Madison is going to be Little Chicago within five years

There is a truly disheartening story in the Cap Times today about how ‘wonderfully far’ the anti-cop movement in Madison has come since the George Floyd riot/protests there.

Efforts to remake policing in Madison in the year since George Floyd killing have been uneven

Everything about the article is sickening: from the way the reporter approaches it-buying completely into the idea that major law enforcement reforms are needed in America and the way to bring them about is to burn down the cities....

To the way the activists in Madison are certain they are winning.

Remember this -the next time there is a mass shooting incident at a Madison school, or when student fights and brawls occur more frequently and lead to more severe injuries. Then we’ll see if not having a cop in the school to respond immediately is a ‘big win’ for Madison residents, parents, students, and teachers.

How many dead students and teachers are worth it....to not have a potentially ‘triggering’ police officer in the school hallway that might make some thug kids feel uncomfortable?

We shouldn’t have to wait long in order to see how this goes, given that Madison officials have just made it known that their schools are ‘cop-free’ zones...where mass shooters won’t be confronted with a quick use of force against them.

Big win. Big win for the lefties in Madison. No cops in schools.

And MPS wants to follow suit, of course. The dangerous idiots in BLM Milwaukee ...and MPS’s foolish administrators want cops out of Milwaukee’s schools, too.

This is ‘progresses in policing. Having no authority figure or ability to respond to violence quickly-in our troubled schools-is ‘progress’ according to the left.

The entire story from the Cap Times is depressing, and speaks to Madison becoming more and more of a lawless city. I went to college there, and still love Madison. I’d like it to be as safe and crime-free as it was when i was walking all over the campus and the community back in the mid-80s.

There wasn’t even really a ‘bad part of town’ back then. Now?

State Street looks as if its businesses have been bombed out. There is nothing to draw student or resident activity there. There’s more violent crime and murder in that community, as well, and the elected officials in charge are cheering a ‘lawless city’. They have banned police from responding to desperate situations with any sort of defensible force....and....

They are about to put a team of social workers on the streets this summer, instead of cops.

That is total crap, and every single poll or survey ever done over the last year proves it.

I’d love to see the Cap Times engage in a genuine act of journalism and commission an honest poll related to policing in Madison.

The vast majority of residents would say they support the police and want more law enforcement funding, not less.

It’s the same story in every community.

Wrong. The community has always poured money into those things.

Cities like Madison and Milwaukee have a sliver of the population who are just criminals. Often violent thugs. And if they aren’t locked up and taken off the streets- that sliver of people is only going to grow...as the thug element gets bolder and bolder.

And for some reason, most Madison residents keep voting for the same foolish community leaders who think ‘ a new kindness’ by the rest of us can turn thugs into choir boys.

And so, Madison’s situation is going to get worse, before it ever gets better.

But hey-they are checking the boxes for their ‘new racism’ and bullying wokeism-aren’t they?

They have a black police chief, a black sheriff, a black superintendent. They are defunding the police. Making the streets and the schools less safe. Refusing to build new jail space.

Madison is going to be ‘Little Chicago’ within five years, the way this is going.
