On the ground in Wauwatosa for @townhallcom and some in the BLM crowd are smashing storefront windows.
Some rioters in Wauwatosa, WI are now smashing windows of homes. People in the crowd tried to stop them from targeting homes.
The BLM crowd marched towards a line of police officers in Wauwatosa and began to throw projectiles. Police fired tear gas and pepper balls in response.
As the BLM crowd was marching through the neighborhoods of Wauwatosa, one man came out to tell people to get off of his property, telling them there are people who most likely support BLM. One guy drove on his yard with a motorcycle.
I was able to do an interview with this man and he had a lot to say, so stand by for a full write up at townhall.com.

I was able to interview the owner of the apartment complex that was attacked last night in Wauwatosa. He told me a 70-year-old woman was home when her front window was smashed. She screamed, cried, and couldn't stop shaking. Full video: townhall.com/tipsheet/julio…
I also interviewed Jason, a Trump supporter who told the crowd to stop trespassing on his property. He said he is tired of protesters assuming he is living a comfortable life bc he has a house. His finances have taken a huge hit bc of COVID lockdowns: townhall.com/tipsheet/julio…
Heavy police and National Guard presence in Wauwatosa as it appears they cracked down on the protester caravan. Police seen driving away vehicles that were part of the caravan yesterday. Tosa PD says arrests have been made.
Did a last-second appearance with @IngrahamAngle because @BGOnTheScene got arrested despite being press. We talked about rioters attacking the apartment complex last night and how it is a fact that rioters are going out into suburban areas.

New from me: NBC News misrepresented an internal memo that was meant to brief DHS officials on the Rittenhouse case.
I've seen the memo and NBC News left out key context that shows the "sympathetic" talking points were not actually talking points: townhall.com/tipsheet/julio…
There are two parts to the memo, "Situation" and "Response." This distinction was not made in NBC News' story. It's important because the "sympathetic" talking points were underneath the "Situation" section. The "Response" section told officials to give a no comment.
The "Situation," or background information, is "not meant to be talking points," a senior official with direct knowledge told Townhall.
On the ground in Louisville, Ky. for @townhallcom and the protesting crowd just heard the charges the grand jury announced for the Breonna Taylor case. They are not happy at all, some people are crying.
The protesting BLM crowd is now marching through the streets of Louisville. They have chanted, “No lives matter till black lives matter!”
As the BLM crowd chanted, “If we didn’t get it, burn it down!” they have marched outside the barricaded zone in Louisville and have shut down traffic in an intersection.

As a bonus, there’s a nice local news station on scene.
A man with an America flag showed up to the BLM protest outside the Lancaster police station. Some people not happy he is here.
One woman throws some of her drink on him and a couple of people were upset she did that.

.@DHS_Wolf at this year’s State of the Homeland: “For nearly two months, while defending the federal courthouse [in Portland], our federal officers were assaulted with sledgehammers, commercial grade fireworks, rocks, metal pipes, IEDs...our officers suffered over 240 injuries.”
Wolf: “Some politicians and media figures have brazenly characterized the extreme violence in Portland as ‘mostly peaceful.’...[DHS] supports the exercise of everyone’s First Amendment rights. There is no Constitutional right to loot burn, to burn, or assault law enforcement...”
Wolf: It has been disappointing to see so-called ‘experts’ criticize our response in Portland without knowing the facts on the ground. It’s unsettling that these self-appointed experts rush to criticize [DHS agents]...even before they condemn the violent behavior of a rioting mob
