Deer negroes, try listening to the police when they tell you to stop.
It's too late when they start shooting.

The National Guard has been deployed to Kenosha, Wis., after a night of
civil unrest following the shooting of a Black man by police over the
weekend, the latest incident to unleash widespread anger over policing
practices.

Gov. Tony Evers said the 125 Guard members would be tasked with supporting
local law enforcement in Kenosha by helping to "protect critical
infrastructure and assist in maintaining public safety and the ability of
individuals to peacefully protest."

“I know folks across our state will be making their voices heard in
Kenosha and in communities across Wisconsin. Every person should be able
to express their anger and frustration by exercising their First Amendment
rights and report on these calls to action without any fear of being
unsafe,” he said in a statement. “This is a limited mobilization of the
National Guard focused on supporting the needs of local first responders
to protect critical infrastructure, such as utilities and fire stations,
and to ensure Kenoshians are able to assemble safely.”

The move comes hours after the city became the latest flashpoint in a
nationwide reckoning over police brutality and racial injustice that has
seen violence erupt in multiple cities across the country in recent
months.

On Sunday night, protesters took to the streets after the police shooting
of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man shot in the back. Officers
initially responded to reports of a domestic dispute, the Wisconsin
Department of Justice said.

During riots that mirrored similar unrest in other cities, a car
dealership lot was set ablaze, buildings were vandalized and one officer
was reportedly hit with a brick. The county courthouse and an
administrative building were closed Monday due to vandalism.

A cellphone video recorded by an onlooker appeared to show Blake being
shot multiple times as he leaned into an SUV with his three children
inside.

The man who claimed to have made the video, 22-year-old Raysean White,
told The Associated Press that he saw Blake scuffling with three officers
and heard them yell, “Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" before the gunfire
erupted. He said he didn't see a knife in Blake's hands.

Blake was taken to a hospital and remains in stable condition. The
officers have been put on administrative leave pending an investigation.

In anticipation of more unrest, Kenosha County leaders declared a state of
emergency curfew from 8 p.m. Monday to 7 a.m. Tuesday.

In a series of tweets, Evers, a Democrat, said he announced a special
session for the state Legislature to convene on Aug. 31 to take up a
proposed package to "to increase accountability and transparency in
policing in Wisconsin."

"This includes investing in community violence interruption programs,
addressing inappropriate use of force, and prohibiting dangerous police
practices, among many other needed reforms and accountability measures,"
he wrote.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
