He probably had a 9mm under the front seat, and was known to LEO.

Even if he didn’t, he may have.

When he tried to reach into the vehicle, he committed suicide.

#FDM FactsDon’tMatter. First lie out wins the race. And the POS gov is pumping gas on to the fire decrying the plight of the neighborhood and the evil LEOs randomly shooting folks for no reason.

“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.””

Watched it unfold live stream last night and on the scanner: 1) The man shot had an open warrant for arrest for assault, he resisted arrest, was tapered and kept going into his car. The shooting looks bad but may have been justified. There was a gun in the car.

2) Later in the night at the shooting scene with riot police at the house and a mob outside vandalizing patrol cars a female officer attempted to secure a weapon in one patrol car and drive it away. Mob blocks the car and throws two Molotov cocktails at the car to burn her. Two officers come to her aid and one is hit in the head with a brick and nocked unconscious. Female office exits car with weapon drawn to protect officer down. Riot police move forward to push crowd back. Swat car arrives to pick up injured officer and rush him away to the hospital. Do not know his condition.

3) Several hundred people after marching reach the downtown police station and threaten officers. Takes a while for riot police to deploy with two officers on roof with rifles heard on scanner. After a bearcat arrives and tear gas deployed dispersing mob an idiot with an H-bar AR-15 type rifle confronts the police line. One other person is seen also with a rifle. Some comment they were boogola boys.

4) Hours later this same idiot with a rifle attempts to block a police bearcat from reaching the court house with a fire set next to it. He blocks the bearcat and tonts the police. The second person with a rifle also shows up. Tear gas is deployed and the bear cat makes it through. Later another fire is set on the court house itself and riot police put that fire out. Fire trucks never arrive or deploy. Gunfire is heard later and scanner reports shots fired as the bearcat takes fire. Cold have been from the idiots with the rifles.

5) Dump trucks and garbage trucks were set up in the street to bloke rioters near a park across from the court house. Rioters set at least 5 of these vehicles on fire. Watched them do it with explosive devices and they laughed about it. Made me sick to watch it and nobody do a dam thing.

6) The live streamer is usually at Portland Oregon riots every night and is an ANTIFA supporter. He was on is way to Washington D.C. and diverted to Kenosha when he heard about the shooting knowing there would be riots. They have been rioting in Portland for @90 days straight every night. This idiots was giving instructions to the mob as he streamed in Kenosha because he is a professional rioter and the Kenosha mob was not a professional rioter like he was. He called out police tactics and how to expects and react to tear gas, when and how officers would deploy. Made me sick to watch it unfold live.

***Can't believe this is America and the country I love. Social media is destroying the fabric of our nation We do to know all the circumstances of the shooting and the mob is roused to react instantly. Yet democrat Governors and Mayors let this happen over and over. Three months straight in Portland with ANTIFA marching through neighborhoods every night and the local DA not prosecuting them encouraging lawlessness. I pray for our nation as this all keeps getting worse because of the flames fanned by fake news and instant carnage from social media.

Evers is a particularity vile radical Democrat - on assuming office he announced that he was not going to obey any Wisconsin law nor abide by its Constitution.

Changing is appellation from “radical Democrat” to “DEMONCRAP” obscures and lowers the value of what he really is, which is just playing into their hands., tuning off the very voters we want to vote him and all the others out of office, in fact, such a name even gives him the sympathy factor.

“There was a gun in the car.” #factsdon’tmatter. From Mark Twain: “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot(s).”

This bullshit happens every night in America and the news either does not report it or they lie about it, distort the truth, leave out critical information or only provide some of the details and always covering up for the rioters, looters, mob, BLM, ANTIFA, criminals. I don’t know how the idiots with the rifles confronting police did not get lit up and shot. Police showed extreme restraint and must have been ordered to stand down.

Yeah I was thinkin’ head shot but guess they had orders. IF the msm covers anything it will be the innocent unarmed dude shot by evil LEO for no reason.

After Trump wins the election, he has nothing else to lose. Don’t worry about 2022. Just call in the National Guard and end this domestic terrorism. They have probably been training for this for months now.

I went to read news reports and every news outlet is distorting the facts as presented by Google, or Google is blocking the truthful ones and only showing the half truths, omissions, or out right lying reports. And they get away with it and sway public opinion.

In one video posted that was not live streamed shows the idiot in the red shirt and long hair with the rifle move to the back of the bearcat as it rolled forward and he briefly raises the muzzle of the rifle at the bearcat expecting officers to exit the rear. He should have been shot just for doing that. Hope he is later identified and arrested.

This is where good intelligence, and a sniper team comes in handy.

Canoe the heads of the antifa field marshals from half a zip code away and the riots effectively stop.

Also target their “medics”, and those with video cameras.

And IMO, members of antifa have forfeited their rights when they took up arms against the United States.

How do you know there was a gun in the car?
Just wondering.

It was reported by a video streamer, but has not been confirmed by the authorities or any news briefing or news outlet. The officers tried to pull him from the car and fired after he reached in under the dash. I admit that I can not say for certain a gun was in the car.

Thank you for the clarification.

Please be careful about stating unconfirmed info as fact—a declarative statement i.e., “There was a gun in car.”

...Sometimes I forward threads to people, and I wondered about firearm as no one reported it at the time and I listened to WLIP—local Kenosha radio station, and they didn’t mention that either.

I lived in Kenosha for years, so I am trying to follow the story.

Hoping the The facts/truth will be revealed—and soon.

Thanks again.

I understand and agree completely. I should have stated it was unconfirmed about the weapon.

Everything else that I posted I witnessed live as it occurred from multiple streamers on YouTube that night. My wife's family are Polish and German and from Milwaukee.

Not one news outlet reported that night that before the officer was hit with brick in the head and nocked unconscious there were two Molotov cocktails thrown at the patrol car the female officer was trying to remove from the area. She drew her weapon to protect the officer down.

Made me sick to watch Kenosha go up in flames last night again. Dam Governor needs more National Guard on the street. Kenosha is a small town and I would bet that most of the destruction is coming from people who do not live there.

I heard/read somewhere that when the Wisconsin DOJ takes over a case, the entire crime scene is shut down...so local police cars had to stay as they were parked...and became targets for the rioters.

This uprising particularly breaks my heart...I lived in K-town for over 10 years...Felt safe; one of my children born there. It was a nice place when we lived there...kids played T-ball, baseball, learned to swim, played soccer, football, basketball, went to preschool, elementary school, and middle school...attended school until Jr.High...Sad what has happened :( But glad I am in what for now is a safer town.
