Milwaukee 911

This city is just getting crazier by the minute. Everybody is getting robbed, shot, and the worst part is that I have become use to it for years now. When I tell some people about some of the things that go on they look as if the city is a war zone. Just last week I was walking near North Division and going to the gas station and as I did, somebody had got shot and the people just sat on their porches as if nothing had happened and it took the pigs forever to get there. The things that happen near campus are bad, but they don't compare to the things that happen in the rest of the city. Its like people stop caring because they know there is nothing that they can do that will immediately stop the chaos. The people who take care of the crime scene don't even care. I was walking past a bar where somebody had got shot and there was still blood and clothes near the scene and I almost stepped in it. The thing that angers me the most is how the news presents the stories. Anybody who has ever spent any time in jail or has any type of connection is somehow labeled as having gang affiliation or a criminal record. It does not matter how small the offense is, the news presents it as they want. They present stories to make themselves look good and they do that by showing that they were the first to break the story, but what they don't do is gather all the facts and they always find a way to use the most unreliable of sources.

Somehow these geniuses always feel that what the police tell them is what really happened, but whether they realize it or not their sources are some of the perps. Milwaukee has some of the most crooked cops, even though there are plenty of good ones, who benefit from criminal activity. Back to the news: They present lies and half of a story to people who don't even live in the area and know nothing about the city, but somehow find a way to form an opinion based on dumb, preconceived ideas about a city that they might have never have stepped foot in. A lot of the people who feel that way are people who live in sheltered communities where there is very little or nothing to do and they feel that any city that is huge population wise is just as bad.
