Another day, another gun found in a Milwaukee Public School locker.
From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
A 15-year-old boy remains in custody today after school officials at Bradley Tech High School followed up on a tip that allegedly led them to a loaded handgun and marijuana in his locker.
Police were called to the school, 700 S. 4th St., about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Officers arrested the student on charges of possession with intent to deliver and possession of a dangerous weapon by a child, according to Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz.
Schwartz said there are officers assigned to the school, however, they were at a district station processing another arrest from the school that occurred earlier in the day.
She did not have information immediately available on the nature of the other arrest.
This time the gun was loaded.
About a month ago, an MPS student was arrested after a gun was found in his locker at Pulaski High School.
That one wasn't loaded, and the story didn't get much attention.
Is this latest instance of a student with a gun at a Milwaukee Public School going to be more of a wake up call to the community?
I doubt it.
This is a killer:
Schwartz said there are officers assigned to the school, however, they were at a district station processing another arrest from the school that occurred earlier in the day.
THERE AREN'T ENOUGH COPS AT THE SCHOOL TO HANDLE THE CRIME.
THE OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO THE SCHOOL WERE ARRESTING SOME OTHER KID.
Unbelievable.
What really bugs me is that Bradley Tech is a state-of-the-art facility and better equipped than many suburban and private schools.
The educational opportunities are there for the taking.
The kids do have a chance.
This 15-year-old with the LOADED gun and drugs is being offered a promising future and he's throwing it away.
What a waste!
Why should tax payers be expected to funnel even more dollars into the schools?
The reality is too many MPS students have NO interest in getting an education.
Very depressing.
Note to Mayor Tom Barrett: Tougher gun laws won't alter that reality.
