Officer-involved shooting in my city tonight.
The video doesn’t look good... like, George Floyd 2.0. Just as many questions too.
I will be SHOCKED if it’s not front page news tomorrow.

TMZ already picked it up. https://www.tmz.com/2020/08/23/white-kenosha-wisconsin-cop-shoots-unarmed-black-man-seven-times/
Confrontation at the police station. Riot gear, prepared to deploy tear gas and rubber bullets if need be.
The last time we had protests here, we had loads of people come up from Illinois/Chicago. I expect that will be the case now. Maybe some Milwaukee people too?

They just called a curfew.
The downside of ADHD is all your thoughts try to happen at once. I have so much I want to share here, bear with me. Lots of ideas, only one keyboard. 
It’s early to comment definitively on anything, but there are many things that make this event very suspicious.
Kenosha is a battleground city in a battleground county in a battleground state for the election. We can start there.

Things have been fishy since the start of COVID. County health director tried to pull some crap with shutdowns early on but got overruled. We had people driving in from Chicago for George Floyd protests.
Kenosha is located between Milwaukee and Chicago, so... convenient.
Also, major human trafficking corridor, due to said convenience.

Before covid...
We nearly got Foxconn. Trump was here.
A girl killed her sex trafficker and burned the house down with him in it. It made national news.
A string of attempted kidnappings by men in white vans (see human trafficking corridor, above). National news.

I’m sure I’ll remember more things to add here tomorrow.
I also have loads of archived info from the past few months to dig through and share here. A few sources I need to connect with.
I’ll do my best to report for you.

Helicopter flying overhead... news. Top circled area is the location of the shooting, area to the right is the police station.
Here’s what Apple News had to say just days ago about Wisconsin in their overview of key election states. Highlighted is Kenosha County.
I had to do a double take when I saw a familiar shape on the map and remembered I was reading national news.

I almost forgot about this piece.
This alert was sent out just over a week ago. Different people got different messages. Apparently some did NOT say it was a test.
(I just started a hashtag #NewsFromMyiPhone earlier today so you can compare for fun and see this is my phone)

I am trying to keep information to this thread but there are some RTs that haven’t made it in. Too much to keep up with—so you can check my feed for more.
I’m hearing loads of sirens for the first time tonight. I’m not sure at this moment whether that’s a good thing..
The shooting should be thoroughly investigated IMO. Justice should be served wherever it is due. But because they will insist he was unarmed and totally not a danger to anyone— https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1297776854670008320?s=20
It’s come to my attention that the fact that we have a newly expanded Amazon warehouse in our city might be a relevant bit of information, as far as the organization of these riots goes.
Just got this alert.
Why has Evers made any claim on the identity of the man who was shot if authorities haven’t released it yet?
I can tell you, covid has made it clear to me he has someone writing his script. Every covid press release is fluffy BS to push the narrative. https://twitter.com/journalsentinel/status/1297781277253304325?s=20

Evers’s statement:
For the 3rd time this YEAR, we are fleeing our house on account of rioting.
We decided to leave because multiple buildings are ablaze downtown & firefighters are not responding due to shots fired at them (if I remember correctly, it’s all a blur).
We’re too close for comfort.

We arrived safely to where we are staying. Finally gonna get some sleep!
They burned down Bradford Community Church, which is actually a Unitarian Universalist church.
I get the feeling they’re not from around here.

This is the Bradford Community Unitarian Universalist Church sign. Look closely. What do you see?
They were aligned with the real, peaceful protesters. https://twitter.com/TheSpeaker2018/status/1297807075754430464?s=20

Better photo. This pretty much tells you all you need to know.
Far-left—yes, he’s got it right. https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1297912931699404800?s=20
CNN seems so cautious about their reporting on this. Not mentioned on the daily roundup blurb, but an asteroid that will burn up in the atmosphere is. The article they finally put out on the shooting actually is remarkably detailed and rather balanced (for CNN anyway.) Hmmm... 
The good news is we have the national guard being deployed. Maybe that’s why the media isn’t so keen on this story.
Also, the man who was shot is out of surgery & did not die from his wounds.
I have a feeling the reason for so many shots is that they were *intentionally non-lethal shots* meant only to disable him, but you can take a few bullets and still act when you have adrenaline.

Another backstory notable: Just ten days ago (about the same time that emergency alert test went out), an officer of the KPD was shot. He did recover. More fuel to the fire leading up to this event. https://www.wisn.com/article/kenosha-police-officer-shot-shooter-still-on-loose/33552696
Current update: Caravan of vehicles coming down from Milwaukee.
Being a local, you can tell a lot about what’s going on.
There is a group at the courthouse. They are locals.
There is a group heading south to the courthouse now. They are mostly not locals, you can tell by their dress and body language. They are chanting typical BLM phrases.

I abandoned this thread, as you can tell. It grew too big.
I was just re-reading it and decided I should tie my last tweet, about the two different groups, with the events that transpired later in the evening.

I had said these people clearly aren’t from here.
Some from this group apparently continued south, after the courthouse confrontation, and set several buildings on fire.
In a black neighborhood. Where people live.
But they weren’t from here—they didn’t know or care, I guess.
