Unorganized protests can very easily turn into mobs where the collective mentality tends to gravitate toward the most militant participants.

I don't know much of anything about race relations in Milwaukee, but it's hard not to think that there probably is some long and deep problems and the degree of violence probably reflects some pernicious history.

This morning Faux and Fiends showed fires in Milwaukee. Of course, there was no rioting last night, no fires but they gave that aspect very little comment. I'll wait for the video but if the guy was armed and running away from the cops, then that would be a good shoot according to the SCOTUS.

A little background on the Milwaukee police.

Justice Department could do two-year review of Milwaukee police Nov 14, 2015

"Milwaukee would become only the ninth department in the country to submit to the voluntary process, known as a "collaborative reform initiative." The process gives the Justice Department a less adversarial option than a consent decree, which is formal monitoring through its Civil Rights Division resulting from a pattern-and-practice investigation."

Cop was black and so was the suspect, there wasn't any racism involved in the incident. It was originally more about the relationship between the police and the community. Now it is just reverse racism with whites being targets of violence for no reason.

I agree. But there are reasons why the people of the community are acting the way they are acting.

That's not how institutional racism works.

Baltimore cops are essentially racist across the board, including the black cops. It's a weird and sad but very true thing.
