MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker activated his state's National Guard on Sunday to help police in Milwaukee if violent protests persist following the fatal shooting of a man by officers who said he was fleeing a traffic stop.
At least four businesses were burned and one police officer was hurt in violence that broke out Saturday night a few hours after the officer-involved shooting. Police said the man had a handgun.
The protests happened on the city's predominantly black north side. The races of the man and the officer weren't immediately released, but an alderman called the violence a warning sign from black residents "tired of living under this oppression."
