A Milwaukee man has reportedly been arrested after pulling a gun on a mob of Black Lives Matter supporters who were surrounding his home for several hours.
It is currently unclear who the man is or why the mob was at his house, but he did have a “Trump Train” flag hanging outside.

BLM group, including children, pouring onto someone's property that they seem to be harassing after he was arrested by police. They're calling him "Probation Pete," and are celebrating his arrest. Milwaukee, WI 2/3
Members of the mob claimed on social media that their actions were justified because he is a “racist” and has a confederate flag. The flag was not seen in the videos, but an American and Trump flag were hanging prominently on the front of his home.
In livestream footage of the incident, the mob is clearly seen stepping on to the man’s property.
“They went specifically to his house to protest him for ‘being a racist.’ The homeowner was arrested, and the crowd remains outside. They seem to have gone on his property. WTF Milwaukee?” Kitty Shackleford, a Twitter user that archives riot footage, tweeted along with videos.
After the mob was outside his home for more than two hours, police arrived. As they entered the man’s property, the rioters cheered for police and called for the man’s arrest, yelling about how he had a weapon.
When the man was taken outside, seemingly in cuffs, the crowd went wild.
This is what was going on outside the house before he "pulled a gun on them." They went specifically to his house to protest him for "being a racist." The homeowner was arrested, and the crowd remains outside. They seem to have gone on his property. WTF Milwaukee?

So now it is better to arrest a homeowner defending his/her home and lives, confiscate their lawfully owned weapons (which they probably will never see again due to legal redtape and the need to hire lawyers at huge expense) ...
so as to defuse a potential riot??
BS!!!
If the police are going to do this, they they should expect to see NO support from the law abiding citizens. They themselves will be part of the problem and might as well be lumped in with the neo-commies.
it might just be the smart way to handle things until better methods are found.
Yeah..forget that pesky Constitution and stuff...
:: weaponized self-defense. An automatic warrant ::
Automatic warrant?
WTF!?
Agreed.
Was the arrested homeowner (”Probation Pete”) a convicted felon who could not have a firearm?
That’s the only reason I can think of.
The other day my wife and I had a conversation about this scenario. Both of us agree that if our home was surrounded and attacked by these terrorists, there would be dead ones laying all over the yard. We will then let the lawyers sort it out after the family is safe. There are many others I know that would do the same. If they choose poorly to attack a location that is defended, nature will take it’s course and the gene pool will get a little cleansing.
I think that's true. Of course, real personal safety should take precedence, but if merely surrounded, one probably shouldn't give in to an urge to spray the mob with gunfire.
However, after the election, if this crap continues, I would hope that the militia would come out and actively deal with the mobs. Perhaps the homeowner should sit tight. Perhaps some anonymous neighbor can stand at a distance and help the mob decide to be elsewhere. There is a time and a place for this stuff and 50 days before the most important election ever is not the time. But one day after the election might be.
I’m trying really, really hard to support the cops. But crap like this doesn’t make it easy.

That's the way it looked to me, too, as if the man was showing them they'd better not try to come inside.
I’m all for the 2nd amendment but have never been one to feel the need to own a gun. Until lately. Last week I went to the local gun show and came home with two.
Milwaukee: proudly under Democrat rule for over a century
Getting really ticked off at cops who carry out these unconstitutional orders by Marxist mayors and governors who hate them.
It appears they will do anything for a paycheck and perks and ignore the oath they took to uphold and defend the Constitution.
SHAMEFUL
Yes.
Thugs
Where’s for a paycheck
That is the biggest piece of bull**** I have ever heard.
They took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution not their f*** perks and paycheck.
it’s unconstitutional and these cops are acting like Gestapo thugs.
BINGO.
or any other state controlled by DemocRats and RINOs
Don’t hold your breath. Barr is a deep state operative who sent 8 agents to investigate a garage door loop but refuses to protect first and second amendment rights of American citizens.
arrest the aged-out frustrated gay for inciting a riot
Certainly not in Milwaukee.
The Romans didn't just do this with Jesus - they did this with Paul (Saul of Tarsus) in the Book of Acts. Paul was arrested to get him away from the mob that was about to kill him. Jesus, on the other hand, was arrested as an insurrectionist.
