A gas station is seen burned down after disturbances following the police shooting of a man in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Photo: ReutersAfter small groups of demonstrators gathered earlier in peaceful vigils, Milwaukee police said late on Sunday (local time) they began attempting to disperse crowds after shots were fired and objects were thrown by some protesters. About 200 people lit candles and gathered around the spot where Smith was shot. He said a silent video of the incident appeared to show the officer acting within lawful bounds in shooting Smith. He said the moment when the officer fired his weapon could not be determined because the audio was delayed.
