Riots and clashes with police have been reported in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, after a man was shot dead by an officer during a chase on foot on Saturday. Police say the victim was armed with a handgun.
Scores of angry African American protesters gathered near the scene of the police shooting at Sherman Boulevard. What at first seemed like a Black Lives Matter-style gathering, however, soon got out of control.
Lots of media here...

CharlesInCharge 08-14-2016 10:51 AM

The police?

320icar 08-14-2016 01:41 PM

In the US it's completely legal to carry a gun.

I just did some Google search to see some news..

I don't get it.

They're complaining about possible racism during the incident. Which is understandable.
But looks like they're just taking this frustration around and burning down business buildings or causing harm to business/people who had nothing to do with this police fatal shooting.

How is this going to solve the problem :fulloffuck:

RRxtar 08-14-2016 08:03 PM

so apparently there is body cam footage of this one

the story im seeing is that it was a BLACK officer who pulled over a car driving erratically. the driver got out, ran a few paces, and turned around pointing a handgun. the guy also has a few priors to his name.


and the dumb ass black kids start hashtagging Blacklivesmatter with Milwaukeeriot and Milwaukeelootcrew.

RRxtar 08-14-2016 08:12 PM

You can be racist against your own race.

It's called Internalized Racism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internalized_racism

Handgun was stolen and he had 500 rounds for it, fled the traffic stop, and has a long rap sheet. This is what Black Lives Matter is attempting to keep in their bubble.

Dumbasses are using this as an excuse to riot.

Some fucking black kid with a gucci hat pointing a gun taking a selfie? I couldn't find an example that emphasizes this stereotype more lmao.

Looks like scumbags are just finding any excuses commit crimes all in the name of blacklivesmatter.

stewie 08-14-2016 10:54 PM

Can't wait to see the body cam footage put on TV so all these retarded rioters can scratch their head saying "we burned down the city for this?".

This is why I can't take these types of people seriously.

Eh there are lots of photos of respectable productive members of society brandishing weapons like they're badasses... We even have members on here who've done that...


Is this the murder where the officers body camera conveniently gets turned off just before he shoots the guy in the back? And then turned back on again afterwards?

Or is this another police shooting... I've lost track

Have you seen the footage?

stewie 08-15-2016 11:31 AM

No, I've not yet seen the footage. But the chief of police made a statement that in the footage that's yet to be released to publuc shows that the kid turned to the cop with the raised gun in hand and that the officer made a credible decision to shoot.

The mayor had not watched the footage, instead seen images from the footage of said suspect with the gun in his hand. Video will be out soon enough.


They're rioting and looting and setting shit on fire. Police have used no force but a 16 year old girl was shot but having non life threatening injuries. There's a shotspotter in the city that listens for gun fire and so far has recorded 48 shot fired....they're only doing damage to themselves.

and how is releasing the tape going to affect the investigation?

The longer they wait the more it seems like they are trying to hide something.

I heard that sweet angel of a child was studying hard and about to turn his life around...

GS8 08-15-2016 06:50 PM


The media has the poor black people by the fucking heart strings and doing nothing for them, only inciting rage. Media will never be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. They fundamentally erode the very nature of our civilization.

The police don't have to release the video. If you were the family of the kid that the COPS rightfully killed, would you want his last moments on tape being of him brandishing a weapon at police officers seen by the American public?

Is it me or does that guy look like lil bow wow? :sweetjesus:
