1 person shot, multiple arrests in Milwaukee after a second night of unrest

[TexasTowelie]

Police said one person was shot at a Milwaukee protest on Sunday evening and officers used an armored vehicle to retrieve the injured victim during a second night of unrest over the police shooting of a black man.

Police say they made multiple arrests following skirmishes between protesters and police but without the widespread destruction of property that marked the first night after the man's death. The number of arrests was not immediately known.

Some two dozen officers in riot gear confronted a group who were throwing rocks and other objects at police near where the black man was fatally shot a day earlier. Police moved in to try to disperse the crowd and warned of arrests.

Local television showed police forming a line and using shields to deflect the objects. One police officer fell to the ground after apparently being hit by one of the objects and was moved away by fellow officers. Police also said an injured officer was taken to hospital after a rock broke the windshield of a squad car.

1. Living in Milwaukee while being Black...

Everyone knows Kochwalkerstan no longer allows protest in any form. Also, there is nothing they like better than exerting their authority in full riot gear. ESPECIALLY in Milwaukee. They also like throwing singing grandmas out of the Capital. It all works for them.

2. A tad more than a protest

The city was freaking on fire! Are you kidding me? I feel the police response was appropriate.
