I remember Chief Flynn’s emotional display of carrying the picture of a murdered child in his pocket. Now this.
With Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett standing behind him, Police Chief Ed Flynn shared what he called his four simple rules for not getting shot in Milwaukee.Don’t be part of a crime gang or crewDon’t be a drug dealerDon’t illegally carry a gunAnd finally, “If you are in an argument with a stranger, ask them how often they’ve been arrested. If they’ve been arrested more often than you’ve been arrested, concede the point…”Flynn’s remarks were met with laughter from the audience.But the laughter quickly died. Milwaukee is a city that saw 145 homicides and 633 non-fatal shootings last year. It has also seen high profile murders of children – none of whom violated Flynn’s “simple rules.”
*cough* Ahem…
How about only TWO rules?
1) Find a D.A. that will prosecute criminals, not ‘rehab’ them.
2) Failing that, get the hell out of Milwaukee.
