    Race Riots

    Milwaukee unrest: Firefighters battle fires at multiple businesses on city’s north side

    MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee firefighters battled multiple fires on Saturday evening, August 13th and into Sunday, August 14th -- all possibly related to the violent reaction to an officer-involved fatal shooting near 44th and Auer.

    Multiple buildings and businesses were set on fire late Saturday. Those businesses included the BP gas station at Sherman and Burleigh, Jet Beauty at 35th and Fond du Lac, BMO Harris Bank at 36th and Fond du Lac, O'Reilly Auto Parts at Fond du Lac and Burleigh and MJM Liquor at Fond du Lac and North. A traffic signal was also bent and bus shelters overturned. Also, police squads were damaged during the course of the night.

    The latest of the fires took place near Fond du Lac and Meinecke at MJM Liquor, a two-story building. Firefighters battled the two-alarm fire early Sunday.

    FOX6's Brad Hicks indicated while the fire spread to the second floor of the building, it appears to have started on the first floor.

    There were no ambulances on the scene -- which could indicate nobody was hurt as a result of the fire.

    Angry crowds took to the streets in Milwaukee on Saturday night to protest the shooting death of an armed man by a police officer hours earlier.

    Protesters burned several stores and threw rocks at police in the city's north side, leaving one officer injured. Smoke and orange flames filled the night sky.

    The incident started Saturday afternoon when two officers stopped two people who were in a car in the north side, according to the Milwaukee Police Department.

    Shortly after, both car occupants fled on foot as officers pursued them, police said.

    During the chase, an officer shot one of the two -- a 23-year-old man who was armed with a handgun, according to authorities.

    "He (officer) ordered that individual to drop his gun, the individual did not drop his gun," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said. "He had the gun with him and the officer fired several times."

    The man died at the scene. It's unclear whether the second occupant of the car is in police custody.

    The suspect was shot twice -- in the arm and chest, the mayor said. His handgun was stolen during a burglary in Waukesha in March, according to police.

    "The victim of that burglary reported 500 rounds of ammunition were also stolen with the handgun," police said in a statement.

    The officer, 24, was assigned to District 7 and has six years of service with the Milwaukee Police Department -- three of those as an officer.

    He was not injured and will be placed on administrative duty during the investigation and subsequent review by the district attorney's office.

    At the time of the shooting, he was wearing a body camera, Barrett said, adding that it was his understanding that it was operational.

    By state law, the Wisconsin Department of Justice will lead the investigation.

    Fires broke out at six businesses and at least 0ne car was set on fire. Several police cruisers were damaged and one officer was struck with a brick. Two bus shelters were ripped from their foundations and thrown in the streets. All of this, according to local reporting, happened within a 2 hour period.

    As of midnight, fires were reported at a BP gas station, a Jet Beauty Supply store, an O’Reilly Auto Parts store and a BMO Harris Bank location. Several blocks away, a neighborhood supermarket was on fire at about 1 a.m. A liquor store at 22nd Street and Fond Du Lac Avenue was burning shortly after 2 a.m.

    The O'Reilly Auto Parts store and the BP gas station have been completely burned down.

    They’re Beating Every White Person’: Riots, Fires After Fatal Shooting Sparks Chaos In Milwaukee

    Race agitators in Milwaukee used the police shooting of an unarmed armed black man to burn down their city and attack white people.

    Several videos show white drivers being stopped in the middle of the street and the “protesters” attempting to pull them out of their vehicles.

    National Guard on Standby

    Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker activated the National Guard on Sunday afternoon, hours after a gas station was set on fire and other businesses were torched by demonstrators protesting a controversial shooting by police.

    Walker said he took the step after receiving a request from Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and talking with Mayor Tom Barrett and the Guard's leader. The Guard will be in position to help "upon request," according to Walker's announcement.

    Walker also praised citizens who showed up Sunday to clean up the north-side neighborhood where the violence took place. He called for "continued peace and prayer."

    The clashes and rioting erupted after a Milwaukee police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Saturday night during a foot chase on the city’s north side.

    City leaders pleaded for calm after the violence erupted, with Barrett imploring parents of anyone at the scene to "get them home right now" after at least four businesses burned and one officer was hurt.

    At a news conference just after midnight, Barrett said the situation appeared to be calming after a riotous scene in which as many as 100 protesters skirmished with police, torching a squad car and tossing a brick through the window of another. Police mounted at least two efforts to push the protesters out of an intersection at the heart of the violence.

