My question is if you lived in Milwaukee right now, how would you change your day to day life?

I would change my address.

1.  assuming moving and changing jobs is not an option.
     so, find alternate routes to work.   Try really really hard to NOT travel alone, find secure parking areas that are a SHORT walking distance if possible.   Stay away from public transportation if at all possible.  Carpool whenever you can.  Go completely gray man, stay with groups, blend in, try to have nothing to carry, nothing in your hands and forget about stylish.  Wear clothing you can actually move in, something tough and durable.  For women, if the attractive business attire is required, cover it with something, put the heels in a purse and wear sneakers or flats, don't put makeup on until your actually at work and remove it before leaving for the day, and especially for woman, stay with a pack, preferably with some alpha or alpha appearing males and not metro's. 

2.  If your going to carry, be prepared for the worst possible outcomes. 

Am I the only one who has noticed that in all of the news footage, they aren't using any of the accepted forms of non lethal crowd control?  I see a lot of riot shields, and helmets.  But no pepper spray, no stun grenades, and not a water cannon to be seen.  Could maybe one of our LEOs give an explanation as to why that is?  I'm truly curious.

My guess?  They don't want it to turn worse, to the point where lethal force is required.  Anymore, with every black person (up to, and including POTUS) taking any justified shooting of a black offender as a personal slight, they just can't take the risk of breaking out the water cannons.

OK, that's a plausible reason for not using the water cannon.  But that doesn't explain the absence of other non lethal means.  Flash bangs (stun grenades), oleoresin capsicum spray and/or grenades, hell even beanbag launchers for the more aggressive "protestors" would be apropos.  Something.

In my mind, that goes for all of the above.  Stopping the riot violently will not end well.  It may end this riot, but ten more will spring up to riot about the riot.

Not to be a wet blanket here, but there are lives, businesses, and property at risk here. You want to protest? You protest in a nonviolent political manner. If you want to use violence to shake up society and make a political point, then don't be surprised if the same means are used to civilise you. If they can't be reasoned with, they greatly narrow the options of the LEO's on scene.

They are animals.  They can not be reasoned with.  We as a society have allowed this problem to spiral out of control.

Personally, I'd be more inclined to dump a couple rounds center mass, and be done with it.

Personally, I would favor a daisy cutter, but once again, that would only make the larger problem worse.

And I love the use of CHUD. I haven't heard that in years. I might pick it up and dust it off myself 

Been using it for years.  Not many know the reference.  Be my guest.

Wasn't it from a movie titled C.H.U.D. ?         Sometime back in the 1980's if memory serves.   

(warning,  I am actually starting to rant and unload here)

Not there, not involved in those discussions, however,  I would imagine that upper level admin has verboten those items.   simply based on their own careers.  as in, , , , , 

ok guys,  it's only things.  it's only property.  let the hood rats/misunderstood masses/historically abused/buzzword of the day/ destroy what ever they want.  Let them get the bad publicity, let them show themselves as what they are.   I'm not going to sacrifice my career, savings account, home, family,  and retirement, just to save property.


not saying it's right.  Not saying it's professional.   just saying, , , it is.   over and over and over.   Look at the Lt. in Berkley. Look at the officer that is still in hiding from Ferguson.  Look at the Soro's money and the avowed objectives of groups like BLM.  dismantle the police. 

It's a social contract and when a significant portion do not abide by the social contract, those hired and payed to give their full time attention to specific duties, that are incumbent on every one,  the contact is in danger, society is in danger and until such time as a "man on a horse" appears, the significant population rises up and says "Enough",  as long as the SJW are in charge, 

hell.  it will be hell on earth and while I will stand up and fight.  I can't do it alone.  Even all my brothers standing alongside me,  WE can't do it alone.  until our society again stands up and says, this ends now.

For me, that's what I'm looking at in this years political circus.  HRC and it's going to continue down on the death spiral.  DT and "maybe" we have a chance.  GJ and his idiot running mate libertarian ?  all that does is throw the election to HRC.  freaking stupid choices, but there it is.  Democrats don't vote Libertarian.  so all he is doing is splitting the GOP vote and ensuring the downward trend continues. 



in today's world, run by the authority figures (can't use the word leaders) in those locations, with the political outlooks involved at every level and the national news media spin of every event to suit their agenda instead of the truth . . . . . . .


There are days that I am in awe of my brothers that they are still showing up for duty.

I'm going to need a translator for that one  .

The Hunting of the Snark.

*** "That's exactly the way I have always been told
   That the capture of Snarks should be tried!")

"'But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
   If your Snark be a Boojum! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
   And never be met with again!'*****

I agree Chief. There is no way I would remain on duty in Baltimore, Milwaukee, etc. They should have voted with their feet months ago.

Let. It. Burn.

I am blessed to have the community I'm in and the bosses that I do. Our people here believe in law and order and do not want it to turn into Atlanta, Charlotte or Raleigh. As one of the LT's said after a particularly vicious fight and multiple arrests at the casino with the accompanying claims of racism, "Screw 'em. This is still Cherokee." He was echoing our chief of police's philosophy that a person may act a fool back wherever it is they are from but they will behave their damn self while visiting here.
