After a night of violent protests, Milwaukee residents gathered Sunday evening to mourn an armed man shot to death by police and begin the healing process.
Family and friends of Sylville Smith, 23, held a candlelight vigil at the site of Saturday's shooting in a residential area of North Milwaukee.
The shooting triggered unrest in the city's north side Saturday night as protesters torched businesses and threw rocks at officers. Four officers were injured and 17 people were arrested, Mayor Tom Barrett said.
Tensions on Sunday gave way to calls for peace as activists gathered outside the affected businesses.
Smith's sister, Sherelle Smith, condemned violence carried out in her brother's name, saying the community needs those businesses.

So you're saying the millions and millions of immigrants after the civil war didn't do shit in helping to build america?
I guess the blacks just did everything back then, and fuck history and the truth. After all, black lies matter.

All those immigrants wouldn't have come here were it not for what the slaves built.
The USA would have been just another banana republic otherwise.
