Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Requests Mobilization Of National Guard…
He saw what happened in Ferguson.
Quote:Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has requested the mobilization of the National Guard in the wake of violence that erupted in the City of Milwaukee late Saturday, August 13th and early Sunday, August 14th.
Clarke made the request after consulting with Gov. Scott Walker and Major Gen. Donald Dunbar of the Wisconsin National Guard.
Clarke said the following in a statement as part of a news release:
“We cannot allow for a repeat of what happened (Saturday) night. I am going to utilize all available resources to accomplish that.”
On Saturday night, violence erupted in the wake of an officer-involved shooting that happened near 44th and Auer on Saturday afternoon.
Protesters burned several stores, including the BP gas station at Sherman and Burleigh, Jet Beauty at 35th and Fond du Lac, BMO Harris Bank at 36th and Fond du Lac, O’Reilly Auto Parts at Fond du Lac and Burleigh and MJM Liquor at Fond du Lac and North — and threw rocks at police on the city’s north side, leaving one officer injured and three protesters arrested. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said protesters had been using social media to draw more demonstrators.
Yup, looting, burning businesses, knocking over light poles and beating up white people (none of which had anything to do with alleged police brutality) is understandable because ‘we’re hurting’.

Lots of people thought Obama was going to give them free houses, free money, free cars, free this free that. How about go get a job. Not everybody is rich kiddo.
Report Milwaukee Police Officer Who Fatally Shot Suspect Is Black, Governor Puts National Guard On Alert…
It will heat up again once the sun goes down.
Quote:The Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot an armed suspect Saturday is black, sources have told the Journal Sentinel.
City and police officials are expected to speak publicly this afternoon about the shooting and rioting that broke out in the surrounding Sherman Park neighborhood afterward.
Earlier Sunday, city and community leaders gathered to discuss the unrest and the underlying concerns of residents. And Gov. Scott Walker activated the Wisconsin National National Guard to assist the Milwaukee Police Department upon request.
Walker said he put the guard on alert after a request from Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. and conferring with Mayor Tom Barrett and Major Gen. Donald Dunbar.
The development came as a sense of calm and order returned to the neighborhood Sunday morning after a night when businesses were torched, cars overturned and set ablaze, and gunfire erupted following the fatal police shooting.
A few hundred people gathered Sunday several blocks south of the shooting site, at the intersection of N. Sherman Blvd and W. Burleigh Ave., where a BP gas station was destroyed by fire. By mid-morning Sunday, the surrounding area was clogged with onlookers, in cars and on foot.
But people had begun amassing hours earlier to begin cleaning up trash.
At one point, volunteers crossed the police tape into the gas station, which was not being guarded by police and started picking up trash. Officers ushered them out and the cleanup continued near the station and in the surrounding blocks.
Mark Hale, 52, who works the third shift at the Hilton hotel downtown, said he was driving home and stopped by on his own to pick up trash.
“Instead of being part of the problem, I wanted to be part of the solution,” he said. “I figured if I started picking up trash, other people might do the same.”
Hale, who is black and his lived in the city his whole life, said he attributed the fires to businesses and squad cars to “a lot of idiots who don’t have jobs and don’t want to have jobs.”
Quote:The alderman said Milwaukee is “the absolute worst place in America for African-Americans to live in the entire country.”
Its interesting that an alderman would say this. Liberal policies have failed African Americans in the majority of large cities in America but they cant figure it out. Only conclusion I can draw is they must really be this stupid. Govt schools success stories.
A thug with a gun got what he deserved for pointing it at the police in the chase. That guy looks like a gang banger with those tattoos on his neck as well.
