“We’ve had a slight increase in domestic violence homicides this year but the biggest driver of our homicides is arguments and fights and retaliation among people with criminal records,” Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said Thursday.
“Some of our challenge is simply consistently being able to deter armed offending through the criminal justice system,” he added. “The penalties are too weak.”
The penalties are fine. What’s weak are the prosecutors and judges who too often fail to implement them.
Wow.
How did he say this without Barrett?
This will make Flynn much less popular at the soft on crime liberal meetings.
