Okay. If we thought it was over, I'm afraid we're in for some tough few days.
Today's shooting seems to be absolutely inexcusable.
Horrible to see police shooting a man 7 times... Apparently for no good reason.
Just horrible.

Obviously they were afraid he was rushing and forcing himself to his car to grab a weapon. But that's the question if they can shoot whenever they assume one might grab a weapon.

In any case I don't see why a taser wasn't used instead when shooting right onto him.

"Protesters overnight broke windows and sprayed graffiti at a Kenosha County administrative building and torched vehicles at a nearby auto dealership, according to CNN affiliate WISN."
What an oxymoronic statement!

  • Location: As always, silence is NOT an admission of agreement on DDF. It just means that people lack the stamina to keep on arguing with made up "facts", illogical arguments, deceiving statements, nasty and degrading comments, and fuzzy math. - @yelped

Not all protesters are peaceful, and not all protesters are violent. The act of protesting can be done in many different ways. This black or white narrative is getting old.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported last night that

the police had first used a taser on the man but were not able to gain control of him

Or maybe they saw a weapon in the car? Even they did, I don't think 7 direct shots can be justified.

I do! Which do you think the people are reacting to? One of them? Both?

And regardless of your answer, does Scott Adams' tweet make any sense?

Why don't we wait for the facts to come out, before we rush to judgment?

It's not an act of protest. It's criminals looting and rioting.
This leftist use of symantics in the English language is disturbing.
