WATCH: Gunshots Ring Out as Armed Rioters Confront Police in Wisconsin
Breitbart ^ | August 23, 2020 | Dylan Gwinn

Posted on 08/24/2020 7:58:25 AM PDT by MagillaX

Armed rioters shut down streets in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Sunday night as the city fell into chaos after a police-involved shooting earlier in the evening.

A large group of rioters – including at least two armed rioters – blocked a police armored car from proceeding down a street. After a standoff, the police began throwing tear gas canisters from the top of the vehicle to disperse the crowd. Moments later, gunshots rang out after one of the protesters appeared to open fire.

God sees the truth and waits

The hard-core Marxist left has no idea what they’re in for , if we ever get pissed and a half to go after that

We citizenry are great and wonderful president Donald J Trump and the law-enforcement community all know that these Marxist want us to shoot them right now

Look at what happens when even a violent perpetrator , who deserves to be shot, gets shot By our grade in brave law enforcement

Five seconds later , we have full scale riots in a little Kenosha Wisconsin

The battle is for , and I hate to use the term “peaceful protesters”

the millions and millions and millions of your typical Democrat do gooders - they want to march peacefully for racial justice or whatever

The hard-core Marxist burning looting rioting violent thugs out there thens these people off and also turn them off to the Democrat masters

If even one “peaceful protester” is shot by law-enforcement or law kids stayed it would be a game changer at this point

We are armed and trained in citizenry know this and know this well

“Was he under direct police order to stand still?”

What a country we live in. I feel safer now knowing that I’m in a police state.

Now if we get a Biden or Harris in there, the police will round up conservatives into the camps or shoot them for not holding still or refusing their vaccines or other orders.

Kamala Harris was a prosecutor and I’m sure she would have no problem with this sort of conduct as long as its against the right opponent.

Remember the Milgrim experiment. People readily follow unethical orders to kill.

I thought due process and civil rights used to unite the country. I guess not.

Now it’s Achtung! Stillstehen!

>>George Floyd was a good example. The cop kneeling on him looked bad, but I am told its something these cops are taught in training - and its not what killed Floyd. a bad heart and a fentanyl overdose did. the initial video also didn’t show the long struggle while he resisted.

And Rodney King, where the media only showed the beating with nothing leading up to it in order to incite riots.

and Trayvon Martin where the media did not mention that Trayvon was committing attempted murder when he was shot, and showed a middle school photo of the perp to incite riots.

or Michael Brown, where the media knowing lied about the whole “hands up don’t shoot” B.S. in order to incite riots.

I think there might be a pattern here.

Letting the suspect going back into the car was a good idea and a part of police protocol, right?

Maybe he needed to get his ID, the cops couldn’t do that either.

Wait to cuff him after he goes back into his car.

Thanks for the tips on police procedure. Now I understand.

This country is really screwed up.

“ Considering the cops were there to arrest that guy on a felony warrant, and that he has a long and violent rap sheet, the cops had no idea what he was reaching for (or going to do) in his car.”

Apparently, the guy also had a history of gun violence against law enforcement.

What’s really screwed up is mindless kneejerk reactions to police behavior such as yours.

There is nothing the police did that would be considered contrary to protocol with what we presently know. Wait until more is understood and if it is shown that they did something unwarranted, THEN go on a tirade.

Look at this...

Police: K9 Dozer Helps Subdue Man Who Pulled Gun at Bar

Jacob Blake Named as Man Shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin Police Shooting-Heavy 5 Fast Facts

...and this.

Here's one frame (image) and a link to the video of what just happened in Kenosha. See how the police and another person jump away from the suspect on the other side of vehicle, right after the camera zooms in (video). The police draw their weapons as they back away from the suspect. Notice what might be a weapon, as the suspect walks around the front of the vehicle (image).

I agree, its terrible to watch this happen in the open and nothing done. I’m afraid for the Republic, for my children and grand kids. Democrats are vile and evil. Satan is smiling.

Never mind the stupidity of merely shooting at an armored car with small arms in the first place.

If the rioters aim their guns at the police the police need to mow them down as they do the old man at home watching TV when they break his door down at 2 AM and say his remote looked like a gun.

Methinks we have past that, “awkward stage.”

Sometimes one must fight the urge to attempt to translate gibberish, it grows worse daily, a few years back I would wonder just what such a post might have meant to the one who posted it but now I assume that he himself did not know what he meant. Maybe I flatter myself but I suspect that I grow wiser with age. I am losing the conviction that some people are wise in thought but simply have a problem in expressing their wise thoughts in an easily understood message.

The phrase I truly despise now is, “You know what I mean.” I am apt to respond with, “If you know what you mean why don’t you just say it?” Yes, I’m a grouch but at least I know it.

I agree.

Think about all that they've tried on president Trump.

Does anyone think they'll allow him to be sworn in again....even if it's a landslide.

Just get ready.

He was shot reaching into his car. From what I have read there was a warrant out on him. The police may have been attempting an arrest which he resisted (peacefully or not, I don’t know). For some reason the police did have guns out so I am inclined to think he made some threats (he was a violent felon). The police had no way of knowing what he was reaching for but it was reasonable to assume it was a weapon.

Until the ME report comes out it is not even accurate to say he was shot in the back. He very well could have been turning towards the officer. Everyone thinks video is going to tell the whole story. It doesn’t.

Are you wanted on an active warrant? Do you have a known history as a violent felon? So how likely is it that you will just randomly for no reason be told to stand still by the police? If you are just randomly ordered to do so you can be sure it is to protect the officer, yourself, and others. Even if you do not perceive any threat from your behavior a cop may do so.

Being told to stand still is not a violation of your civil rights or a failure of due process. What follows after may or may not be. Even so it would be better to shut your mouth, go along, call your lawyer, and get to live another day.

I think since they had a warrant on him they pretty much had already identified him. But let’s suppose he needed his I.D. In that case after stopping as told he could have requested being taken to his car so that the officer could get his ID for him. It is routine for police to ask if there are any weapons or drugs in the car so we will assume that was answered in the negative.

Oh and they couldn’t cuff him because he was not obeying the lawful order to stand still. Were they supposed to lasso him?
