Cruisers

Milwaukee has long had a history of problems with the teenage cruising around the city. Blocking roadways, driving through yards, shooting guns, drinking and drugs. The Police have done very little to stop the problem. Chief Haggerty has pretty much been the invisible police chief. She hasn't accomplished much in her time as the Chief. Michael McGee would have everyone believe that if you put police in the area you are just targeting the black community.

I think that it is time that we do whatever it takes to get the streets back in lawful hands. Quit handling all these problems with kid gloves. Drop the hammer on these people. Not just the cruisers, but the whole damn city. This city has gone into the crapper and no one is willing to step up and do the job. The Mayor, Chief of Police, City Government, County Government, all just sit back and tell you what is wrong, but not a one of them will get off their lazy butts and roll up their sleeves and dive in and turn this thing around.

Get Fired / Get Paid to sit at home!!!

Did you know that there is a law on the books in the State of Wisconsin that allows Milwaukee Police officers who are fired to continue to collect their paychecks while they appeal their firings. No kidding, even if the officer is fired for criminal activity. This law allows the officers to continue to receive their pay, while they fight it out in court, and appeal their firings through the proper channels, sometimes for months and years. This law only applies to Milwaukee, no other City, County, or State Law Enforcement Agencies. Things that make you go hmmmmm!!!!

Milwaukee Dangerous Place to Live?

Everyday when you turn on the News, The first 10 minutes always seems to be about the shootings, robberies, rapes, and other crime stories. It isn't even just happening at night. A lady gets raped during the morning, A man gets killed by gun fire driving to work, What is going on?

The leaders in the community aren't doing anything to stop it. One City Official said he would like to put National Guardsmen out on the streets. Now, I will say that might be a little bit of overkill, but, at least he is willing to do something. I haven't heard anyone else step up.

Michael McGhee Jr. blames the Police for everything and has even gone so far as to tell the Black Community not to snitch on each other. What a great leader he is.

What is this community going to do?

Bucks Player Bogut Loses His Temper

Milwaukee Bucks player Andrew Bogut got ejected from the game very late in the 4th quarter for a flagrant foul. Fans were yelling at him and he lost his cool giving the finger to them.

Is this how an NBA Player, or anyone should act?

I didn't see the game, but did see the news reports that followed. I was quite shocked to say the least. As an avid fan of the Milwaukee Bucks, I have not seen this behavior from any of them, let alone Bogut. The season has been less than stellar, and in fact has fallen far below the expectations.

I do not condone this behavior what so ever, and feel that Mr. Bogut owes an apology. I would also say that it was not clear what the fans where yelling. I have been at games and heard the hecklers, some can be down right nasty.

I am sure that there will be some fallout, both from the Bucks and the NBA. I am sure that Andrew Bogut is not feeling so proud of himself today, and I think that we need to reserve judgement on the Man until he has a chance to cool down and speak. He has been a good thing for the team and the community, and this one outburst or lack of judgement should not condemn him.

Green Plate for Sex Offenders

State Representative Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) wants to require that the most violent child molesters be forced to have a fluorescent green license plate on their vehicles. It would let people know when an offender is in the area.

Is this a good idea? I say why not. As a Parent, I sure would like to know when a sexual predator is in my area. The ACLU has a different opinion and is fighting it out in court in another state.

Why do these predators have the right of privacy, after they have violated someone Else's rights. We have to take a hard stand with criminals in general, or crime is going to continue to spiral out of control. Organizations like the ACLU need to get their priorities straight. They should be fighting for the rights of the people violated by these criminals, not fighting for their rights.

What do you think?

Steven Avery

The closing arguments are scheduled for Wednesday. Did he do it, or did the police set him up?

If you are from around here in Milwaukee, the police doing something illegal wouldn't shock you. But could they pull this off, I don't think so. Steve Avery appears guilty, guilty, guilty. But you have to admit there are some things that just make you wonder. The blood at the police station?

What do you think? Guilty or Not Guilty?
