Hate to say it, but this kind of thing comes from the top. Just like Viet Nam, if you choose some focused statistics, you may distort the measurements. An involved manager understands that. And acts when this kind of thing is alleged IN THE NEWSPAPER....

Lange said he told an officer about the beatings but noticed the officer didn't write anything down or note his name. Bublitz tried to tell an officer that her three-speed bicycle had been stolen and that one of her friends was hurt but said the officer told her he was looking for evidence.

"About 20 of us stayed to give statements and make sure everyone was accounted for. The police wouldn't listen to us, they wouldn't take our names or statements. They told us to leave. It was completely infuriating," Bublitz said.

Bewildered,
Because Patch.com is a large internet company, they make their money from advertising. Now days internet advertising is tailored to the end user, so that different users will see different ads, even though they may be at the same url. Showing your true colors.

Hey genius, that's an ad.

@Bewildered: We'll take ads from anyone...Obama, Romney, Ron Paul...doesn't matter to us. And it absolutely does not influence what we cover.

Duh, Herr Schmitz. way to overstate the obvious. Putting a little Irish whiskey in your altera coffee this morn....as usual.

And Mr Patch, do ya think there just might be a reason Obama advertises but conservative would touch Patch? Could it be content ?c Come on, you're just a local attempt by Huffyto get the left wing talking points out. Too bad you have to accept counter balancing comments from the right. I sure Huffy is trying to figure out how to limit those. Get real

He is in support of his PD but, after all they did come out and endorse Walker!!

It was a shameful moment when Barrett stiffed his own police memorial. He was on the program. There are important moments when politics should be set aside and we should all be together in honoring those who protect us, like Monday.

We want a return to civility, we maximize those moments.

he took a tire iron to the face for that one lady outside of State Fair.

Ah, that's right. I thought his momma dropped him.

1. Revitalization of the Menomonee Valley district.
2. Workforce development initiatives
3. Working with police and high-crime neighborhoods to build trust and reduce illegal guns
4. Sensible budgeting

Tom Barrett isn't a chest-beating Rudy Giuliani but he has done good things for Milwaukee and our state.

Still don't see any results posted, only "initiatives"

Walker = results. Proof? we're having a temper tantrum recall.

I've got one! $100 million dollar train that runs in circle. We have to rip up all the streets but it's going to be super cool like back in the 1800's when trains came of age. Then were replaced by cars, but that was a big mistake RECALL cars and buses and trucks and bikes and rubber and stuff that actually works.

Steve, as usual you demonstrate you have the IQ of room temperature.

Walker has created a built to blow up budget. How do we know that? His experience as County Executive.

Of course these are accomplishments. I love you clowns. You can be hit in the face with facts and you still don't wake up out of your stupor.

Personal attack

jibberish emotional walker is evil initiatives are accomplishments.

Tom has started many long term projects. Take a look at Bay View these days. It has done a turn around very nicely. Look at a number of neighborhoods around Milwaukee. These are things that do not happen over night. Made many offices in his administration that he has streamlined for efficacy. Tom does things that the Urinal/senile never prints and never will. That paper has been at odds with every Mayor since Zeidler, then Henry, Norquiest and now Tom! Tom has more ideas than most people have thoughts in a year.

Bay View, Menomonee Valley, these are good things. It's difficult sometimes to distinguish between county and city projects. The Park East corridor is county--Walker could have made that area a showpiece for his administration but if you drive past the area still looks more like a bomb blast area than anything else. In contrast you have the new Harley museum, nice restaurants, etc., in the MV and Bay View is a gem (Anodyne!).

On the one hand you have Barrett, who has made the most of available resources in the city, and Walker, who could have done far more grantseeking, etc., to help Milwaukee--and didn't. One might say that a guy who apparently didn't notice a pile of extra computer equipment in his office suite couldn't be blamed for leaving money on the table that could have helped the largest city under his administration...? Or cancelling a public art contract that contained cancellation penalties? (Wait, he was warned about that.) Or illegally firing county security guards? (Wait, he was warned about that too.) Who knows. All I can say is, Wisconsin can do better than Scott Walker for governor and Tom Barrett is the answer.

