Kenosha becomes center of nationwide protests after police shoot Black man in front of his children
Source: CNN
Buildings and cars in Kenosha, Wisconsin, were set ablaze Monday night amid protests reignited by the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake.
Blake, a Black man, was shot multiple times in the back Sunday evening as he tried to enter an SUV through the driver's side door. In the vehicle were his 3-, 5- and 8-year-old children.
Following the shooting, police said officers rendered aid before the injured man was flown to a hospital in Milwaukee. He remained in intensive care late Monday, his attorney said.
Enraged demonstrators poured onto the streets after video of the shooting began circulating on social media, showing an officer grabbing on to the man's tank top. Seven shots are heard, followed by the sustained sound of a car horn. Two Wisconsin police officers have since been placed on administrative leave, and the police union has urged the public to withhold judgment until "all the facts are known."

I do not know about every dealership that was attacked, but the one I do know of, were BLM supporters, they had posted Black Lives Matter signs and were supporters - it is a shame. I know when you get pissed enough to break shit - you usually break shit in your own house - but damn!!
Watching that video, it was almost like they wanted him to try and get to the vehicle door and open it, he literally walked past them and around, didn't run, walked! Yes they yelled at him to stop, but they easily could have prevented him or made a worthwhile attempt to prevent him from getting to that car door - it was like they wanted him to get there?!?!? and then, really, I have no idea how he is alive - he was filled full of lead, from the video it looked like he got it right in the back of the head but I guess it was the back. And those babies, they were right in the car to witness it - right in front of their innocent eyes 
Two quotes come to mind for me almost daily now a days -
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK
"A Riot is the Voice of the Unheard" - MLK
When will they hear, maybe if they ever start to listen????
I don't know some days I just feel lost -

how many of these protesters and agitators are registered to vote! We as minorities have the power at the ballot box to make a difference. We don't have to stoop to the levels of the KKK by burning and creating chaos! It plays right into Donald Trump's hands when this happens. Martin Luther King and John Lewis talked about peaceful protests. I know there are agitators in these crowds that need to be weeded out and stopped by the peaceful protesters. We, as minorities need to understand that if we use our power and vote in every single election, we can truly change things. Observe the mixture of all races that have joined the BLM crowds. It's not only minorities that feel there's a need for police reform, many whites do as well. If we want police reform as bad as we know it's needed, the only way to get that and to finally get rid of "qualified immunity" is to vote these people out that want to keep it!! Also, we need to start honoring out obligations to be on juries and stop thinking it's a waste of our time.
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now...
