First images of the 23-year-old armed man shot and killed by a Milwaukee police officer, whose death sparked riots and unrest in the city, have surfaced. Officials identified the dead man as Sylville K Smith, previously charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety for his involvement in a shooting last year, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Both Smith and the officer who shot him are black, according to the Chicago Tribune.
During a press conference Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett said a photo shows 'without question' Smith had a gun in his hand. Barrett said that Smith had 'more firepower than the officer', and his handgun was loaded with 23 rounds, which he refused to drop when ordered by police.
Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A Flynn said officers wore body cameras as they approached the vehicle, which they found suspicious, and within 20 to 25 seconds Smith, who had a lengthy rap sheet, was dead. He also said that he would like the body cam video to be released as soon as possible, following due process.
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Smith received the two charges following a shooting last year, but the details of that shooting were not immediately clear. The charges were later dismissed. From jail Smith called his girlfriend and asked her to pressure a victim into recanting their previous statement, according to the Journal-Sentinel.

Why do they all look alike in their photos?
I can’t imagine being a cop in an area where the likes of this POS is common.
This incident is going to die down quickly, black cop, black perp, perp's father admits his son was to blame.
In other words.....THERE'S NO THERE THERE for the enemedia, the Left, the BLM and the NeverTrump chumps to play the blame game.
Leni
Yeah....and, the media was all ready to blame Trump/Trump supporters, no doubt.
Disgusting.
What really is disgusting is some of the tweets that were coming from these thugs...about what they’re owed.
Where are the arrests of these sons of 0thuga?
Noumenon, yes, I too am waiting for the pix from his Junior High yearbook. Before he dropped out.
It’s such a shame that clothing manufacturers refuse to make pants that will fit properly.
He had a concealed-carry permit
I didn’t hear that. Don’t think it is possible with his rap sheet to even own a gun. Did read the gun was reported stolen during a March burglary in Waukesha WI. Sounds like body cam will confirm it was a good shoot. Doesn’t matter to this bunch - they will riot regardless.
Any shooter who needs 33 bullet magazine to subdue the enemy should get hold of a machine gun. Because he must be a lousy shot!
If the black cop has a non-black wife/GF, all bets are off.
“I’ll post this again: He had a concealed-carry permit. How did he get it?”
I’d take that with a grain of salt. After CCW passed in Illinois the propaganda ministry was reporting every crime that they could as being committed with a “concealed firearm”.
Therefore implying that the new law was abetting crime and Making no distinction between legally and illegally carrying a firearm. I think they got called out on it enough to quit.
The Glock 33 round magazine was actually intended for the G18 pistol, which is full auto (machine pistol).
VICTIM?
Whoa there, buddy . . .!
Not near as trick as the womens’ sunglasses, though.
the report said 23 rounds though 33 sounds right. more than the police? hell i carry a subcompact 26 +1 and 2 spare mags so i have 31 rounds.
The Glock 22 .40 S&W has an extended 22 round magazine.
+One in the chamber, 23.
