Donald Trump says the police shooting of a black man in Milwaukee was 'JUSTIFIED'

Presidential hopeful Donald Trump says initial evidence pointed to the police shooting of a black man in Milwaukee being justified as he visited the city.
The Republican nominee has been vocal in his support of law enforcement during a spate of protests across the country over high-profile police shootings
Following his visit to the Wisconsin city, he told Fox News: "It's law and order. We have to obey the laws or we don't have a country.

"We have a case where good people are out there trying to get people to sort of calm down and they're not calming down and we have our police who are doing a phenomenal job."
Violent protests broke out in Milwaukee on Saturday night after the death earlier in the day of Sylville Smith, 23.
Authorities said Smith was stopped for acting suspiciously and then fled, and was shot by police because he was carrying an illegal handgun and refused orders to drop it.
Trump added: "But the gun was pointed at his (a police officer's) head supposedly ready to be fired. Who can have a problem with that? That's what the narrative is.
"Maybe it's not true. If it is true, people shouldn't be rioting."

Around two dozen peaceful protesters greeted Trump on Tuesday evening outside a Milwaukee theater where he taped a town hall session with Fox News.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump held a roundtable discussion with Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and Inspector Edward Bailey.
Clarke, who is black and spoke last month at the Republican National Convention, has been blunt in his assessment of the unrest, writing in an opinion piece for The Hill that "it was a collapse of the social order where tribal behavior leads to reacting to circumstances instead of waiting for facts to emerge."
