Milwaukee Needs This
It's time for a new attitude in Milwaukee.
- Schwartz reiterated the department's belief that people in the area have information on the boys' disappearance but have not come forward.
- Family and friends of Raheim Patrick, the 15-year-old boy who was attacked at a bus stop and later died, said they could think of no reason why anyone would want to harm the teen, according to MPS officials who met with his mother and others Thursday night.
- During the robbery, which lasted about two minutes, four customers came and went, said Anne E. Schwartz, department spokeswoman. None has come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call (414) 935-7360 or anonymously at (800) 78-CRIME.

Why is it, you think, that central city youth and residents generally, have different relationships with law enforcement than, say, suburbia?
I don't know that they do. A lot of kids have traditionally resisted authority figures, be they in Cedarburg, Tosa, Milwaukee...
The problem in the city of Milwaukee rests not primarily with 'youth' but the adults who also refuse to cooperate with those who are trying to keep their neighborhoods safe.
Ok, why is this phenomena typically found more in the central city than elsewhere?
The point is that there is a larger problem of the relationship between these folks and law enforcement and mainstream authority generally.
Its not simply that they like crime in their neighborhoods, is it?
Looks like we were thinking along the same lines this morning...
