The federal agents in Portland have broken the bones of peaceful protesters, wantonly pepper-sprayed veterans, and sabotaged medical supplies. Their acts are lawless attempts to silence protests of racial injustice in complete violation of American citizens' 1st amendment, 3rd amendment, and due process rights. The common council and city government must refuse to cooperate with irregular, unidentified federal agents acting in excess of their legal authority. Furthermore, I expect that Milwaukee's DA will prosecute any unlawful acts by federal agents to the fullest extent of the law.
Our community is failing when it comes to crime & murder. Children are being murdered. There is at least one killing or more almost everyday. Whatever is being done is not working. Milwaukee needs help. The common counsel is failing the citizens of Milwaukee. Swallow your pride and accept the help to get crime & murders under control now. Do it for the community. Right now the common counsel needs to accept responsibility for what is going on right now.
You people that don’t want help are clueless. They’re federal agents not troops and they’ve been in cities working with police for decades. The same people that don’t want this are the same people that are afraid to walk in some parts of Milwaukee after dark. I’m sure you be accepting help from Obama.
we should welcome the Federal agents with open arms. The common council isnt doing nothing to ensure the safety of Milwaukee residents. We are tired of being lied to when we hear Milwaukee is safe. Fact of the matter is Milwaukee is a fake on the great lakes.
By all metrics, especially those affecting people of color, Milwaukee is failing. Why wouldn't the Council accept federal resources to help make at least some inroads? Obviously the problems need to be addressed on many fronts and law enforcement is one of them. Many people in my neighborhood do not feel safe walking around at night. If federal resources can make people feel safe going to the park, then what's the problem? Because it comes from a president everyone loves to hate? For that we lose a chance to make people's lives safer? That's political grandstanding at its worst.
Donald Trump is a racist and a fascist. The stuff he does doesn’t even shock us any more, even though it is shocking and disgusting. This is another deeply troubling ploy to play to his base. He is the “law and order” guy and he is “protecting” federal monuments (racist, white supremacist monuments). Unfortunately and depressingly, this is what a very large segment of America wants. We must stand up and say this is NOT what we want and fight against it, even though we are tired. The US has a long history of waging war against people within its own borders, and depressingly, here we go again.
Violent crime is out of control in this city. Why are members of your committee standing in the way of additional help to combat it? We need all the help we can get, especially with the DNC coming. As the Public Safety Committee, you should be especially open to assistance that will increase public safety. Sometimes I think the biggest threat to the public safety of the city is the membership of the Common Council. Stop your political grandstanding and get out of the way and let local law enforcement work with its federal partners to make this city safer for all its citizens. Thank you.
The very notion that our federal government can unleash militarized forces on its citizens is terrifying. Seeing what has been going on in states where this is already furthers this perception. Putting more armed forces on the streets will not resolve any issues of violence it only ensures violence. It undermines Wisconsin citizens and leadership and is nothing more than military occupation. If we allow this we are opening the door for our democracy's destruction. I don't want to live in a country that looks similar to North Korea. Not all problems can be resolved with violence.
I fully support Alderman Rainey and Alderwoman Dimitrijevic!!! Thank you for standing up to the White House and their gross misuse of power for the purpose of a political show at our expense. Please take the strongest stance of opposition to this and pursue all possible actions to block these efforts!
Generally I would not approve of anything like this. However given that the mayor, council, and FPC are attempting to make Chief Morales into a scapegoat on the alter of BLM, I support federal agents coming in. I have zero faith in the police being allowed to do their jobs despite a huge spike in shootings and homicides because of a lack of funding and support.
"Through the first six months of the year, Milwaukee police detectives investigated 93% more homicides than they did during the same time period in 2019, a WISN 12 News review of police data revealed." quoted from WISN's website ...Couldn't we use the help?!
If the violent crime in the city doesn't bother you, maybe you're fortunate enough to live in the safer parts of the city. Not everyone is this fortunate.
Milwaukee is not burning. It is not under siege, is not being looted, businesses are not being destroyed. There have been peaceful protests every day, which is every citizens' right, since George Floyd's murder by Minneapolis cops. Trump is sending federal stormtroopers to our city in order to prove that he is in charge & has everything under control. This, along with these troops' unconstitutional aggressions in other cities, is a flagrant, obvious attempt to impose a fascist sense of "order". Reject Trump's fascist agenda. Restrict federal agents to federal property.
Even if the federal troopers do not interfere with demonstrators, they should not add to our police anyone who is not hired locally and is under local control. This looks like an attempt to disrupt efforts underway to reform our criminal justice system. It is designed to perpetuate police injustice.
I agree that we should NOT welcome irregular federal agents to the City of Milwaukee. There's absolutely nothing good they bring, and plenty of trouble. The thin and transparent excuse that they are being sent to deal with a local crime wave is garbage. We need to continue to allocate more mental health, public health, educational and economic resources to crime problems. Not more law enforcement; and certainly not due-process violating fascists.
Keep the GOP fascists out of our city. Prohibit the use of any public facilities or resources for their use. Require them to wear identification of they operate inside the city. File a restraining order for their presence anywhere except federal property. Any citizens that feel safe with uniformed military troops in our city, clearly are delusional and are willing to submit to invading forces that meet their racial/political bias.
