Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday that Hillary Clinton’s remarks about police rebuilding trust in their communities is only “inflaming the situation” after multiple nights of protests in Milwaukee, where police fatally shot a man fleeing a traffic stop this weekend.
Asked for his response to Clinton’s remarks in an interview on Fox News, the Republican governor said, “I think comments like that are just inflaming the situation.”
“The people who live in the neighborhood want police in Milwaukee and the sheriff’s department to step up and protect them. They didn’t want the criminals who were doing those actions against those businesses to do that,” he continued. “And I think statements like that and the lack of leadership we have had from the President on this issue only inflame the situation.”
Speaking in Pennsylvania on Monday, Clinton addressed the protests by saying there’s “urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities.”
The protests began after a Milwaukee police officer, whose name has not been released, shot and killed an armed black man. In the aftermath, protesters set fire to cars and ransacking neighborhood stores. Eleven law enforcement officers were injured and an 18-year-old received a serious gunshot wound, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

The implication being that if the good ni[CLANG] want protection against the bad ones who’re rampaging, just let the police continue to abuse all. A small price to pay for “Law & Order”…
And the evidence for this assertion is…

Thought so.
Hillary should have retold a parable about the snakes in our midst sinking their venomous fangs into us as we’re extending a hand to help them. That’s always good for a round of cheers and applause.
