Kenosha, Wisconsin has been a living Hell for days.
It started with the release of footage showing the shooting of an African-American suspect, Jacob Blake, who was resisting arrest and carrying a knife.
What ensued was the predictable chaos of Antifa, BLM, etc, storming the town rioting and committing violence.
Rioters even surrounded Law Enforcement Vehicles.
From Yahoo:
Rioters brandishing AR-style weapons surrounded an armored SWAT vehicle in Kenosha, Wis. as unrest broke out in the city Sunday night following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man.
In footage posted by reporter Drew Hernandez, a group of protestors can be seen blocking the path of a sheriff’s department armored vehicle.
One of the armed men yells “get me a gas mask” and someone in the crowd says “they’re gonna deploy” before officers throw tear gas grenades to make way for the police vehicle."
Rioters were also hurling bricks and attempting to seriously injure Law Enforcement Officers.
From the NY Post:
A Wisconsin police officer apparently was knocked out by a brick as an angry mob cheered and shouted “F–k the police” during riots in Kenosha, according to a viral video.
The footage shows a handful of cops trying to help a Kenosha police vehicle leaving the area as it is mobbed by dozens of people Sunday night during riots sparked by the police-custody shooting of Jacob Blake.
As one officer walks away from where a Molotov cocktail appears to have been thrown, he suddenly collapses forward onto his face, as seen in the video viewed more than 1.8 times in the first 12 hours.
“He just got bricked! He just got bricked!” someone close to the cameraman screams, as others in the mob cheer, clap and shout, “F–k the police!”
Shouts of “Officer down!” are heard on the police scanner, the Kenosha News said, as his colleagues rush over and try to drag him to safety.
The violence erupted after protesters first gathered at the scene where Blake, 29, was shot several times in the back by a police officer as he tried to get into his car with his kids.
Protesters soon clashed with officers dressed in riot gear, who occasionally used their shields and batons to push people back.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Sunday night condemned the arrest in which Blake was “shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight.”
“While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country,” he wrote."
Yes indeed, folks!
Racism is the crisis at hand!
Not the destruction of Ever's communities.
Not the men on the front lines getting bashed with bricks.
Gotta love that right to "Peaceably Assemble and Bash In the Heads of Your Fellow Citizens."
