Milwaukee Curfew, Sherman Park Closed

This is smart.





From News/Talk 1130 WISN:
One of the points driven home by the mayor was that the 10:00 p.m. weekday curfew for teenagers in the City of Milwaukee will be more strictly enforced.

Sherman Park will be closed to the public at 6:00 p.m. Monday night, and reopen at 6:00 a.m. Tuesday, August 16th, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.
This is about protecting the law-abiding citizens of the Sherman Park neighborhood and the city of Milwaukee.

It's the right thing to do.

Milwaukee Officer-Involved Shooting

What precipitated the violence in Milwaukee?

From WISN:

The violence near North Sherman Boulevard and West Burleigh Street exploded after a 23-year-old man was shot and killed by an officer following an afternoon traffic stop about a block away, on the 3200 block of North 44th Street, Capt. Mark Stanmeyer said.

Two people bolted from the car during that traffic stop, Stanmeyer said. An officer, a 24-year-old man with six years of service with the department, shot the victim during a foot chase. He died at the scene, and Stanmeyer said the semiautomatic handgun with which the man was armed was taken in a burglary in Waukesha in March of this year. The victim of that burglary reported that 500 rounds of ammunition were stolen with the handgun.

The man who was killed had a "lengthy arrest record," Stanmeyer said, though he did not offer details. The other person who police say ran from the car, another 23-year-old man, was taken into custody.


Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, during a midnight media briefing, clearly stated that the victim was armed with a gun, ran from the police, and would not drop the gun when ordered to do so.



A cop did not execute a law-abiding, unarmed man.
