Milwaukee
madness: White people 'hunted' for attacks, Rioters chant 'black power' in night full of violence, by Joe
Kovacs, 8/14/16, WND
Crowds of “Black Lives
Matter” rioters chanted “black power” as they targeted white individuals for
violence in Milwaukee late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, according
to video posted online in the aftermath of a police shooting. The video posted by Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars shows rioters asking, “Is they white?” as cars
drive slowly by.
“Yeah they white!” states someone else, prompting the mob to run towards the vehicle. “Yeah they white, get their a–!” screams another. “Hey they beatin’ up every white person!” exclaims another rioter. “He white – beat his head – b-tch!” he adds.
The nighttime footage
appears to show cars being attacked by the mob, even to the point of trying to
drag out the drivers. The video jumps to an upper floor window when the person
recording the video states, “I think they just beat some white bitch ass for no
reason – they bust open the window.”
The Drudge Report ran
the headline: “Whites hunted for beat-downs! Milwaukee’s night of shame.” Reactions online include
syndicated columnist Ben Shapiro, who tweeted: “We have reached the point of
insanity when police shoot an armed suspect, we have no other facts yet, and
riots ensue anyway.”
Talk-radio host Dan
O’Donnell of WISN tweeted: “Friday: 5 people murdered in #Milwaukee. Yawn.
Saturday: Armed suspect with stolen gun refuses orders to drop it, cop shoots
him. RIOTS!!!”
Popular commentator Milo
Yiannopolous said: “Democrats call Conservatives crazy and dangerous, then
light gas stations on fire and beat white people for their skin color.”
“This #BlackPower
movement is a disgrace to the black community, as exemplified in #Milwaukee,”
he added. Author Dan Gainor
tweeted: “U.S. media have done everything they can to incite nationwide rioting
and blame cops at every turn.”
The violence erupted
just hours after a Milwaukee police officer shot and killed an armed suspect
with a “lengthy criminal record” who was carrying an illegal firearm that had
been used in a burglary. The officer who fatally shot the suspect is black,
sources told the Journal Sentinel. Numerous fires were set
throughout Saturday night, including to local businesses and a gas station, as
well as police cars.
The Journal Sentinel reported the crowd turned on and chased reporters and a photographer from the newspaper, and that one reporter “was shoved to the ground and punched.”
Gov. Scott Walker
activated the National Guard on Sunday after a request from Sheriff David
Clarke to help calm any further unrest.
Mayor Tom Barrett said
some of participants in the mayhem encouraged others via social media to join
in the disturbance. He pleaded with parents to rein in their children.
“Our police officers are
doing everything they can to restore order,” he said. “If you love your son, if
you love your daughter, text them, call them, pull them by their ears, get them
home
A news conference was held featuring local Aldermen Russell W.
Stamper II and Khalif Rainey, who lamented the state of affairs with black
Milwaukeeans. Rainey called the
region of the shooting a “powder keg,” implying that downtown could be the site
of more violence if issues facing African-Americans were not addressed.
“This entire community
has sat back and witnessed how Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has become the worst place
to live for African-Americans in the entire country,” Rainey said. “Now this is
a warning cry. Where do we go from here? Where do we go as a community from
here? “Do we continue – continue with the inequities, the injustice, the
unemployment, the under-education, that creates these byproducts that we see
this evening? … The black people of Milwaukee are tired. They’re tired of
living under this oppression. This is their existence. This is their life. This
is the life of their children.
“Now what has happened
tonight may have not been right; I’m not justifying that. But no one can deny
the fact that there’s problems, racial problems, here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
that have to be closely, not examined, but rectified. Rectify this immediately.
Because if you don’t, this vision of downtown, all of that, you’re one day
away. You’re one day away.”

Police shooting in
Milwaukee sparks violent protest, Update , 8/14/16, CBS News
MILWAUKEE - A crowd of protesters skirmished with police Saturday
night in a Milwaukee neighborhood where an officer shot and killed a man after
a traffic stop and foot chase earlier in the day, setting fire to a police car
and torching a gas station. One officer was hurt by a thrown brick.
Police said the 23-year-old man was
armed with a handgun. Mayor Tom Barrett said the officer ordered the suspect to
drop the weapon, but he refused. The officer then shot the suspect twice,
Barrett said, adding that the officer was wearing a body camera.
Assistant Chief Bill Jessup told the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it wasn't immediately clear whether the man had
pointed a gun or fired at the officer. They described the man as a suspect, but
didn't say what led to the traffic stop. The races of the man and the officer
weren't immediately released.
Police with shields and helmets
moved slowly into an intersection after 11 p.m., telling a crowd of about 50
people to disperse. Protesters threw rocks and other debris at police, who held
up their shields. At least two bus shelters had been thrown into the street,
with their glass shattered.
Protesters also began throwing
objects at a business a half-block from the intersection. A nearby traffic
light was bent over. Police tweeted that shots had been fired and at least
arrests were made.
