A chaotic scene unfolded tonight after a police officer shot and killed an armed suspect in the north side of the city of Milwaukee. Police were in riot gear and as they left in their patrol cars, rioters smashed their windows and attacked the cars. A journalist was attacked too.
A standoff between police and an angry crowd turned violent Saturday night in the hours after a Milwaukee police officer shot and killed an armed suspect during a foot chase on the city’s north side.
More than 100 people gathered near the scene at N. 44th St. and W. Auer Ave. and at times pushed against a line of 20 to 30 officers, some of whom were in riot gear.
At one point, the officers got in their cars to leave and some in the crowd started smashing the windows and side of a squad car that appeared to be demolished. Another vehicle was set on fire. As officers returned to the scene, this time many more in riot gear, three or four gunshots could be heard about 8:45 p.m.
Soon thereafter, the crowd turned on and attacked reporters and a photographer from the Journal Sentinel. One reporter was shoved to the ground and punched.

I wonder how the reporters like getting attacked by the thugs?
If the police shoot the rioters attacking them, the crime rate will go way down.

Every cloud has a silver lining....

Democrats attacking democrats?
Congratulations, Øbama, you killed law and order. What a wonderful legacy you will leave. And the neverTrump idiots want Hillary to continue the same.
This isn’t breaking news anymore.
I can set my watch to it.
Hope and change!!!
Yeah. The left against each other.
It is Obama’s America. Happens all the time now.
this literally “kills” me.....wasn’t there like 5 shooting deaths overnight and they decide this feral thug criminal is worth rioting over?.....
I bet the armed suspect was “turning his life around” right about the time the cop shot him. He was “a good kid,” that ran away from the cops.
I love how these idiots never think that maybe, just maybe if the criminal didn’t: 1) commit a crime, 2) run away from the cops and 3) run away from the cops while brandishing a firearm he’d be alive to tell his tale.
Bro, it’s true. How/why/when/where/who is this a shock to anymore?
The only question is which bad neighborhood and the answer is I couldn’t give a flying #### anymore.
Take the police out of these neighbor hoods and put them all on the edge of the good neighborhoods, so they can’t be infected.
“the crowd turned on and attacked reporters and a photographer from the Journal Sentinel. One reporter was shoved to the ground and punched.”
Wasn’t all bad.
So there will soon be gasoline deserts in the ‘hood?
Serves them right.
What happened to Wisconsin nice?
North American euphemism for a member of the urban criminal class. This unusual occupation is usually mentioned in conjunction with the subject either being slain or being taken into custody for a violent or property-related crime. A relative of the subject usually points out that the subjects demise or incarceration comes at an extremely inopportune moment, occurring just as they subject was "turning they(sic) life around."
