Even the NY Post calls the riots "protests".

Disgusting how Fox News has repeatedly described this as “police follow him to his car and shoot him” - making it sound like they ambushed some poor innocent guy and completely leaving out the fact that they had guns aimed at him and he was ignoring them.

They're riots and the media is an accomplice.

Guess it’s time to defund the Kenosha PD!

This looks very bad. Why did he need to be shot at all, let alone 8 times. I may get flamed for this, but I think that cop needs to be charged with attempted murder.

And here’s the thing - BLM is half right. Cops are shooting too many people. Where BLM is wrong is that it is not just blacks who are the targets. The cops are killing too many people due to their newfound safety culture, which can be summarized as follows- “If you feel threatened, empty your gun”. That may be safer for the cops, but it sucks for everyone else.

In the mean time rioters are carrying guns in Kenosha, along with the usual looting an arson. Here is hoping that leaders in WI can navigate this better than they did in OR and WA.

Didn’t a DNC operative say last week that Wisconsin was the key to the election?

protesters throw what appears to be molotov cocktails and bricks towards police standing near a patrol car.

This is understandable. Since it was only hours after the shooting, peaceful protesters didn't have time to go to their local five-and-dime to get poster boards and pens. Peaceful protesting had to be expedited, and there wasn't the usual time to brain-storm slogans and words for posters. These Peaceful Protesters went straight to the mostly-peaceful molotov cocktails and bricks.

I'm sure after a full day elapses, with time during the day today to get to Walmart and art-supply stores, tonights Peaceful Protests will have the proper peaceful-protesting signage.

Every police shooting is national news until November. I actually am amazed that any cop would pursue a perp at this point. Just let them go. Why bother?

The fellow had a warrant out. When the cops came to investigate a domestic violence event (two women fighting) they naturally turn to the man, probably because of their “domestic violence trying.”

He wants no part of it, and doesn’t want to give his name to the police because he’ll then be arrested for the warrent, and figures he’ll just beat it.

Cops won’t let him do that, follow him to his car and shoot him when he reaches in, thinking he MIGHT have a weapon ( he doesn’t)

Don’t know what the warrant was for, but it seemed like he was doing his best to take care of his kids.

So now, instead of showing the convention this week, the networks will be covering the rioting and looting in Wisconsin. How convenient.

Any of you innocent protesters just standing around when the Molotov Cocktails and Roman Candles start flying are simply slow moving targets.

Police that patrol the inner cities aren’t really police. I look at them like game wardens and there are obvious inherit dangers when your workplace is wild and untamed.

If they keep going with this crap they are going to definitively push Wisconsin into the Trump camp like they may have already done in Minnesota.

"...a police officer was filmed shooting a black man in the back as he tried to enter his car."

That style of hasty reporting is irresponsible in its isolation from more facts. No one knows enough about what happened, yet.

And the video shows trained minds that there were probably more important details involved.
