Milwaukee Crowd Turns Violent After Police Fatally Shoot Armed Man
NBC ^ | 14 Aug 2016 | Phil Helsel

Violence and protests erupted in Milwaukee overnight after a man was fatally shot by police during a foot chase.

Police said the victim, 23, was armed with a handgun and shot dead by an officer after fleeing a traffic stop on Milwaukee's north side Saturday afternoon.

Hours later angry crowds took to the streets, smashing a police car and setting fire to another. One officer was injured by a flying brick; a gas station and auto-parts store were set alight. Police said gunshots were heard.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett pleaded for calm at an early morning news conference, asking residents to "do everything" to help restore order.

"If you love your son, if you love your daughter, text them, call them, pull them by the ears and get 'em home," he said.

They did the “beat down whites” thing here in Cincinnati during the riots. Show the bravery of these nebroids. 20 of them pull a white truck driver out of his truck because he happens to be delivering some staples to their shithole ghetto and beat him to an inch of his life. The only thing regrettable about the police response here was they they were using rubber bullets.

Another thug with a record, carrying a stolen gun packed with 23 bullets, shot by police and the black community, instead of thanking police, they riot??

Not all whites are limp-wristed liberals.

True but those that will resist will turn round for support and find no one there.

Be careful what you ask for, Mayor Barrett.

My late dad had the plan to stop riots back in 1968!

Major cities erupted after MLK was assassinated

Mayor Tate in Philadelphia gave police commissioner Frank Rizzo a free hand

Rizzo came out and said NOBODY is burning this city

Thugs knew he meant it

No riots no looting in Philly

And do not even think about moving your riots to “the cracker’s” neighborhoods because we will not look the other way while our homes and businesses are looted and burned. This statement is for law enforcement and the govt. We will defend ourselves if you refuse to.

The racist rhetoric, hatred, and threats of violence against Whites coming from the Milwaukee rioters is just the latest reminder to buy more ammo.

Any White who can’t - or won’t - prepare for the coming s***-storm will get what they deserve. Paul Ryan won’t save you. Hillary Clinton won’t save you. That lying scum on your TV won’t save you. The police won’t save you.

It’s up to you to save yourself. Buy a weapon, learn to use it, and be prepared to do some things you wish you didn’t have to do.

“Milwaukee Police Assistant Chief Bill Jessup...”
____________________

I don’t know anything about Asst Chief Jessup; however, the Chief of Police is shown on the City of Milwaukee’s website as “Chief Edward A. Flynn;” Mitt Romney’s Secretary of Public Safety when Romney was Governor of Massachusetts

The link to Chief Flynn’s bio from the City of Milwaukee’s website is shown below; however, it seems to be erratic in its function since earlier this morning. I was still able to connect to it using a web search for “’City of Milwaukee’ with ‘Chief of Police’”

Haha yea I hear you about the work thing. I work 50s a week minimum and live for the evenings and weekends with my family. No time to protest.....that being said we need to get back to work so we can buy food/shelter for those who dont work and have the time to protest!

Once I get the information about this incident I will apply my personal litmus test. If circumstances were identical in Iraq or Afghanistan, and one of my military men shot a native under the same conditions, would they have been in trouble?

Our police are dealing with American citizens and must be held to a higher standard.

Hopefully the body cam will tell the tale.

Drudge has the story... they were looking for white people to beat up.

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: IF CROWDS OF RIGHT WINGERS WERE PULLING BLACK PEOPLE OUT OF CARS AND BEATING THEM UP - - WOULD THIS BE A BIGGER STORY?
