    acting Milwaukee Sheriff Rick Schmidt

    Good news, his ass lost the Democratic primary the other night, and he’ll be the last vestige of David Clarke’s stain in that office. Here is your likely new county sheriff come November: Earnell Lucas, who was the progressive choice in the race.

    Milwaukee County’s interim sheriff loses primary

    The winner of the Democratic primary is Major League Baseball security official Earnell Lucas. He’d worked for the Milwaukee Police Department for 25 years, and had the backing of Mayor Tom Barrett, District Attorney John Chisholm, and Congresswoman Gwyn Moore.

    Lucas is the likely winner in the November general election. There are no registered Republican candidates, although Deputy James Villwock has announced a write-in campaign.

    Times, they are a’changin’. Looks like Milwaukee finally got tired of this shit.

    Schmidt said he wanted it known that when he heard the allegations of misconduct, “I personally called the head of the Black Panthers. That’s right, the sheriff called the head of the Black Panthers 

    Whenever someone offers up info like this unprompted I am immediately suspicious.

      “Paging Black Friend! Black Friend to Aisle Three! Cleanup on Aisle Three!”

      That's what it sounds like.

      It’s the end of that last sentence that makes it sounds very Trump:

      with whom I have an excellent relationship.

      The kind of qualifier that Donny loves to throw in there, to pretend that he gives a shit and actually relates to people who aren’t rich, white and Republican.

      Yup. You don’t know if you are dead until the suspect opens the door.

      Gave a star to Hello_America, Out for Blood for invoking the “Schrodinger’s Gat” hypothesis, but wish I could give you five stars for your response!

    Does this fool want a cookie for calling Black Panthers? Good for him on the rest of it, but none of us are shocked you can use a phone, sheriff.

      He talked to both the Black Panthers. Original costume and fancy gold one.

    “Watch the video for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments.”

    Personally, I think that no one is paying attention to a Buck getting tased for no reason anymore. Kudos to this PD for being racist enough to not even need PR.

    Wow, 85 mph through a stop sign indicates at least 40, potentially 50+ mph over the speed limit, those usually mean you’re going to jail, at least for the night, and your car is getting impounded. Guns are probably still an overreaction to the situation, but in all likelihood he was going to jail either way, combine that with not getting out of the car when ordered, I don’t know, that’s not entirely clear cut.

    Of course this all assumes that dash cams and all that line up with what the officers are saying or other extenuating circumstances were not in play.

      I know exactly why he was scared to put the car in park, shut the engine off, or even stick his hands back inside the car at all...he almost got shot with both arms sticking completely out the window. He’s probably like......seen the news before.

      Derp.

      Plus they didn’t actually get a speed on the car.  They ‘estimated his speed’.  Which basically means nothing about what his actual speed was.

    On the one hand, I do long for terrible things to happen to people who run stop signs in cars. On the other, perhaps my personal petty misanthropy should not be the rock upon which the state builds a justice system.

    His father reportedly showed up on the scene and chewed him out in front of the deputies.

    He’s 26 and he has a dad who cares enough about him to chew him out. This was a pretty depressing story until this part.

    Look at the guy in the grey shirt next to the idiot speaking. He knows somebody is lying. You can tell it all over his face.
