“Law enforcement officers serve and protect us by risking their lives every day to help keep us safe. I am relieved to hear that the injuries suffered by the police officer in Milwaukee today appear to be non-fatal and I wish the officer a speedy recovery.
“As we continue to wait for all of the facts to emerge, I commend the MPD for providing information on this afternoon’s critical incident quickly and transparently. Providing information early in investigations is crucial to public safety. It appears the suspect in today’s incident was wanted for a domestic abuse injunction and may have exchanged gunfire with the police prior to taking his own life. Milwaukee is on pace to set a murder record for a third year in a row, as we are experiencing historic violence and a drug epidemic across Wisconsin. We need leaders that will enforce the rule of law and stand with our law enforcement, not the political rhetoric and public safety failures of Governor Evers and Attorney General Kaul.” |
