Mayor Barrett Caught in a Lie

So remember during the last big outbreak of shootings in Milwaukee?  Mayor Barrett came up with the novel idea of adding more patrols to the streets in the Month of August.

Well guess what?  That didn't happen. 

Bob Donovan, who is a candidate for Mayor, called out the Mayor on this and Chief Flynn sprung into action.  He first tried to defend the Mayor with a lot of double talk.  Then it was reported last night by the Police Union that they are now asking for officers to volunteer to pick up extra patrols.

So here we are on the 20th day of August, 11 days remaining and they are just now looking to add the patrols?! 

Well I guess Donovan was 100% right.  Barrett was just giving us all lip service and doesn't really take the crime problem in the city of Milwaukee serious.  He had no plans to add patrols.  Had it not been for Bob Donovan there would still be nothing going on. 

It is definitely a time for change in the leadership in the city of Milwaukee.  The Mayor needs to go and the Chief of Police needs to go.  Maybe the Democrats who spent so much money on the push to get rid of Sheriff Clarke should pony up some of that money to get new leadership in the City.
