There's no winning here. Where is the RULE OF LAW?
(Somehow you just knew he was going to have a bright future)
Oh...and 99 out of 100 rioters couldn't tell you his name.

Another "saint" with a long rap sheet carrying a stolen gun, ordered to drop it, and wouldn't. So now, if the thugs are armed or not it doesn't matter. The new code of conduct is what?
The cops have to hold off unless they're shot at first?

The incident occurred in one of the city's most impoverished, and predominantly African-American, neighborhoods. And you can bet your predominantly bottom dollar that's where the crime is going to be. They don't call it the "hood" for nothing. Blacks are shot for a reason. Not because of racism. But because they commit the vast majority of the crimes. As I said a million times before. They're never doing anything wrong but for some strange reason they wind up getting shot. Which is fine in the black community... unless they're shot by a cop.
This happened on July 25th
Still waiting for BLM to show up.

Violence has erupted overnight in the US city of Milwaukee after a police officer shot and killed an armed man in an African-American community.
Protesters hurled bricks and fired gunshots at police cars and set a gas station on fire.
The violence came hours after the patrol officer shot and killed the 23-year-old a pursuit that followed a traffic stop.
Milwaukee police said a uniformed officer had opened fire while chasing the man.
Neither the race of the suspect nor the officer were disclosed by authorities, though the dead man's age was given as 23.
The incident occurred in one of the city's most impoverished, and predominantly African-American, neighborhoods.

The suspect, who the department said had a lengthy arrest record, was armed with a stolen handgun.
It did not say whether the man fired any shots during the incident. Mayor Tom Barrett said the gun was loaded with 23 rounds.
A crowd later broke the windows of an unoccupied squad car and set another one on fire before setting a gas station ablaze.
"Our city is in turmoil tonight," said Alderman Ashanti Hamilton, president of the Milwaukee Common Council.
Authorities believe fires were set at a total of three locations, the mayor said, and firefighters were initially unable to combat the blazes because of shots being fired .
A gas station was set on fire during a night of violence
The disturbances were the latest in a series of protests that have gripped U.S. cities - including Baton Rouge, Dallas, Ferguson, Missouri, New York and Oakland - over the past two years in the wake of killings by law enforcement officers.
All of the previous incidents involved young African-American males, giving rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.
"This is a warning cry," said Alderman Khalif Rainey. "Black people of Milwaukee are tired. They are tired of living under this oppression."
Firefighters were battling a second large blaze at an auto parts store near the scene. A local NBC affiliate also aired video of firefighters at bank where smoke was rising out of its front window.
The identity of the armed suspect shot dead has not yet been released
One officer was hit in the head by a brick thrown through a squad car window. Protesters fired shots and hurled rocks as police attempted to disperse the crowd, which local media reported numbered more than 100.
Three arrests were made in the city in connection with the unrest, said Assistant Police Chief James Harpole, adding that multiple gunshots were fired from various locations during the disturbances.
Police cars have also been shot at in the city
The officer involved in the shooting of the suspect was on administrative duty during the investigation and subsequent review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
Milwaukee Police Assistant Chief Bill Jessup told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it was not clear if the suspect pointed the gun or fired at the officers.
"Those additional facts will come out in the coming days," Jessup was quoted as saying.