    Charlotte police on Friday announced the arrest of a suspect in the killing of a demonstrator shot during protests this week over a police-involved shooting.

    The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department identified the suspect as Rayquan Borum and charged him in the shooting death of Justin Carr, 26, who was on life support and died Thursday.

    Police said Carr was wounded in a protester-on-protester clash at around 8:30 p.m. ET Wednesday during tense demonstrations that led to over 40 arrests. Authorities were investigating who was behind the shooting amid claims that an officer may have struck Carr.

    'Peaceful protesters' in Charlotte attempt to burn unconcious photographer alive

    We've already presented two examples which prove the so-called "peaceful protests" in Charlotte, N.C. are anything but. We saw a CNN reporter get attacked on the street, and we saw an innocent man get dragged into a parking structure - where he was beaten while begging for mercy.

    Stories like those are all over the internet, and they're terrible, but I suppose they're not quite as awful as having someone try to set you on fire while you're unconscious. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to a photographer who was tasked with covering the "plea of the social justice warrior."

    Court rules man will serve full sentence after conviction in Charlotte riots killing

    In 2019, a Mecklenburg County jury found Rayquan Borum guilty of second-degree murder in the deadly shooting of Justin Carr.

    By Brad Dickerson

    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – The man convicted of shooting and killing Justin Carr during the 2016 riots in Charlotte will serve his full prison sentence.

    That’s according to the state Supreme Court, which reversed a Court of Appeals decision that Rayquan Borum should be resentenced at the lower Class B2 felony level.

    In 2019, a Mecklenburg County jury found Borum guilty of second-degree murder in the deadly shooting of Carr, who died when demonstrators took to the streets to protest the officer-involved killing of Keith Lamont Scott.

    Scott’s death set off days of protests and riots in Charlotte. Police say when a crowd gathered in front of the Omni Hotel on Sept. 21, 2016, Carr was fatally wounded.

    Prosecutors say Borum was aiming for the police when the bullet hit Carr, who attended the peaceful protests and was on his way to get his car to go to work.

    After his conviction, Judge Gregory Hayes sentenced Borum to 276 to 344 months in prison – 23 to 28.6 years – for the Class B1 second-degree murder conviction and 14 to 26 months for the possession of a firearm by a felon conviction. The sentences were to be served consecutively and he was credited with just over two years of time served.

    Borum’s appeal of his sentence centers around the type of malice that supported the second-degree murder conviction.

    Under North Carolina law, second-degree murder is generally classified as a Class B1 felony, according to court records. When it’s determined that a defendant acted with “depraved-heart malice,” second-degree murder would then be classified as a Class B2 felony.

    The Supreme Court’s ruling states the jury in Borum’s case indicated on the verdict sheet that he acted with depraved-heart malice in addition to the two other forms of malice – actual and “condition of mind” malice – recognized in N.C.

    In his argument to the Court of Appeals, Borum argued that the trial court should have sentenced him for a Class B2 felony based on ambiguity in the jury’s verdict, court documents state.

    The Court of Appeals agreed with the argument and remanded the case for resentencing at the Class B2 felony level, “reasoning that ‘[t]he State presented evidence tending to show multiple malice theories,’” according to court records.

    The state petitioned the N.C. Supreme Court for review, saying the Court of Appeals erred in remanding the case for resentencing.

    In its ruling, the Supreme Court disagreed with Borum’s argument that the jury’s verdict was ambiguous, stating that, “when, as here, the jury’s verdict unambiguously supports a second-degree murder conviction based on actual malice or condition of mind malice, a Class B1 sentence is required, even when depraved-heart malice is also found.”

    “Contrary to Mr. Borum’s interpretation, this means that a Class B2 sentence is only appropriate where a second-degree murder conviction hinges on the jury’s finding of depraved-heart malice,” the Supreme Court’s ruling states. “Here, however, depraved-heart malice is not necessary – or essential – to prove Mr. Borum’s conviction because the jury also found that Mr. Borum acted with the two other forms of malice.”

    In a statement, the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office said it hopes the finality of the court’s ruling will enable Carr’s family to enjoy some certainty and that they can now, “move on to honoring his memory and all that he stood for.”

    An email sent to Borum’s defense counsel seeking comment had not been answered as of Monday morning.

    According to the N.C. Department of Adult Correction’s website, Borum is currently housed in the Bertie Correctional Institute. His projected release date is Sept. 22, 2045.
