![#Milwaukee: National Guard Activated As More Details Emerge [VIDEO]](https://victorygirlsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/milwaukee-national-guard-activat.jpg)
As Milwaukee recovered all day Sunday from a night of rioting and arson, more details began to emerge about the actual incident. Here’s what we know right now, after an extremely revealing press conference. Let’s just say that the narrative got wrecked. A lot.
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.”
And then Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who has gained a reputation in conservative circles for his stand against Black Lives Matter, announced that he was asking Governor Scott Walker to activate the National Guard, while pulling no punches about why this is happening.
