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.

You mean follow the Constitution? Next you'll be saying that felons should have free speech, need a warrant to be searched and horror of horrors, have the right to due process and be protected from self-incrimination and double jeopardy.

You don't so much get the concept that committing a crime means giving up your rights, do you? A hell of a lot of them, really. Every sentence ever was a violation of the defendant's rights if you want to be reductio ad absurdum about it.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Sentences are given by Judges and often end. Division of power, legislature writes the laws, executive enforces them and judiciary decides on guilt and punishment. This is why the 1st says Congress will pass no laws limiting speech rather then the government will never limit speech.
