Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has declared a State of Emergency for Milwaukee County and said the National Guard could step in “as the adjutant general deems necessary” following a night of protests that turned violent in response to a fatal police shooting of an armed African-American man.

Walker said he put the guard on alert following a request from Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. and after talking with Mayor Tom Barrett and Major Gen. Donald Dunbar.
