I agree. And bringing in the National Guard when the situation has been contained by the police department is overkill. That's good ole Clarke & Walker grandstanding.

Sorry to hear about that on the news. Innocent people are hurt financially and otherwise by these riots. It is, and always has been, about getting a new color tv and liquor. When you see these thugs running out of some looted building, they are not mad about one of their own being killed, they are laughing and having a good old time.

Really a shame and it only strengthens a lot of people's feelings about them.

When the police ordered the people to disperse and the people started throwing rocks and bottles at them, the police should have fired on them. I am deadly serious.

I advice everyone to go to Alex Jones Prison Planet and check out the videos from last nights riot. Very shocking to say the least. It was even worse than it appears. The Police and Fire departments saved an entire area. It's amazing it was not worse. White motorist where singled out by mobs, pursued and attacked. All got away thank God. The hate and racism was horrible.

The media is not showing these videos for whatever reason. They wouldn't be able to hide them for long, everyone will see soon see the truth. Worse than State Fair a few years back and the 4th of July fireworks a few years back, and the Midway Summerfest outburst, and GreekFest, and the Lakefront, and Mayfair and Cruising down Sherman and Capital and Riversplash and on and on. I guess we see a trend here.

Lets not kid ourselves here. This group and we all know who this group is, is terrorizing not just the city of Milwaukee, but out into the suburbs also. Ask yourself why security is on high alert at Mayfair and Bayshore and other malls, why the Lakefront has a Mobile command center for so called crowd control or why Tosa Fest has mass security with check points. It is really pathetic and we are going to have to call this for what it is - Terrorism.

The hatred is quite imminent. There is something else to look at. These are also violent underclass types. Look at the ranks of the KKK, and then look at the ranks of the nuts who pulled off the rioting and violence in Milwaukee. All underclass, all people who have a "live by the sword, die by the sword" mentality.

As for why Milwaukee in particular is seeing this kind of lawlessness, it leaves alot to study.

I have a quick study for you GM. How about the tens of thousands of ex Chicago housing projects residents who departed Chicago in the 70's, 80's and into the early 90's for Milwaukee, Racine, Madison, Kenosha etc. to collect high welfare payments in a place with a much lower cost of living. We received the bottom of barrel, not educated high achievers, but bottom feeders looking for a good handout.

Now should we be surprised at how it turned out? No not really.

Well, now that you have shown that said, I want to mention another side. Why isn't Wisconsin getting the best and brightest of the Black population? Even more, why is Wisconsin experiencing a Black Brain Drain? Why are so many Blacks who attain a college education leave Milwaukee, and very often, the state of Wisconsin altogether? Why does Wisconsin have no problem attracting members of the Black underclass, but struggles to attract the middle class Blacks, the educated Blacks, and in some cases, lose Blacks who are the talented and hardworking??

I didn't read the article but I'm gonna go out on a limb and take a wild guess here and say the guy that was shot did not co-operate with the police. That's how it seems to be 98% of the time whenever the cops shoot somebody, its because the person wasn't co-operating.

It don't matter what color a person is, if you don't co-operate with the cops when you get pulled over, there's a chance you might get shot, because the cops WILL shoot, and that is just a fact.

I'm a 62 year old white male, and if the cops pulled me over, and I acted like was going to go for his gun or attack him, or not co-operate in any kind of way, I think there's a good chance I might get shot.

People make choices and there are consequences for those choices and the person will be held accountable for. Somebody who chooses not to co-operate with the cops, it's nobody's fault but his own if he gets shot. Race has nothing to do with it. Individual free will and individual choices. I dont believe for a minute cops are singling out black males to shoot. They are shooting individuals who don't co-operate.

I'm hardly a big fan of the police. I respect them and I'd hate to live in a city without them, but unless I need them, I don't want them around, and I'm pretty sure the majority of cops feel the same way about me. However when I'm pulled over, I'm always very respectful and polite. It's either that or just make more trouble for myself. That's just how I was raised to be with the police, by my parents and at school we were taught that, too. Nobody ever advised me to run from the cops when stopped or try to fight the cops.

This is it

As a kid growing up there, I remember hearing how people from all over the country whose only goal in life was to live off welfare moved to Milwaukee in droves because other areas started cracking down on welfare "lifers".

If I remember correctly, some politicians discussed/planned it...to get them all in one area.
