On Wednesday evening, two teens were shot.

Two teenage boys were shot and wounded on Wednesday evening, August 14th on Milwaukee’s north side.

Police say the double shooting took place near 25th and Burleigh just after 7:30 p.m. Both teens were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Good thing school is starting soon.

Then, the teens will be back in school and too busy studying to get involved in stuff that leads to shootings. They'll be hitting the books and preparing for a promising future, right?

Wrong.

Milwaukee needs a new mayor and a new police chief.

When leaders aren't producing and they aren't effective, they are replaced.

The time for replacing Milwaukee's mayor is LONG overdue.

Tom Barrett is a complete failure. Good grief, he's letting the city rot. Why are residents content with the city's death spiral that Barrett's been overseeing?

Ed Flynn seemed promising when he arrived, but he hasn't delivered. Of course, he doesn't control the resources he receives, but he does control his policing philosophy. To be effective, Flynn needed to translate theory into action, talk into results. He didn't.

At present, Flynn seems more concerned with staying in Barrett's good graces than turning the city around.
