The mayor of Milwaukee is a Dem who ran for governor against Walker twice - I have no doubt he will let Milwaukee burn for no other reason than to allow the Feds to take over Sheriff Clark’s job. Clark is the Enemy of Obama, et.al. He must be destroyed. I pray that Sheriff Clark is ready for the onslaught and that good Wisconsin people will help him to fight these tools of the Devil.

Clark has become a conservative icon. I’m sure that there will be some serious attempts being made to make this thing blow up in his face, or at least report it as such.

Detroit has strangely avoided any BLM violence. Heavily armed Detroiters?

"Don’t sign their “Consent decree”

That is fundamental.

Make them take you to court and PROVE their allegations of discrimination.

I suspect that what we see from now to January is just a warm-up and once Trump takes office then they will really try to create trouble.

What you have is a refusal to admit that the police have the authority to enforce the law. These young Black guys have been pumped full of resistance mentality to the point that when officers approach and expect reasoned things, the Black youth challenges and gets aggressive.

When I was young, I was taught not to oppose the police. I was taught to respect them and follow their instructions. (And of course folks, that’s only if it is reasoned. I’m not to stab someone simply because an officer ordered it.)

If Black youth were taught to abide by the law and respect police officers, there wouldn’t be this problem.

Police officers didn’t target Black areas of major cities just because of who lived there. They did so because of the high crime there.

White communities, low crime, low police presence.

Black communities, high crime, high police presence.

Get your neighborhoods under control, and the police won’t frequent the area. Simple as that.

Blacks used to be mistreated by society and members of society.

They developed a “Don’t Tread on Me Attitude”, and I can understand that. The problem is, it is not abusive to confront a suspect and expect compliance with reasoned demands.

This “Don’t Tread on Me Attitude”, is now exhibited when officers confront people for criminal activity.

What? I have to show I.D. Why you, I’ll get you for that! You’re harassing me. No, the officer is trying to piece together information to clear you or indict you. A rotten attitude gives the officer more reason to suspect you.

Comply. Get it over with. Go on your way.

Everyone from Rodney King to the Brown kid in Ferguson...,, if they’d just comply, there wouldn’t be reason to confront them or use force.

Animals? No, they are humans that have been trained not to comply. Even an animal will comply.

Good points.

The media have had some stories recently, lamenting how black parents have “the talk” with their sons, about how to deal with the police.

Heck, my own parents had a talk with me. I’m white. But they told me to respect other people, respect authority, and don’t go mouthing off to cops if stopped for some reason.

My point is that many parents, not just black parents, teach their children how to react with police, and also advise them to stay out of trouble in the first place.

But as you point out, many black young men seem to escalate these encounters with police.

Which in turn can lead to tragic consequences, such as with the Michael Brown shooting.

Is anyone else disturbed that the Black Lives Matter movement, got its jump start from the Michael Brown shooting, which was predicated on the lie that Michael had his hands up and said don’t shoot??? When the truth of the matter is, Michael became aggressive with the policeman, and tried to get his gun to shoot the cop???

Anyone else disbursed that facts just don’t matter anymore, at least to liberals pushing an agenda???

You’re exactly right.

It’s the main reason why I don’t give the BLM movement any respect whatsoever.

Those that do, are numbskulls, in many instances giving credence to an organization that would like nothing less than to kill the numbskull.

Will any of the rioters be charged with hate crimes?
