Illuminating Hidden Truths

Derek Walker

DEREK WALKER died in police custody in July of 2011

Once a suspect is in custody, it is the responsibility of all attending personnel from an arresting agency to secure medical assistance to a distressed incarcerated person.

There appears to be no operating standards of accounting of officers actions when deaths occur of incarcerated subjects.

Consider two paid lifeguards watching each other and both watching a distressed swimmer as he drowns.

Both guards unaware that the swimmer is really in distress 

Both guards unaware of any medical issues.

Both guards believing the swimmer is in safe water

Both guards believing the swimmer is acting or hypercritical

Both guards considering the victim to be ok.

Then the swimmer dies under their watch. 

Both guards had the responsibility to save the victim.

The Derek Walker case is a similar scenario with a few twists. After the officers realized Derek had collapsed, one of the officers acted , the other watched.

  

Once incarcerated, a person cannot help themselves and are 100 percent dependent on the arresting agency.  At this point it doesn't matter if he is guilty or not, an officer must remember that he is now the responsible custodian of the arrested person.

My point is this, to give prosecutorial  immunity to an officer who was present, empowered to act, did nothing and witnessed a distressed incarcerated subject die in police custody is prosecutorial insanity.

With this case, Flynn continues to bait and play with race cards.

Because Flynn likes it no other way

It is sad to watch my fine friends in the D.A.'s office and MPD going about their daily chores without passion or zeal,  they are just waiting to retire.  Under Flynn's leadership, the inability to lead by example, the false reporting of crime statistics, the zippergate fiasco and more has destroyed the esprit de corps of MPD. 

The MPD Department has become a house of cards under Flynn's leadership and Flynn is an embarrassment to Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee ranks high on an unwelcome list. USA Today ranked the city second in the country for police brutality. It's based mainly on the Frank Jude beating case where eight officers were charged. Milwaukee's incoming police chief reacted to that news Tuesday. “Every time we have a crisis, it’s an opportunity to learn from it and do better next time,” Ed Flynn said. Ed Flynn promises to turn the department around and focus on the good work officers do.
