KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Illinois police arrested a juvenile Wednesday after two people were shot to death during another night of Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
White men storm State Capitals armed to the teeth yelling at police - met with restraint and support.
Black and brown people peacefully protesting in the streets yelling at police - met with tear gas.
In other widely circulating video, police can be seen tossing bottled water from an armored vehicle to what appear to be armed civilians walking the streets. One of the civilians appears to be the gunman who later shot protesters.
“We appreciate you being here,” an officer is heard saying to the group over a loudspeaker.
This is the “quiet part out loud” that makes POC fear and loathe LEO.
There is a real problem with how the media is handling this.
From almost everything I have read, everything I have read in the title and first paragraphs of the article, it sounds like the shooter was a Black person or at least a Black Lives Matter supporter.
The headlines and the start of articles about the people killed in Kenosha, if the media wants the truth to be known by the American people, needs to make it clear the victims were protesters for Black Lives Matter and the murderer was a Trumpee.
Note that Trump has stated he will crackdown on the protestors. Of course the murderer is a right wing terrorist that supports the police. The crackdown will instead be on the protestors being targeted by these pro-Trump terrorist “Fine People”.
Gut-wrenching. And the part about police handing out water to the vigilantes makes me want to scream.
Has anyone checked on the pet population in this kid’s neighborhood? If you go into this situation with a gun like this kid did you are simply shouting your desire to kill somebody to the world.
“We will NOT stand for looting, arson, violence, and lawlessness on American streets,” Trump tweeted. “My team just got off the phone with Governor Evers who agreed to accept federal assistance (Portland should do the same!). TODAY, I will be sending federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Kenosha, WI to restore LAW and ORDER!” the president added.
Notice there’s nothing about 17 yr. old white boys shooting indiscriminately into a crowd (murder & mayhem, Donnie).
Not to mention the vigilantes. The kid wasn’t there alone, though he alone chose to murder people. But mentioning white people doesn’t serve Trump’s purposes.
