Democrats behaving badly: Violence erupts after officer-involved shooting
- Thread starter Tom B
- Start date
this is Soros.
A second night of rioting, looting, arson, and shooting from criminal thugs. The governor needs to pressure the local officials to deploy the national guard which he called up.
When will the reparation talks start?
Just like I always said...
"When you give people too much for free, they're not greatful... they respond by BITCHING that you you didn't give them more and sooner."
We are on the verge of losing sections of our country and seeing them devolve into ungovernable no-go zones, ruled by drug gangs and thugs. It has already happened in several cities, eg Detroit, Chicago, Philly, Baltimore, Newark, LA. Obama and his race hustler supporters seem to want to extend it nationwide.
One need only look at the Olympics and Rio to see where this leads. Or to Acapulco, both formerly world class destinations, now as dangerous as Iraq.

Latest:Milwaukee imposes 10pm curfew.
Yeah, like they are following the other laws against looting, rioting, arson, and shooting.

BLM’s Senseless Destruction of Milwaukee
Violence showcases movement for lawlessness and mayhem, not concern for anyone's lives

The rampant destruction that erupted in Milwaukee’s north side over the weekend is just the latest violent outburst that makes it clear that — despite any pretense of being a civil rights group — the Black Lives Matter movement is more accurately an anti-order, anti-police force for destruction.
Soon after news of the police shooting of Sylville Smith, a young black male, became public, Black Lives Matter activists on social media stoked anger and frustration in Milwaukee’s black community that first led to protest and rapidly descended into a full-scale riot.
BLM has “stoked hysteria across this country over the lie that black men are being hunted down by white police officers,” Bishop E. W. Jackson told Fox News Sunday. “A mass hysteria has taken grip … [They are] using race as a way of avoiding responsibility,” Jackson added.
In a repeat of other recent instances of alleged police brutality, social media sparked massive outrage before any actual details emerged on the incident. The myth of an innocent black man killed at the hands of a racist white police officer sparked the Milwaukee riots — but details have since emerged that suggest man was not innocent. And he did not die at the hands of a white police officer.
The victim — or, more accurately, perpetrator — was reportedly shot while pointing a handgun at a police officer. The police officer who shot him was also black. Nevertheless, marching lockstep to the music of the racial grievance industry, young agitators ran amok.
The complete chaos saw at least six buildings burn down — because nothing sticks it to The Man like burning down one's own community. "I have insurance, but you have a lot of creditors you owe money to, so it's just a sad, sad day in Milwaukee," the owner of one of the damaged businesses, A to Z Wholesale, told a local Fox affiliate. "I'm broken-hearted."
"I'm a wholesaler of soda and juice. I deal with a lot of these gas stations. The one they burned down on Sherman and Burleigh — that's one of my best customers," the man said. "The gas station is devastated. Obviously it's a total loss. That's a business owner who was making an honest living, and now the gas station is reduced to nothing."
In addition to destroying their own community, rioters also threw rocks and bricks at police officers, as well as journalists — some of whom were also physically attacked by protesters. There were reports of gunshots, while video footage shows rioters shouting "black power" as a gas station burns behind them.
Of course, if black lives truly mattered to the rioters and those who cheered them on from the safety of social media, they would have probably protested — peacefully — after each of the deaths of the almost 150 black murder victims in Milwaukee in 2015. If they truly cared about their community, they wouldn't burn it down.
But it is becoming increasingly difficult to pretend that the Black Lives Matter movement holds the promise of anything other than violence and destruction. CNN did its best to attribute a peaceful element to the protests on Monday morning by featuring one of Smith's sisters calling for peace. "Don't bring that violence here," said Kimberly Neal, one of Smith's sisters.
Despite CNN's selective editing, Neal was not calling for peace — she was calling for peace in black neighborhoods and requesting that rioters instead target the white community for violence. "Burning down sh*t ain't going to help nothing," she continued. "Y'all burning down sh*t we need in our community. Take that sh*t to the suburbs. Burn that sh*t down. We need our weave."
It appears some may have taken her calls for violence against white people to heart, as video footage has emerged from the riots which appears to show rioters hunting white people for sport.
"How do you expect to get a positive outcome from this type of negativity and destruction?" the owner of A to Z asked. "I'm looking at an entire gas station being burnt down. I'm looking at somebody has to go to work tomorrow and their bus shelter is face down on the ground. From here to that corner to that corner. What did we prove? What did we accomplish?"

When Police Are Poor Role Models for One Another
In one incident mentioned in the report, a Justice Department investigator went on a patrol with a sergeant. The sergeant saw a group of young black men on a street corner and told an officer to order them to leave. The officer said he had no reason to do so. “Make something up,” the sergeant replied.
That the sergeant would do this in front of a federal official investigating civil rights violations may be astounding, but it demonstrated his mind-set. He didn’t think he was doing anything wrong. He must have been in the department for years and had probably been taught to take such action by his field training officer, and even the department’s commanders. It was learned behavior, part of a culture rooted in an “us versus them” mentality.
When the Police Department declared, as the report noted, that an officer did not use excessive force when he discharged a Taser into an 85-pound girl who was walking away from him after he told her to take her hands out of her pockets, officers saw that such action was permissible.
I learned, bitterly, during my almost six years in the department, how hard it was to resist this culture, to do the right thing.
