Tireece Anderson, 32, points to an area where Kenosha, Wis., police have allegedly harassed Black residents while his girlfriend, Rose Cavin, 30, listens on Friday, Aug. 28, 2020. The southern Wisconsin city remained on edge following the police shooting of Jacob Blake and violent protests that followed.
As people here navigate barricaded streets, boarded-up windows and their own place along some of the deepest fault lines cleaving the U.S., there are many more than two perspectives on what happened, what it means and the way forward.Charles Stevenson pulled up to a quiet, green block 150 miles from his Green Bay home. There was something he wanted to show his 9-year-old son.
Around the corner, Tireece Anderson said the shooting hadn’t surprised him. Police don’t get along with Black residents like him, said Anderson, a 32-year-old warehouse worker who’s had his own encounters with the criminal justice system and with police he says wrongly targeted and were unduly harsh with him.
After the gunfire, with his AR-15-style rifle over his shoulder and his hands in the air, Rittenhouse walked toward police vehicles that kept going past him, even as a witness shouted, “He just shot them!” Police Chief Daniel Miskinis has explained the response as officers dealing with a chaotic scene.
“He knew the potential consequences of his actions, and he was prepared to die so that other people wouldn’t,” said the woman, Hannah Gittings. “That’s a hero.”Set along Lake Michigan between Chicago and Milwaukee, Kenosha is to some extent a demographic slice of the U.S. “I’ve been the mayor for a long, long time. But this isn’t what I’m used to,” said John Antaramian, a Democrat who returned to office in 2016 after serving from 1992 to 2008. “This is different.”“There’s two justice systems. There’s one for that white boy ... and then there is a justice system for mine,” Blake’s father, Jacob Blake Sr., told a diverse crowd of about 1,000 people at a rally Saturday.Blake’s family and police representatives dispute much of what happened.
To these demonstrators, most of them white, what had happened in their city was a travesty of destruction and criminality that was able to unfold under the cover of protest.She and her partner, Dustin Bose, live close to the center of the protests and the fires earlier in the week. The two said they had spent nights on their porch with their guns loaded, feeling they needed to protect their home and family, including a 5-year-old child and a disabled 19-year-old.
All of this is happening in OUR country. We all need to unite that’s why this November I’m voting for GabbardCrenshaw2020
Check your numberz: 'Its 100,000 residents are 80% white, 12% Black, and 18% Hispanic (an ethnicity that can include any race)' - i know journos are notoriously bad at math, im one myself
Need Federal troops in all Democratic run states and cities
I'm strong believe, behind all of these, there's a group who drives.
It’s pretty simple, it’s Democrats/Leftism/Marxism/Fascism/Liberals/NT/MSM(AP), Hollywood/BLM/Ignorant Pro-Athletes vs. The Rest of Us.
I love the very first sentence of your “journalism”. “A black man, accosted by police...” Yes, I PAY MY TAXES so that police WILL accost criminals! This is why we hate you. “JOURNALISM”
It’s easily explainable. On one side you have a group that is majorly uneducated, rural, and isolated. On the other you have an historically oppressed culture that is also isolated, uneducated, and urban. Both lack personal responsibility, and act on emotion instead of fact.
Media is the enemy of the people. Dividing & spreading unsubstantiated conspiracy theories all for clicks.
The father of Jacob Black is very ghetto and this explains why his son is dead. If he had raised his son to be a hard working person not an alleged criminal rapist fighting with the police while holding a knife he would be alive. This is the law of the ghetto teach the wrong les
Based on the recent statements and action, there appears to be a lot of hatred projected at white ppl
I call bullshit
Blake was wanted on sex assault charge, fought with police, tasered, gets back to car door with cops repeatedly saying drop knife, ignores, easy for him to whip around and stab cop, perhaps fatally, gets shot. He put lives at risk. Nothing to do with racism or police excess.
Want to bet! The blacks are the ones racial profiling persons of allcolors As a person of color, they’re all welcome to take a one-way trip to my home
“What would make you think that tearing up my store is going to benefit the cause?” wondered John, who is Black. “We’re fighting for the same reasons, and we shouldn’t be the victim.”
It's just a sign of decline... can't stay on top forever... even the Great Roman empire collapsed...
Cities are wracked by discord, egged on by media. Not all of America.
Two UGLY FACES of Kamala (Flip Flop Phony) Harris!
200 years after slavery the blacks are still the poor underclass They are an angry bunch In Portland the riots have gone on for weeks They r jobless and have nothing to do but to loot
The nation's not broken at all. Americans are experiencing what happens when you elect Bozo to drive the bus. We're getting the bumpy ride we deserve. Turns out competence, experience, and integrity actually matter. Biden2020.
Judge T. S. Ellis III, U.S. EDVA, intentionally and deceitfully lied and misrepresented facts and law to advocate for USPTO to conceal its racial discrimination and retaliation. Royal v Lee, 1:17-cv-261. Judge Ellis acted to eviscerate Title VII, render it toothless.
“We don’t know what to believe “ It is Marxism verses America. As for me and my house, we will choose America
That you capitalized 'Black' but not 'white' says an awful lot. You fucking people don't get it.
Seems like these two 'outbursts' have something in common and maybe reporting on that would be more informative.
*White
'A domestic dispute?' Black was accused of RAPE of a 15 year old! That is not a domestic dispute.
The vast majority of people understand it’s not black against white. The media and many politicians seem to be the ones promoting that narrative. Instead of rational bipartisan coverage all that gets shown is the knee jerk overreactions and controversial ideas and responses.
You (the media) continue to push the notion that America is racist and sadly ppl are falling for the BS ID pols. Is there racism, sure, is is against all races, u bet, is it so small it should make the top 100 of issues to be concerned with, absolutely NOT.
'If you don't capitalize 'Black' you're racist.' Yeah it's a real mystery why the nation feels broken right now.🙄 Some morons in charge thought race-essentialism would be a good idea if you just promoted the right races.
Fight for freedom, believe in John Lewis, keep 1776 US Constitution alive, defend your religious faith, far left radical must remain silent and peaceful (age 35 & under), let the silent majority whites speak, God bless
Quality journalism is needed today more than ever or shut it down!
'a nation wracked by discord'' Fake News
Oh nonsense. Violent Democrats are violent. Nothing has changed. Vote them out of office at every level. Problem solved.
The people vs the state is the real war. The media only shows you black vs white
A rapist was resisting arrest by police. Your reporting is what's causing divide and violence. AP you should and hopefully will be held accountable for your part in the destruction of societies.
it is 2nd amendment/rich/obstinate/NRA vs poor/police -as simple as that ScottAdamsSays realDonaldTrump KamalaHarris JoeBiden it is game of the sick individuals to pit police against poor ppl.
All of this is happening in Trumps America. If you think this is bad. Wait till you see the next four years. 🤦🏻♂️
especially when 102 out of 175 rioters arrested are from out of state causing trouble in places they dont belong ruining communities they dont live in
People need to start looking at facts. 50 million police interactions every year with the public...how many result in the killing of unarmed black man? 9? 10? So much faux outrage and race baiting that inner city black kids are more afraid of police than they are of gangs.
It's the Left and Press against America
AP, You and other media started it all from the get go!
Yes it is. Interstate travel for racists fighting the new/same civil war against dark people. Complacency is complicity
