I’m hearing he is advising the City Council in Milwaukee, with their veto proof nine members out to change things.  Basically, you have to totally let go of everybody and start from scratch.

Also, the police unions seem to be more and more being presented as the bad guys.  They are used to the violent policing style and will not let go without a fight.

Seems to me they are going to have a fight.

It's come down to a struggle to the finish between the two sides of the partisan divide. You could think of it as part of Cold Civil War. I think the odds favor the Blue State on this one - and it may well require completely eliminating and rebuilding the police forces.

Ain't much of struggle between the so called partisan divide at this point with Red America remaining neutral for the most part at this point while  whatever partisan divide or cultural rift that still exists within blue America is being settled. What you've been watching and seeing lately mainly pertains to blue America these days with the other side waiting to see which side of the blue divide prevails as the victor. I hate to say this but if your side doesn't have the balls to control a bunch of radicals nuts and a bunch criminals then you and every other clueless fool who posts here are going to get a taste of what it was like to live in the wild west. That seems to be the direction that the nuts and the criminals want to take blue America at this point and the liberal Democrats seem more eager to appease and cater to their demands then stop them at this point.
