For the third consecutive night in Milwaukee, protestors speaking out against police violence and the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis clashed with police.
This time protesters gathered on Milwaukee’s northeast side near Shorewood.
We saw several people arrested by Edgewood and Oakland at #Milwaukee #Shorewood border. There were still some people engaging with @MilwaukeePolice and other law enforcement but then they all just got in their vehicles and left. @tmj4 pic.twitter.com/EYMlBS0mbL

Officers making a handful of arrests along Oakland Avenue Sunday after protestors smashed the windows of several businesses
One of the businesses damaged was Urban Vape and CBD.
“It gets me extremely upset because this is something we earned,” Jason, the owner’s son, tells TMJ4 News. “We started this business two years ago. My dad saved up all of his money to start this business.”
Another scene Sunday night happened at Milwaukee Police District 5, near MLK & Locust.
Many cars circled the area, people at times getting on top of the nearby Burger King.
Scene dispersed within minutes after @WI_Guard and @MilwaukeePolice by District 5 deployed teargas. Ppl were on top of cars & @BurgerKing by MLK & Locust. Ppl also started firing off fireworks & some1 threw a water bottle at us @tmj4 #Milwaukee pic.twitter.com/jW9pCWOQ77
