It remains unclear how police intelligence put the pieces together for the claim that outside agitators were responsible for organizing violence through electronic media.
It seems unlikely we're going to be told as that would likely reveal on-going surveillance methods on the CRP that national agencies don't want revealed.
It's also pretty clear, and Police Chief Flynn understands this, that any outside agitation --IF-- it was present only ignited a situation in which flammable resentment had locally accumulated. It seems to go unnoticed for example, that the gas-station that was criminally burned was the site of an inter-racial shooting in which the owner shot at black teens just a couple weeks ago.
I get that your post, like many on DU is a show of your personal position, which is support for law and order, and incorporates common attitudes in WI that are phobic about Illinoisans. Congrats, you are mainstream and one of us, although perhaps I'm deviant, because I question things that look like more of the calls to crack down on roving bands of predators that encourage police profiling and targeting of unreasonable methods that have contributed to the reservoir of flammable resentment.
So getting beyond the emotional appeal of building us-ness. Let's stop and -think-, about what is being asked for in such emotional appeals.
HOW DO YOU CHASE PEOPLE OUT OF ANYWHERE IN THE US and refuse to let them back in? IS THAT EVEN REMOTELY DESIRABLE IN A FREE NATION?
It's unclear to me how establishing a police-state mentality in the Hood will do much to make residents there feel normalized rather than targeted for more profiled policing.
Moreover, the basic infrastructure to restrict freedom of movement in and out of Wisconsin and Milwaukee doesn't exist, does it?
In the US we don't require internal passports be in order so that a person can leave a city or to cross state borders. To my knowledge we don't have laws that allow states to ban undesirables from entering their jurisdictions. We do have cameras installed at all Illinois toll plazas and at many major intersections between Chicago and Milwaukee. But although it seems some want such a thing, on Milwaukee's north and northwest sides we don't (at least yet) have an active camera surveillance system in place that is capable of facial recognition in the dark.
I get that DU has taken a turn toward the 'center right' over the years, but despite our troubles and the interpretation of Germanic immigration into Milwaukee as creating the "New Munich", no one here wants an East German state security apparat established but fake democrat Sheriff David Clark jr.
