This article was originally published on Pontiac Tribune by the same author. Since December 2016, I’ve emailed Kathleen Ehly–mayor of Wauwatosa Wisconsin– ten times as a concerned citizen, and journalist. These attempts have been met with a jarring, uniform silence from her office. It’s a response that’s not isolated to just me, and revolves around […]
Too Much Focus On What Police DO & Not Enough About What Policing IS
While most police criticism is focused on cases of individual police abuse, corruption and brutality; the more important discussion is about the agendas, inherent flaws and unintended consequences of the institution of policing as a whole. One of the most persistent reasons I see CopBlock.org contributors throw in the towel is frustration. Most of us […]
Kenosha Police Slam Premature Media Reporting While Making Premature Report
Irony knows no bounds, and the police chief in Kenosha, Wisconsin knows not his own irony. Riding the “fake news” train and high on censorship, Kenosha Police Department recently took to Facebook to decry a premature report by media that led the public to believe there had been an officer involved shooting.

Facebook Censorship Targeting “Fake News” Is A Cover For Oppressing Dissent

What We Learned From Wauwatosa PD’s Previously Unreleased Annual Reports
From 2004-2011, the Wauwatosa Police Department released yearly annual reports on its activities. The protocol wasn’t unusual, police normally provide some form of publicly available documentation. Of course, they don’t outline everything there is to know about a department, they’re simply transparent overviews. In 2012, unlike other departments, Wauwatosa’s data never arrived to the city’s […]
