Milwaukee police in standoff with crowd after man fatally shot during traffic stop

A crowd of protesters skirmished with police Saturday night in a Milwaukee neighborhood where an officer shot and killed a man after a traffic stop and foot chase earlier in the day, setting fire to a police car and torching a gas station. One officer was hurt by a thrown brick.

Police said the 23-year-old man was armed with a handgun, but Assistant Chief Bill Jessup told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it wasn't immediately clear whether the man had pointed a gun or fired at the officer. They described the man as a suspect, but didn't say what led to the traffic stop.

The races of the man and the officer weren't immediately released.

The Journal Sentinel reported that a crowd of more than 100 people gathered in a standoff with 20 to 30 officers, some of whom wore riot gear, several hours after the shooting. Officers got in their cars to leave at one point and some in the crowd started smashing a squad car's windows. Another police car was set on fire. The newspaper also reported that one of its reporters was shoved to the ground and punched.

The “thin blue line”, e.g. the police.

The thin blue line. In support of law enforcement.

“Saw this reported on Chicago news. The news guy actually said the “folks” were “angry.”

Well, the rioters are fouling their own nest so to speak. Burning and looting their own stores and such. Where do these fools think they’ll get their food, meds, gas, etc, now that these places have been destroyed?

Exactly....if you avoid arrest while armed you could be a threat period. The coppers don’t have to wait to return fire, you need to take out the threat.

Here is a thought for our lower caste citizenry: Don’t do a crime and you might find out your chance of being killed by the police is about the same as anyone else not doing a crime.

This is redistribution of wealth.Social justice. Let them commit crimes, let them have guns when police chase them w/o police stopping them. That is one of the goals here. Also federalizing of police. Obamalaw.

Regardless of the rioting thugs' motivation, WHEN is enough enough and we start shooting these animals down in the street?

Because I'm ready.

If you avoid the lead in premise I can see how you could come to that conclusion. I don't think anyone here is recommending the police just begin shooting without cause. The notion that the police must be first shot at before returning fire is ridicules. The standard is if someone threatens you with a firearm, or knife or some other lethal weapon, it is the point where they are taught to stop the person from doing what it was that caused them to draw their weapons.

So many of the looters have no moral values.

What part of “Thou shalt not steal” do they not understand?

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. These people have no fear of the Lord or respect for his commandments. They’ve got a future much worse than anything they will see on this earth if they don’t change who they are and their ways.

When are we going to get wise that Clinton has been on the Sharia payroll for many years ,and; these damn Muslims do not assimilate and will not due to their beliefs (Koran}. They can make all the pledges to America, but; they are LIES as lying to us infidels is their duty. THROW THEM OUT OF AMERICA. Why are Syrian men of military age all over Europe and coming here? It makes no sense except to start war here as they are needed in Syria.

Cops nationwide should,for an entire month,just sit in their squad cars and do *nothing*.During that month...and after it’s over...let’s see what folks (particularly minorities in major cities) have to say.

Here’s associated videos for those interested.

So far, we have police investigating in an area where two black males were murdered and happen to come across this guy, with a gun and extended magazine, acting suspiciously. They try to stop him and he runs. At some point he is shot. Details are still not released by the SJW using social media already are pegging it as police murder.

We have banks, gas stations, police cars, beauty salons, and who knows what else on fire.

Absolutely nuts and becoming so commonplace that something has to give. Either the police pull out or the black community is going to have to police their own on the social media and the “fire activism”.

My money is on the police pulling out. No police means no fire, no EMS, no utility services, no mail delivery. A complete no-go zone.

Not sure what your comment has to do with the MKE situation. Thugs are rioting, looting, burning which is a break from their usual routine of shooting each other and any kids or bystanders that happen to be nearby.
