Multiple burned businesses; including a gas station, liquor stores, banks, auto-parts store, and a hair salon, possible more. Multiple shots fired from 3 or more locations. 4 officers injured, 1 of which was rushed to the hospital for a head injury. White people attacked, bricks and bottles are being used as weapons, 1 police vehicle burned, multiple other vehicles burned, and riots. More and more coming up, but here's the just of it all so far.

While #BlackLivesMatter in Milwaukee claim they want equality, the end of racism, and no more oppression. They burn their own city to the ground, attack people simply because they're white, chant Black Power, and call for the death of police.
