Milwaukee Turned Into a War Zone, Armoured Vehicles Extracting Wounded (Video)
MILWAUKEE — A FOX6 News crew was on scene at Milwaukee Police Department District 7 Sunday night, August 14th after a group confronted police at that location. Officers were in riot gear. As of about midnight, the National Guard had NOT been deployed on the streets of Milwaukee. The second straight night of violent protests appeared to be winding down by about 2:00 a.m.
From District 7, the group moved to the area near Sherman and Burleigh. As of 10:50 p.m., Milwaukee police said officers were moving in to disburse the crowd after people began throwing objects and firing shots.
One shooting victim was rushed to the hospital from the scene just after 11:00 p.m.
Police say an 18-year-old man was shot and suffered a serious injury. He was taken by armored vehicle to a hospital. It happened around 11:00 p.m.
MPD is investigating.
Additionally, early Monday, police said an officer was taken to the hospital after a rock thrown near Sherman & Burleigh broke a squad car’s windshield.
The turbulent weekend prompted Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to declare a state of emergency on Sunday.
Earlier that evening residents had gathered to mourn Smith as his family and friends held a candlelight vigil at the site of Saturday’s shooting in a residential area of North Milwaukee. At one point, the crowd chanted “ready for war,” followed by a a chant of “peace, peace, peace.”
Smith’s sister, Sherelle Smith, condemned violence carried out in her brother’s name, saying the community needs those businesses.
“Don’t bring that violence here,” Neal said, sobbing as she lamented that she would never be able to again hug her brother.
Residents also came into the streets with trash bags, brooms and shovels to sweep up the debris from burnt down businesses.
Tensions on Sunday gave way to prayers as activists gathered to call for peace.
A group of about 100 gathered at the park near a BP gas station that was burned during Saturday’s protests. Crowds ebbed and flowed at the station throughout Sunday; as night fell, community and church leaders led a prayer circle and spoke of a community that needs healing from ongoing “racism, injustices and oppression.”
What happened in the shooting
The incident near 44th and Auer Saturday began when a pair of police officers stopped Smith and another person in a car on Saturday about 3:30 p.m., police said. The men fled the car and the officers followed, shooting Smith in the arm and chest when he failed to put his gun down, Barrett said.
The handgun, along with 500 rounds of ammunition, were stolen during a burglary in nearby Waukesha in March, police said.
Officer-involved shooting near 44th & Auer
Police body camera footage showed Smith holding a handgun during the encounter, Barrett said at a Sunday news conference. Police said the officer shot Smith after he failed to comply with orders to put his gun down. His gun was loaded with 23 rounds, more than the officer was carrying.
Smith died at the scene, and the officer who fired the fatal shots was not injured. The unidentifed officer is 24 years old and has six years of service with the Milwaukee Police Department — three as an officer. He will be placed on administrative duty during an investigation.
The shooting occurred near the location of an August 9 double homicide in which a man was shot dead and another was fatally stabbed, police said.
Smith’s sister, Kimberly Neal, remembered a brother who “kept it real,” a high school graduate who played basketball, a contrast to “the man with a lengthy arrest record” described by police.
“He should have been tased, if anything,” she said. “We want everybody to feel our pain.”
Although the National Guard was activated in response to the unrest, it will not be deployed unless authorized by Milwaukee police chief Edward Flynn, Barrett said. By state law, the Wisconsin Department of Justice will lead the investigation.
‘Racial problems’ in Milwaukee
City Alderman Khalif Rainey said the area has been a “powder keg” for potential violence throughout the summer.
“What happened tonight may not have been right and I am not justifying that but no one can deny the fact that there are problems, racial problems in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that need to be rectified,” Rainey said. “This community of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has become the worst place to live for African-Americans in the entire country.”
Rainey said Saturday’s violence was a byproduct of inequities, injustice, unemployment and under-education.
“Something has to be done to address these issues,” he said. “The black people of Milwaukee are tired; they are tired of living under this oppression, this is their life.”
Milwaukee mayor on Sunday said that the damage from Saturday’s unrest was “unlike anything I’ve seen,” he said. “I hope I never see it again.” ”A young man lost his life yesterday afternoon. And, no matter what the circumstances, his family must be hurting.”

The Sherman Park area where this violence occurred used to be a really nice upscale neighborhood with beautiful homes when I was younger. It was a safe, clean community until the riff-raff took over and destroyed it. Same thing happened with Detroit, Chicago and other American cities (usually run by commiecrat Dems. The blacks have no one to blame but themselves for their environment. As far as being oppressed and under-educated, most blacks can go to college for free while white students have to take out loans. So, if these blacks are uneducated, whose fault is that? I’m sick to death of blacks blaming white people for all of their woes.
The black guy that was shot was pointing a gun at a police officer…how smart is that? What do you think would happen to anyone who pointed a gun at a cop? Duh. More collateral damage stemming from that muslim, commie homo in the WH.
Now tell me what religions they follow.
Selfism, Elekwense, what else?
Oh you meant not Islam, silly me, i guess there’s just no shortage of miscreants which is a pity considering what we most need are more lerts. Be alert.
The young man pointed a gun at the officer, he knew or should have known the consequences of such. He also had a stolen weapon and one must ask was he party to those that broke in and stole the guns ? The sister wants the officer to tazer him, how close do you think the officer would have to be to do such, and why should he when a gun is pointed at him. The majority of blacks are smarter then most give credit, for they did not participate in the looting, and burning, they know that this in nothing more then a group of thugs that say they represent the community, when in reality they most likely are not from the area, but sent and paid to bring about what we saw and they saw. This is a divide and conquer that has been going on for decades, and the PTB want a race war so bad they can taste it. Let us all regardless of race and more stand united and tackle this problem together, This snake has a head and together we can chop it off and end this divide and conquer crap. That half ass black piece of excrement in the white house is not the black mans or the white mans friend, he is your enemy, he sells us all down the river and must and should be removed. While he is not the head of the snake, he sure is hell a part of the body. This is all part of a plan and is meant to start the people fighting one another so they exhaust their ammo, food, water, weapons, energy and are tired and weekend for them to come in and make their kill, do not fall for it. Piss on Satan, piss on the NWO piss on all of those evil pieces of excrement that work for it and him.
I suggest Blacks try voting for Trump.
Expecting a different result while doing the same old thing will never happen.
This article mentioned (several times by several people) that blacks are being suppressed, without saying how.
We can Make this Country Great Again, if all races will take responsibility for their own actions, and honor the God this Nation was formed to worship.
Or else cause a civil war and loose everything to a foreign country.
These are the same IDIOTS that throw their trash out their cars after going through a drive through fast-food place and then they demand our tax paying money to do it with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find it kind of odd that you left out the part about the sister saying not to tear “their” stuff up but to attack the white suburbs!!! What’s that about? Seems you try to paint her as some peaceful grieving loved one when in fact she is calling for racially motivated violence against whites!!! Lie and distort much?
If you notice there is a source at the bottom of the article listed. I’m sure you missed it while you were trying to be Super Truther.
