection racket. At least the mafia never tried to defund the police.

From reading history, it looked like the Mafia FUNDED the police, in kickbacks and bribes.

Some teenager alleged that 4 white males called her racial names squirted a liquid on her through her car window and set it on fire the other day. She patted the flames out and drove home and then went to the ER. Just wondering about updates.

Her curling iron and hair gel got out of hand.
She barely looks black.
She needs to fess up.
Unless she finds a...STRAIGHT-UP NOOSE in her house.

Nope I looked and have seen nothing other than all the initial interviews she granted with People, Good Morning America, Inside Edition among others.

She was 18 and almost all stuff is closed down at 1 am except for protesting. I would like to know where she had been. I have not heard that other than she was out driving around with her window rolled down. She did say she was not at the protests but where was she?

I believe she was protesting/tearing stuff up and got injured just my opinion.

The Restaurant refused to call the Police and served him and his gang ice water. The idiot restaurant owner thought if he was nice to the mob they would leave his business alone.

That’s what the BLM chumps who run into a store and yell out demands with threats are guilty of, extortion.
