Milwaukee police in standoff with crowd after man fatally shot during traffic stop

A crowd of protesters skirmished with police Saturday night in a Milwaukee neighborhood where an officer shot and killed a man after a traffic stop and foot chase earlier in the day, setting fire to a police car and torching a gas station. One officer was hurt by a thrown brick.

Police said the 23-year-old man was armed with a handgun, but Assistant Chief Bill Jessup told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it wasn't immediately clear whether the man had pointed a gun or fired at the officer. They described the man as a suspect, but didn't say what led to the traffic stop.

The races of the man and the officer weren't immediately released.

The Journal Sentinel reported that a crowd of more than 100 people gathered in a standoff with 20 to 30 officers, some of whom wore riot gear, several hours after the shooting. Officers got in their cars to leave at one point and some in the crowd started smashing a squad car's windows. Another police car was set on fire. The newspaper also reported that one of its reporters was shoved to the ground and punched.

According to them, it was stolen from them first, they are just taking it back as part of the reparations they are owed.

Forty acres and a mule.

Well, at least they got the jackass, the symbol of the Democratic party.

Saw a little of it on FOX NEWS.

Nothing evokes more compassion for the deceased than black “Social Justice Warriors”, aka “Looters, rioting and running down the street with their burdens of looted goods.

Where do these fools think they’ll get their food, meds, gas, etc, now that these places have been destroyed?

Good point. Sorry I was off topic after reviewing the Muslim growth in America and all the banks here that are Sharia compliant.

If the city is as bad as you say with gangs all over, I damn sure would not visit the place. They need to call out the NG and stop the damn free shopping by black thugs ASAP. Both Obama and Clinton have stirred up BLM and all black thugs. Clinton basically endorsed this rioting and looting with Moore’s mother at the DNC. What idiots.

A whole paragraph about the races. We know what’s really important to the media.

Black perp, white cop : headline “White cop shoots black”
Black perp, black cop: headline “Another black shot by police “
White perp, black cop: headline “ “

setting fire to a police car and torching a gas station

That doesn't sound like a standoff to me.

This kind of complete disregard for the law merits the NG and the commander of the NG must have orders to fire when necessary to restore law and order.

The notion that the police must be first shot at before returning fire is ridicules.

Until legal gun owners get the same consideration then I disagree.

The standard is if someone threatens you with a firearm, or knife or some other lethal weapon, it is the point where they are taught to stop the person from doing what it was that caused them to draw their weapons.

What I got from the story is that they didn't discover the gun till after he was shot.

Well, the rioters are fouling their own nest so to speak. Burning and looting their own stores and such.

They are not destroying "their own stores". I doubt that any of the rioters has any ownership stake in any of the stores. They are destroying the property of white and Asian people who were dumb enough to operate in that area.

And then they’ll whine that nobody wants to have stores in their neighborhood.
