Sitting here watching the news as unrest in Milwaukee continues into the early hours of the day. Three separate fires to businesses, damage and looting to other buildings, shots fired at first responders, police in riot gear trying to stop the violence. This all erupted as retaliation to a police officer shooting an armed man earlier in the day on Saturday. The mayor just spoke, pleading with parents to get their children home. Several aldermen spoke afterward, reiterating the frustration of minorities in the city concerning perceived injustice to people of color by police. Truly a boiling point.
