[REUTERS] Milwaukee County's sheriff called on Sunday for the National Guard to be deployed in a predominantly black neighborhood where protesters set off a night of fiery rioting in response to the police killing of an armed suspect.
The neighborhood, which has a reputation for poverty and crime, appeared calm at midday on Sunday after businesses were burned, cars set ablaze and gunshots fired by demonstrators angered by the police killing.
Police presence in the Sherman Park neighborhood was low with some residents milling around and others cleaning up debris.
Police violence against black men and women has sparked intermittent, sometimes violent protests in U.S. cities from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore and New York over the last two years.
The outrage has given rise to the Black Lives Matter movement and touched off a national debate over race and policing in the United States.
Sheriff David Clarke, nationally known as a conservative voice in Republican politics, asked that the National Guard be mobilized to help contain the protests, said Fran McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.
She said he made his request publicly after meeting with Republican Governor Scott Walker and Major General Donald Dunbar of the Wisconsin National Guard, the two men who would consider deploying the Guard.
The sheriff’s office typically oversees county-level law enforcement matters such as county courts, jails, and pretrial services but deployed officers and equipment to help quell Saturday night's riots
The trouble started on Saturday afternoon. A patrol officer fatally shot a suspect who fled after police stopped his vehicle, police said.

The outrage has given rise to the Black Lives Matter movement to capitalize on and further inflame the outrage.

Unfortunately it wont matter one bit to some individuals if that is what the bodycam shows. Milwaukee has become one of the more violent cities in the nation with most of the violence taking place in just a few areas. Some of this is the result of Little Richie when he was Mayor in Chicago. Chicago at the time was tearing down the projects such as Cabrini Green and encouraging some of the residents to move on to other pastures. This incident follows another police shooting in Wauwatosa about four weeks ago.

“This came out of the blue, and all of a sudden people were shot and going to the hospital,” said Jason Glaskey, director of Christian education at Immanuel Lutheran Church, where three of the injured people take part in the church’s Comfort Dog ministry

LOL not what you think Frank.

Ask for them by name. We've had more than a few. :)
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, man was sentenced on Friday to life in prison for fatally stabbing an engineering student from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... who the killer met after the victim posted an online ad to sell his car two years ago, prosecutors said.
The remains of the victim, Abdullah Abdullatif Alkadi, 23, were found alongside a freeway in the desert town of Indio, about 125 miles (200 km) east of Los Angeles, in October 2014, about a month after he went missing.
Alkadi, an international student at California State University, Northridge, had been last seen at his residence in the Los Angeles suburb of Reseda on Sept. 17.
Authorities said the killer, Agustin Rosendo Fernandez, 30, stabbed Alkadi to death that day, when he showed up at the victim's home to pick up an Audi A5 convertible that Alkadi had agreed to sell him for $35,000 in an earlier meeting between the two men.
Fernandez, who had found Alkadi's car-for-sale ad on Craigslist, kept the cash and then made off with the vehicle, disposing of Alkadi's body along the way. Prosecutors said the stolen car was later found parked at the killer's apartment in Long Beach.
Fernandez in June was tried and found guilty of first-degree murder in Alkadi's death. The jury also found in favor of special circumstances of murdering during a robbery and murder during a carjacking, as well as personal use of a deadly weapon.
Under the sentence handed down on Friday, Fernandez will serve a life term in state prison without the possibility of parole, according to a statement issued by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

I remember being out in Manhattan early one morning. Saw a guy walking his dog start across an intersection. Here comes a taxi, turns right in front, runs over the dog and takes off.
Poor guy is standing there still holding the leash.
[WHNT] Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency Friday for the entire state of Louisiana as a result of severe flooding. Katrina is back? Where's the school bus pic when we need it?
The declaration is in effect until Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016. Damn that Bush!
"We are in constant contact with local officials and first responders, and assistance is already on the move to affected parishes," said Gov. Edwards. "The most important thing to remember is to obey road signs and to constantly monitor the news for updates to ensure everyone’s safety. Every available resource will be used to assist citizens as this situation continues to unfold."

Houston should be OK - the flooding rains skipped over the city of New Orleans, which will thus not need to export its thugs.

