Milwaukee Crowd Turns Violent After Police Fatally Shoot Armed Man
NBC ^ | 14 Aug 2016 | Phil Helsel

Violence and protests erupted in Milwaukee overnight after a man was fatally shot by police during a foot chase.

Police said the victim, 23, was armed with a handgun and shot dead by an officer after fleeing a traffic stop on Milwaukee's north side Saturday afternoon.

Hours later angry crowds took to the streets, smashing a police car and setting fire to another. One officer was injured by a flying brick; a gas station and auto-parts store were set alight. Police said gunshots were heard.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett pleaded for calm at an early morning news conference, asking residents to "do everything" to help restore order.

"If you love your son, if you love your daughter, text them, call them, pull them by the ears and get 'em home," he said.

They always celebrate with looting and burning down local business plus attacking a few whites . I bet the DOJ had their Thug Assist Team on the ground within minutes

>Violence is not going to help!

It might help get someone who cares about law and order elected. That is the best outcome.

“If you love your son, if you love your daughter, text them, call them, pull them by the ears and get ‘em home,” he said.”......

A bit too late for that Mr. Mayor, they should have started doing that when the kids were in the 1st grade, assuming they went to school at all.

Don’t call it violence. Call it affirmative action.

Pretty shoddy reporting if you aks me.

What college was the gifted young man planning on attending this fall?

How many children was he providing for?

How much joy did he bring to the lives of others?

Stupid mainstream media. This is why you fail.

Where’s the obligatory pic of the young urchin dressed in his finest Sunday choir best?

That’s it, burn down your own neighborhoods.

Typical for a generation of people that have never taken “ownership” of anything. Including their violence toward themselves and one another.

They keep on screaming about the unarmed black men getting shot.

Then they riot on an ARMED black man getting shot.

Eff these effers.

They did the same thing in the 60s. Watts etc. burned down their own neighborhood. Not just this generation. Anywhere Marxist can rial up a crowd.

It’s a commie thing.

“If you love your son, if you love your daughter, text them, call them, pull them by the ears and get ‘em home,” he said.”..

Yeah, right. How about if you love your kid, marry the baby mama or baby daddy. Stick around if you're the daddy. Get a job and work hard so your kid sees your example, instead of the kid seeing you collect welfare every month. Discipline your kid so he doesn't grow up to be a thug.

Stolen gun? We know better than that don’t we? Probably a “throw down” planted by the evil popo so they could try to justify poppin’ the perp. NOT! Besides, “What difference at this point does it make?” I’m thinkin’ maybe some more time scopin’ out the donut shops and “Damn patrol car won’t start.” might be in order. Could be they’ll bring in B’more state attorney mary-lynn mosby to advise on prosecution of the LEO’s?

I tried to reason with a rabid dog once.

He didn’t want to listen.

He listened to Mr. Ruger though
