The man shot and killed by a Milwaukee police officer Saturday was charged last year in a shooting and then charged again, with trying to intimidate a witness in that same shooting, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has learned.
The man shot by police was 23-year-old Sylville Smith, police sources and Smith's family told the Journal Sentinel.
Smith was charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety and with witness intimidation, but the charges were dismissed, court records show.
The charges were dropped even though the prosecutors had recorded jail calls in which Smith asked his girlfriend to pressure the victim to recant, according to court records.
In the witness intimidation case, Smith was accused of pressuring the victim in a shooting to recant a statement identifying him as the suspect, according to the criminal complaint.

The DA didn't want to appear racisss to the poor yute.
Another Hero of The Obama BLM!
If O had a son...
But he was just so close to turning his life around....
So I guess he is good at intimidation. Or was anyway.
The police got him headed in the right direction.
The DA has to think of his political career!

Sylville??? Jeezus.
...it (raising hell) was his full time job so he was at work when it happened...
I doesn’t matter. He could be the worst person out there the BLM crowd won’t care - a cop shot a black and that’s all that matters to them.
Have the DNC “media” toads found any baby pictures of this thug yet? I haven’t seen any.
So he was back on the street in order to make his intimation easier then the racist police shot him.
Read through the whole statement given by the father of Sylville Smith...it is a gut wrenchingly honest assessment and I hope he continues to speak!
“What are we gonna do now? Everyone playing their part in this city, blaming the white guy or whatever, and we know what they’re doing. Like, already I feel like they should have never OK’d guns in Wisconsin. They already know what our black youth was doing anyway. These young kids gotta realize this is all a game with them. Like they’re playing Monopoly. You young kids falling into their world, what they want you to do. Everything you do is programmed. I had to blame myself for a lot of things too because your hero is your dad and I played a very big part in my family’s role model for them. Being on the street, doing things of the street life: Entertaining, drug dealing and pimping and they’re looking at their dad like ‘he’s doing all these things.’ I got out of jail two months ago, but I’ve been going back and forth in jail and they see those things so I’d like to apologize to my kids because this is the role model they look up to. When they see the wrong role model, this is what you get. They got us killing each other and when they even OK’d them pistols and they OK’d a reason to kill us too. Now somebody got killed reaching for his wallet, but now they can say he got a gun on him and they reached for it. And that’s justifiable. When we allowed them to say guns is good and it’s legal, we can bear arms. This is not the wild, wild west y’all. But when you go down to 25th and center, you see guys with guns hanging out this long, that’s ridiculous, and they’re allowing them to do this and the police know half of them don’t have a license to carry a gun. I don’t know when we’re gonna start moving. I’ve gotta start with my kids and we gotta change our ways, to be better role models. And we gotta change ourselves. We’ve gotta talk to them, put some sense into them. They targeting us, but we know about it so there’s no reason to keep saying it’s their fault. You play a part in it. If you know there’s a reason, don’t give in to the hand, don’t be going around with big guns, don’t be going around shooting each other and letting them shoot y’all cause that’s just what they’re doing and they’re out to destroy us and we’re falling for it,” Patrick Smith said Sunday.
Me thinks this guy... 
must be related to Hill or Bill--
I’m with the BLM crowd. If he’s robbing, raping and killing other blacks let him go. No point in risking the riots associated with bringing a mad dog black on black criminal to justice.