Britain's biggest police force has set up a controversial unit – dubbed as ‘thought police’ by critics last night – to investigate offensive comments from the internet.
It will be supported by an army of volunteers trained to seek out anything they deem inappropriate on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
They will then report it to officers who will attempt to track down the culprits and possibly prosecute them, according to a report seen by The Mail on Sunday.
Scotland Yard is spending £1.7 million to set up its Twitter squad, which will have five detectives running it.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said: ‘We want more police on the street, not thought police.
Exactly! Why do you think we have the BBC and other media outlets ?
Yemen? Libya? Syria? Baghdad?, why no...Queens, NY
An imam and another man are dead following a double shooting in Queens on Saturday afternoon.
CBS2's Valerie Castro reported Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, and 64-year-old associate, Tharam Uddin, were each shot in the head while on their way home from a local mosque by a man who came up behind them. The shooting took place near Liberty Avenue and 79th Street in Ozone Park around 2 p.m.
Witnesses said the imam from the Al-Furqan Masjid mosque had just delivered an afternoon service and was walking home with another member of the mosque when both men were gunned down.
The motivation behind the violence is still unclear, but many from the surrounding community who attend the mosque are calling this a hate crime.
"After prayer, he taught us how to live peacefully and how to help each other," said Nazrul Islam of Ozone Park.
"A family man has been lost and a scholarly imam has been lost and we are devastated and we want … peace," said Kobir Chowdhury of Ozone Park.
"We feel really insecure and unsafe in a moment like this," said Millat Uddin of Ozone Park. "It's really threatening to us, threatening to our future, threatening to our mobility in our neighborhood, and we're looking for the justice." Kicker:
Police said there is nothing to indicate that they were targeted because of their faith.
Police added there is surveillance video in the area showing a man running with a gun

"After prayer, he taught us how to live peacefully and how to help each other,"
"And also about about Islam, which was much more exciting."
I know it's early, but I'm gonna go with inter-mosque politics.

Muslims blamed Trump for this professional appearing hit but in the past it has often been the case that someone within the mosque had a beef. Trump is getting blamed for everything from WWII, The Civil War to Zika and warts. It is so ridiculous and incredible that it is humorous (and unbelievable). Propaganda that is unbelievable is not effective--no matter how frequent and big the lie.

Besoeker's Breitbart article gives descriptions of the killer:
According to Deputy Inspector Henry Sautner from the 106th precinct, the shooter is a “male with medium complexion dressed in a dark polo shirt and shorts.”
Witnesses providing leads to the NYPD described the shooter as a tall man of Hispanic descent.

"We feel really insecure and unsafe in a moment like this," said almost anyone in middle America when the riots are blossoming. "It's really threatening to us, threatening to our future, threatening to our mobility in our neighborhood, and we're looking for the justice."
Yeah, I know what you mean, Millat.

Concur with Unelet. Mexican my azz. I doubt too many Catholic Mexicans are going to be shooting Imam's in the back of the head - Salifi and Takfiri Syrians...now that be another matter...
A Texas couple has been found guilty of engaging in forced labor of their two "servants," and a judge, who was disgusted with their actions, has banished them from the United States.
Hassan al-Homoud, 46, and his wife Zainab al-Hosani, 39, pleaded guilty to the crimes of holding a person against their will, and forced labor, otherwise known as SLAVERY. They tried to convince the judge that their actions were acceptable because their Prophet Muhammad, the creator of the religion of Islam, kept slaves of his own. Therefore, any punishment that they received would be Islamophobic.
District Judge Orlando Garcia was having none of that. Nor did he chance having the couple go to an American prison where they might be out on good behavior, and then possibly resume their religion inspired actions. He knew that, as followers of Sharia Law, the couple posed a danger to the United States, and as such, banished them from the country. Before they left, however, the judge ordered that the slave-owners pay each of their victims a sum of $60,000 to compensate their efforts.
According to the complaint prepared by Homeland Security’s Special Agent Edward Acuna, the problems are believed to have begun when al-Homoud applied for visas for two individuals, one from Indonesia, and the other from Bangladesh.
In the application for the visas, al-Homoud stated the two would be paid as a housekeeper, and a personal servant, and would collect a monthly income of $1573.87. This was a lie as al-Homoud paid his slaves nothing, but it does point out the fact that the applications that visa seekers, immigrants colonists, and refugees fill out in order to gain access to the country, the same ones that Obama has heralded as foolproof in thwarting forces of Evil from exploiting, can easily be deceived with faulty information.
