In a statement posted to Twitter, Gov. Tony Evers (D) said, "While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country. We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country."

There were other reports last night about this. But, I hadn't seen the gov's tweet until just now. I'm thinkin' the Kenosha LEOs should be tossing their badges on the chiefs desk. The POS gov even says without all the facts and still condemn the cops. Hey assclowns, unarmed does NOT equal undangerous. Way to back up your employees. Hey gov, phu cough!

Heck, we don’t wait for facts anymore. We just don’t.

What is the race of the victim??? If he’s “Negro” then there is a presumption that he is an innocent victim of police over-reaction.

The only thing that matters is the race of the victim. The rest of the “narrative” will be constructed from that one piece of information.

This governor is a (fill in the blank). We don’t even wait for facts or any investigation. We immediately are supposed to assume that a black victim of police action was an innocent victim.

Isn’t that prejudicial, to just assume that an incident with a black victim means the police are at fault??? Don’t liberals lecture us that prejudice is bad?????

“Moron” the gov’s twitter comments not just doubling down. The pander is YUGE:

Governor Tony Evers
@GovEvers
We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country—lives like those of George Floyd, of Breonna Taylor, Tony Robinson, Dontre Hamilton, Ernest Lacy, and Sylville Smith.

Governor Tony Evers
@GovEvers
I have said all along that although we must offer our empathy, equally important is our action. In the coming days, we will demand just that of elected officials in our state who have failed to recognize the racism in our state and our country for far too long.

Special treatment is NOT equal treatment.

Jobs or mobs. Your choice 11/3/2020

Start with the Democrat Mayor of Kenosha. Born in Kenosha, Antaramian graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Parkside and served in the Wisconsin State Assembly for ten years. In 1992, Antaramian was elected Mayor of Kenosha, Wisconsin and served for sixteen years. In 2008, he retired and started a consulting business. He was a visiting professor at Carthage College before returning to the mayoral office in 2016.

The video plainly shows the culprit on the far side of the car doing something that caused ALL FOUR officer to simultaneously pull their sidearms. Then he struts over to the driver’s side of the car, ignoring all the commands from all those officers to stop. He opens the door of the car ignoring the officer’s attempt to pull him back out by the shirt.

The Governor’s remarks are deceitful at best, completely dishonest and inflammatory at worst.

Golly gee, Gov. why don't you throw some gasoline on that small fire?

Evers is practically as asking rioters to visit Madison and Milwaukee and burn them down - what else can one expect from our radical socialist Governor?

Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump has finally and totally and completely flushed out these lying socialist Democrat America haters for exactly what they are

They want to kill babies and chop them up and sell their body parts

Evers is practically as asking rioters to visit Madison and Milwaukee and burn them down - what else can one expect from ANY DEMONCRAP ?

Exactly. Four cops don’t all suddenly decide to pull their weapons for no reason.

The lies immediately started pouring out about this event.

Does Governor Tony Evers (D) know how many innocent unarmed citizens in Wisconsin were shot, robbed or raped last week?

No?

So, the only 'empathy' this POS Governor has is for criminals? And then ONLY criminals of color?

Time to stop the whites from terrorizing black communities in the name of peaceful protesting.

Black Neighborhoods Matter

Increase minority police in area
Increase training
Remove white protestors from black neighborhoods

He Gov, your crappy response is why folks are rioting. You might try caring, just a bit.

Without facts, you only have opinions, which are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.

Butt, butt, butt yesterday “tmz” used the word “inexplicably” in their report concerning the LEO unloading 7 rounds. As earlier, unarmed does NOT mean undangerous. Just ask Chuck Norris?

Therefore, Meddler Evers, why don't you just shut your pie-hole.

Remove white protestors from black neighborhoods.

If you did that, would there be enough blacks willing to break and burn?

From what I have seen of all the recent riot videos, the blacks are happy to loot but it is the white trash that does the breaking and burning for them to get in.
