The National Guard has been deployed to Kenosha, Wis., after a night of civil unrest following the shooting of a Black man by police over the weekend, the latest incident to unleash widespread anger over policing practices. Gov. Tony Evers said the 125 Guard members would be tasked with supporting local law enforcement in Kenosha by helping to "protect critical infrastructure and assist in maintaining public safety and the ability of individuals to peacefully protest." On Sunday night, protesters took to the streets after the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man shot in the back. Officers initially responded to reports of a domestic dispute, the Wisconsin Department of Justice said. During riots that mirrored similar unrest in other cities, a car dealership lot was set ablaze, buildings were vandalized and one officer was reportedly hit with a brick. The county courthouse and an administrative building were closed Monday due to vandalism.

This Ingraham M-6 by Police Ordnance looks a bit like a Thompson... that was the point. Of all the lookalikes, these were among the earliest, and were the best quality - some would say better than the Thompson itself.

The M-6 was the sixth firearm designed by Gordon Ingraham, an open-bolt blowback, and dates back to 1949. Chambered in 45acp, it featured a "progressive" select-fire trigger pack (a half pull for a single shot, full pull for automatic fire).

The M-6 was designed to serve as a police and civilian SMG with a similar feel to a Thompson (familiar to returning US soldiers) but significantly less heavy, less expensive to produce, and less difficult to service. Unfortunately, a steady supply of WWII surplus would knock the M-6 off the law enforcement and civilian market in the US, and despite some foreign sales, the M-6 was discontinued.

Gordon Ingraham left Police Ordnance, and some 20 years later went on to market his 10th (& 11th) firearm designs, the Military Arms Corp M-10 and M-11 SMGs.
