After initially running, he turned toward the officer. The officer fired two shots, hitting Smith in the arm and head.
Riots erupted.
An officer was hit in the head by a brick, causing a major loss of blood. Several police cruisers were set on fire or completely smashed. Rioters set fire to a BP gas station, an O'Rielly Auto Parts store, BMO Harris Bank, and a beauty supply store. All were totally destroyed.

At a community gathering on Sunday, two of Sylville Smith's sisters spoke to the community with cameras rolling:
“At the end of the day, acting out ain’t gonna solve it. Ain’t gonna solve nothing for Sylville. The city went crazy (Saturday) night over Sylville. We tired of it. We tired."
~ Kimberly Neal, sister of Sylville Smith“I lost my brother. I can’t get him back. Never. Never. That’s pain. I can’t look him in the eye no more. Burning down shit ain’t gonna help nothin’! You’re burning down shit we need in our community. Take that shit to the suburbs! Burn that shit down! We need our shit, we need our weave! I don’t wear it, but we need it.”
~ Sherelle Smith, sister of Sylville Smith

— DeeconX (@DeeconX) August 15, 2016Back to local news coverage. Good ol' selective editing is alive and well, eh @Fox6Now?
At 9:20 p.m. Sunday night, Fox6News published an online article which quoted Sherelle Smith as saying only “I lost my brother. I can’t get him back. Never. Never. That’s pain. I can’t look him in the eye no more."
And that ..."in the eye no more" would be where Fox6News stopped the quote. Authors Madeline Anderson and Katie DeLong chopped that lil part about how suburbs would be a better place to burn shit down. Madeline and Katie did manage to throw in the article how the sisters "encouraged peace in Milwaukee." Which technically could be construed as being true. Er. Uh. 70%-ish or so true. Maybe? And stuff? If you're a Clinton and the word 'is' has multiple definitions?
What about that other 30% of the truth that was withheld? Can the young lady authors please share that with us?
Nope.
C ho p q uote. Q uo t e ch o p.
I used to think that the Wayne's World drive through ordering thing was funny. Well...who am I kidding? I still think it is.
So Fox6News authors Madeline and Katie, my advice is to keep that selective editing bullshit for the cinema. Editing out the full truth isn't gonna help the truly downtrodden in this world, the ones that 'keep it real.'
One more thing, what the fuck is wrong with you? Knock off the puppet show. Your journalism smells like shit.
Have a nice day.
