Officer, Man and Cop in Fatal Milwaukee Shooting Both Black

abc- 

Milwaukee police say both the man whose fatal shooting sparked violent protests in the city and the police officer who shot him are black.

Chief Edward Flynn made the disclosure at a news conference Sunday. Flynn identified the man killed Saturday as 23-year-old Sylville K. Smith, and says Smith had a “lengthy arrest record.”

Mayor Tom Barrett says a still image pulled from the officer’s body camera shows “without question” that Smith had a gun in his hand when he was shot.

Police earlier said Smith fled from a traffic stop. Flynn said he wasn’t sure what prompted the stop, but said Smith’s car was “behaving suspiciously.”

  1. @Ricky: I don’t think Jeffery D. liked dark meat. Anyway, even if he was still around, I heard his services were pretty expensive. If you could hire him, it would probably cost you an arm and a leg.
