Crowds of protesters gathered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin after an officer fatally shot an allegedly armed man. The rally soon turned violent as protesters set cars and properties ablaze and clashed with police. Officials have confirmed that at least three people have been arrested.

The suspect was 23 years old and had a lengthy arrest record, said the authorities, which also claimed that he was carrying a stolen handgun loaded with 23 rounds of ammunition.

Violence is ongoing in the city, according to reports on Twitter. Urban Suburban Fire Incident Reporting, USFiR2015, reported a garage fire in the Bobolink Avenue district and a blaze on Burleigh street.

"We are asking every resident of this community to do everything they can to help us restore order," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said. "If you love your son, if you love your daughter, text them, call them, pull them by the ears and get them home."

Not hypocritical much: Hillary Clinton's protective wall around Chappaqua estate

Bill's quote
Hillary Clinton doesn't miss an opportunity to ridicule Donald Trump's illegal immigration solution of a wall on the southern border — but that's exactly what she's deployed to keep undesirables away from her.

"First of all, as I understand him, he's talking about a very tall wall, a beautiful tall wall, the most beautiful tall wall, better than the Great Wall of China, that would run the entire border," Clinton riffed in March.

"He would somehow magically get the Mexican government to pay for it. It's just fantasy."

A series of photos reveal a massive barrier running the entire border of Bill and Hillary Clinton's estate in Chappaqua, New York — undoubtedly intended to keep the unwashed masses away from the political elites.

This aerial photo shows the high white fence surrounding the Clintons' property:

Comment: The author of the article is incorrect. The big walls were built so they could hide the dead bodies inside of them.

A lone gunman killed a Queens imam and his assistant as the pair walked home from Saturday afternoon prayers, shooting each in the head from close range, cops and witnesses said.

Both victims were dressed in Muslim garb when targeted by the shooter, who fled the scene on foot and remained at large. Members of the mosque quickly denounced the double homicide as a hate crime.

"That's not what America is about," said local resident Khairul Islam, 33. "We blame Donald Trump for this ... Trump and his drama has created Islamophobia."

Some 4,000 supporters of marijuana legalization in Germany rolled through central Berlin. Demonstrators called on the government to allow marijuana for a broader medical use and stop prosecution for its possession.

According to police figures, some 4,000 people took part in Saturday's rally with no incidents or arrests reported. The crowds initially gathered at the central railway station before moving to the federal Health Ministry and then to the iconic Alexanderplatz.

"The marijuana parade is the largest demonstration for the legalization of Cannabis as commodity, medicine, and natural stimulant in Germany," the organizers wrote on their website. The latest march was staged under the slogan "Legalization is in the air" and was the 20th in a row after the movement was established in Berlin in 1997.

People carried banners saying, "My brain belongs to me," and "Cannabis is my medicine."

Police in Milan were left red faced after thieves managed to rob a bank, even though they had received warnings from local residents that something fishy was going on in the vicinity.

The heist was pulled off on Friday as four robbers who had dug a tunnel under the bank waited for the employees to arrive at around 9:30 am and then forced them to open the vault at gunpoint.

The thieves, who all had their faces covered, quickly emptied the safety deposit boxes and made their way back through the tunnel with their loot. Police arrived at the scene too late, as the bank robbers had already made their getaway, the La Stampa newspaper reported.

An explosive state audit of a secretive California gang database used by law enforcement showed 42 profiles were for 1-year-old children, half of whom apparently confessed to being in gangs. The database, paid for by taxpayers, is rife with other errors.

Shock troops: Nearly 100 kids were tased by US school police over last 5 years

© AFPMore and more school police officers are armed with Tasers, which are not used sparingly, according to a new analysis.
The number is likely deceptively low since the Huffington Post analysis was entirely based on media reports.

At least 84 children were Tasered at school in the past five years, which have seen an unprecedented rise in school police, according to an analysis by the Huffington Post published Thursday.

No records exist logging Taser usage in schools, so the count relied on media reports, though many cases likely never made it to local papers. The distribution of Tasers and of school police, though, has visibly risen, according to both state and federal numbers.

The 12 to 19-year-olds were disproportionately Black and were often reprimanded for insignificant acts: running away from the principal, fighting with other students or talking back to a police officer.

Comment: Police state norms have now infiltrated schools making them more into daytime prisons:
