Almost sounds bad

Did you know in Milwaukee the police will not give you a ride anywhere in the cruiser, well the ride to jail is free. If you would get a flat on your bike and you are walking they will not give you a ride. If your car breaks down, they will not give you a ride. However if you tell them you are homeless and want a ride to a shelter or a residence they by law have to take you there as long as it is in Milwaukee County. Nice that the law abiding citizen gets the "take a walk" and the homeless get front door service.

Also today just in case you don't work in the core of Milwaukee there was a massive drug sweep between I-94 north to State St and from 27th st east to 17th st. It was wicked shit they had drug dogs all over. They had City, County, State and federal officers all over. I was leaving the building and there were at least 10 officers in full riot gear with automatic rifles that had two car loads of guys and gals belly down in the wet parking lot of Wendy's. They also had at least a dozen young men belly down across the street in the parking lot of the old Judy red hots on 27th. As I headed east the had at least 4 houses completely covered along Wells. It would be nice if they did more of these sweeps on a regular basis. Not just because Marquette was all up in arms about the problems around campus.