Barrett has increased the organic content of Lake Michigan!

-----Walker has created a built to blow up budget.

No, Doyle blew up a budget. And he stole money from a Patients fund and stiffed Minnesota reciprocity to try and cover up the bs.

2. Workforce development initiatives

And yet Milwaukee unemployment is up 38 percent....

Walker TRIED to do something with the Park East corridor but his liberal county board wouldn't allow it unless companies agreed to their costly, numerous "green" regulations.

Dorothy, your caps key is stuck. Or is that your outdoor voice that you think makes your point?

I CONCUR WITH YOU DOROTHY....BACK WARD BARRETT, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, BACK WARD BARRETT.

I again congratulate the marketing teams that have been working on the Walker campaign ads. They have developed verbiage that delivers misrepresentation in an exquisite timbre of derision, topped with an alliterative insult, that inserts fluidly into the mid-cognital brain and immediately saturates.

Ever see or hear a Barrett ad?

Remember Barrett's bridges falling down at the zoo interchange? Where did he spend the money he didn't spend on maintaining them?

You've completely missed the point.

This isn't about crime rates actually going up or down, it's about the mislabeling of serious crimes as less serious than they actually were and how that effectively distorted the reported crime rates. It's got nothing to do with budget cuts, property taxes or funding to municipalities.

Yeah, I have trouble calling Obama "president" too. And michelle "first lady" what a joke. You want civility? Has to go both ways.

Mr. Schmitz....

You may want to do some reading..... http://content.clearchannel.com/cc-common/mlib/1176/05/1176_1337887692.pdf

And while you're at it...see how much you ACTUALLY saved here: http://isavewithact10.com/

Have fun! See you at the Walker victory rally! ;)

A billion dollars in savings so far, and more to come.

I believe Barrett wants to import more Spanish companies that discriminates against Americans.

While a lightning rod for controversy and recall, Wisconsin's Act 10 has paid significant dividends to taxpayers, according to a new analysis by the Beacon Hill Institute for Public Policy Research, at Suffolk University in Boston.

Act 10, which curbed collective bargaining for most unionized public employees, in the whole has saved taxpayers more than $1 billion, according to The Economic Impacts of the Wisconsin Budget Repair Act. The study is slated for release this week by Beacon Hill Institute, a prominent free market think tank.

AND YOU HATE FAITH-BASED VOTING.

Funny how Walker was re-elected over and over in a Democratic county. Maybe that's the faith based voting.

don't hold your breath.....there's nothing to report

I have no criticsim of Barrett;
“To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.”
― Aristotle

Typical Non-producer, CEOs are criminals.

Explain how the adrenaline rush kept the officers from "over classifying" the offenses.

Remember that race based attack by the River where the victims said the police wouldn't take reports?

Most of the 11 people who told the Journal Sentinel they were attacked or witnessed the attacks on their friends said that police did not take their complaints seriously. They each said police responded to the scene quickly and tended to the injured, but officers did not take statements from them and told them to leave the area.

"You've got 20-plus people giving eyewitness accounts. I'm very surprised that they said it wasn't a mob," said Mowrer.

Lange said he told an officer about the beatings but noticed the officer didn't write anything down or note his name. Bublitz tried to tell an officer that her three-speed bicycle had been stolen and that one of her friends was hurt but said the officer told her he was looking for evidence.

Oh joy, no more cats stuck in trees. And in his spare time he boycotts Wisconsin businesses.

I figure Barrett will pick up three to five percentage points in the next poll, and score a come-from-behind victory June 5th.

Richard Head, Come out of your closet. Have you ever heard of Mandates? That is what the State requires of the Cities, towns, villages, etc. But if you do not fund those Mandates the locals have to raise taxes to cover the States requirements. Federal Mandates are in the same boat. Require them to do things, then fund them or quit bitching when we come with our hand out for the $$ to cover them. Wake up.
