As of today Milwaukee PD has no comment, no suspects and no arrests despite the entire event being filmed by WTMJ 4.

Our seldom seen Democratic Mayor and Police Chief are not to be seen.......

What the hell is Juneteenth? Another made up holiday like kawanza?

Juneteenth riot in Milwaukee.
Juneteenth riot in Texas.

One almost starts to think that black populations have a problem with violence and self control.

Juneteenth
Around 6:40 p.m. in the 3100 block of N. 1st St.
After Juneteenth ended, hundreds of teenagers started causing havoc. Police say they ran up to a vehicle near N. 1st St. and Burleigh, started kicking the vehicle and pulled the driver out of his vehicle. The driver is a 33-year-old man. MPD says teenagers started hitting and kicking the man. He had cuts all over his face and a broken tooth. He was treated and released from a local hospital.

About 7 p.m. in the 3200 block of N. 1st St., near 1st and Auer
A group of girls started fighting. Police went to break it up, and a 17-year-old female refused to calm down. Police say she started punching a 15-year veteran police officer. She hit him in his face shield. That broke and shattered into the officer’s face. He had to get three stitches and suffered scratches to his neck. The 17-year old was arrested for battery to a police officer. Police say the case will likely go to the district attorney’s office today or tomorrow.

Around 2 p.m. in the 3000 block of N. 1st St.
Three females started fighting. A 15-year-old boy acquaintance tried to break up the fight, when an 18-year-old man jumped in and started fighting the 15-year-old boy. Police say the 15-year old beat up the 18-year old. The 18-year old was angry and said as he walked away “I’m coming back with a gun.” The 18-year old does in fact return with a gun. MPD says he fired five gunshots into a crowd where the 15-year old was standing. The 15-year old’s 39-year-old uncle was shot in the right shoulder. He was treated and released from the hospital. Police are still looking for the shooter. Police don’t believe this is related to Juneteenth celebrations.

Car in River
Police identified the man found in a car submerged in the Milwaukee River. He is 54-year-old Donald J. Timmons. Police don’t know the circumstances behind his driving into the river, but they do believe he was intoxicated.

Shooting
Around 12:20 a.m. Wednesday near 27th and Capitol
Someone in the Wendy’s parking lot noticed a man walking around with a gunshot wound. That person called police. Police arrived and talked with the man. The man claims he didn’t realized he’d been shot in the right shoulder. MPD determined that the man with a gunshot wound was one of the two suspects in an attempted armed robbery a short time earlier at a gas station located at 4405 N. 27th Street. Police say a 32-year-old man was outside his car at the gas station about to pump gas when two men approached him. One man had a semi automatic handgun. One suspect pushed the victim, the victim jumped into his car. The suspect started firing his gun. Instead of shooting the victim, he shot his accomplice, a 26-year-old man. The victim had bullet holes in his t-shirt but was not injured. The 26-year old is in police custody. Police are still looking for the shooter.

Pat Kasthurirangaian said he doesn't know the people who pulled him from his car and brutally beat him. He doesn't know why they did it.

He was the wrong color and in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Note to self: invest in urban clothing stores that sell 4XL white t-shirts. They apparently do big business.
