‘They’re Beating Every White Person’: Riots, Fires After Fatal Shooting Sparks Chaos In Milwaukee
August 14, 2016 By Olaf Eckberg, The American Mirror
Race agitators in Milwaukee used the police shooting of an unarmed armed black man to burn down their city and attack white people.
Several videos show white drivers being stopped in the middle of the street and the “protesters” attempting to pull them out of their vehicles.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker activated the National Guard on Sunday afternoon, hours after a gas station was set on fire and other businesses were torched by demonstrators protesting a controversial shooting by police.
Walker said he took the step after receiving a request from Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and talking with Mayor Tom Barrett and the Guard's leader. The Guard will be in position to help "upon request," according to Walker's announcement.
Walker also praised citizens who showed up Sunday to clean up the north-side neighborhood where the violence took place. He called for "continued peace and prayer."
The clashes and rioting erupted after a Milwaukee police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Saturday night during a foot chase on the city’s north side.
City leaders pleaded for calm after the violence erupted, with Barrett imploring parents of anyone at the scene to "get them home right now" after at least four businesses burned and one officer was hurt.
At a news conference just after midnight, Barrett said the situation appeared to be calming after a riotous scene in which as many as 100 protesters skirmished with police, torching a squad car and tossing a brick through the window of another. Police mounted at least two efforts to push the protesters out of an intersection at the heart of the violence.
