Fifty Shades of Brown:
Day Four

20,233 Crime Prevention Incidents Reports were filed last year by the Sheriff's Department.

Below is the response to my Wisconsin Public Records Request regarding crime prevention incident reports.


"The Racine County Sheriff's Office has no known records responsive to your request in it's possession or control"



Why did Sheriff Schmaling and Deputy Sheriff John Hanrahan have Michael Lanzdorf, Racine County Corporation Counsel respond to a simple and benign records request.

Here is the reality of the Racine County Sheriff Crime Prevention incident reports.


The deputies are mostly busy doing nothing and claiming they are doing something "special".

Over 55 incidents a day makes it look like they are busier than what they are really are.

An old adage comes to mind,

"Figures lie and liars figure"


 " A crime prevention incident"

So what do you think they are doing with these stats and what are they hiding?

Corruption in local governments at all levels is now accepted and normal. They are all covering each others backs.

Look at Milwaukee:

Tanya Weyker of Milwaukee, Wisconsin has been fighting for over a year to clear her name and get her medical bills paid following a serious car accident with a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Deputy.

WITI Fox6 investigated Weyker’s story in depth and reported about her ongoing struggle. It all started on the night of February 20, 2013, when Deputy Joseph Quiles, with the airport division of the Sheriff’s Office, T-boned Weyker’s Camry, sending it spinning into a tree. It would be discovered later that Weyker broke her neck in four places. She told the station, “It was a miracle I wasn’t paralyzed.”

After the accident, police and sheriff’s deputies interviewed those on the scene. Weyker recalled, “One deputy asked if I had anything to drink that night and I told him how I just had a few sips of a friend’s drink.” The deputy noted that she had a light odor of alcohol on her breath and that her speech was slurred. Another note said her eyes looked red and glassy. But Weyker, a 25-year-old with a spotless record said, “I explained to him my eyes were red and glassy because I was crying.” When asked about any prescription medication she had taken, Weyker told the deputy that she last took Vicodin the previous week when she had her wisdom teeth pulled.

Ms. Weyker’s injuries were too severe for officers to issue a field sobriety test and even get a breath sample. However, Weyker was arrested anyway on five charges including, “drunk driving causing injury.” Tests would later prove Weyker’s innocence finding no trace of alcohol or drugs in her system.

So why was she arrested? Todd Korb, Weyker’s lawyer, told WITI that the arrest was surprising because the authorities had virtually no evidence she was drunk. Korb said, “I can’t say it is necessarily a cover up, but it is suspicious.” Andrew Mishlove, a drunk driving defense expert, told the station that the only cause to arrest Weyker would have been if Deputy Quiles pointed the finger at her. “I think he was trying to protect himself and his department, to be honest,” said Weyker.

In Deputy Quiles’ original report, he claimed that he came to a full stop at the stop sign and never saw Weyker’s headlights (Weyker’s car’s headlights were automatic). However, airport surveillance footage surfaced two days after the crash and refuted Quiles’ first account, showing him rolling through the stop sign. Even though this evidence showed Quiles was at fault, Weyker was still sent threatening letters by the county saying legal action would be taken if she didn’t pay for the damages.

Ten months after the accident, after a Sheriff’s Office internal investigation, Quiles admitted that his first statements were wrong and that he was at fault for the accident. Quiles was suspended for nine days for the accident, but never punished for his false report, despite, WITI notes, “a previous history of discipline for filing reports written by someone else.”

Even though Quiles has admitted fault and the district attorney has decided to not file charges against Weyker, she is still waiting for the county to pay her mounting medical bills, which her attorney says could top one million dollars. Ms. Weyker has filed a complaint against the arresting deputy and may file a civil rights lawsuit against the county.

The Courts are as corrupt as the Sheriff as the County Executive and as the Mayor.

And at least they are not as bad as the New York Cops - YET.

In a troubling series of events, the last week of April saw drunken New York City police officers shoot at people on three separate occasions.

The current trend began on Thursday, April 24, when two NYPD detectives who were supposed to be out investigating a robbery decided to take a detour at a local bar. The New York Daily News reported that each officer drank 11 beers before 57-year-old Jay Poggi – who’d reportedly also had a couple of shots – ended up shooting his partner Matthew Sullivan in the wrist.

Poggi ended up driving Sullivan to the hospital, where he ultimately underwent two surgeries. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are unclear – Poggi claimed his gun was set off by accident when he was showing it off to Sullivan, but investigators told the Daily News they "believe the shooting happened outside the car — possibly with the detectives firing the gun in the air."

Poggi was charged with driving while intoxicated.

This past Tuesday, meanwhile, an off-duty police officer baffled investigators when he reportedly discharged his gun 13 times in the direction of a car that was stopped next to him at a traffic light. At this point, 27-year-old officer Brendan Cronin was heading home after a trip to the bar when he began firing at the car, hitting the man in the other car six times – in his arm, hand, and torso – before driving off.

Eventually, he was flagged down by police, but allegedly pointed his gun at the responding officer before turning himself over. Cronin was arrested and charged with assault, but was apparently so drunk he could not even remember firing his weapon. Currently, police have no reason as to why Cronin acted the way he did.

Just a few hours after this incident, a female NYPD officer was involved in a drunk shooting incident in New Jersey. There are conflicting reports about what exactly occurred, but both the New York Post and Daily News stated that officer Wanda Anthony discharged her weapon during a domestic altercation.

The Post reported that Anthony fired her gun into the car of another woman, while the Daily News stated she fired “at least one round at a former boyfriend” and his new girlfriend.

Anthony fled the scene but was eventually arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. Further charges may be levied as the investigation unfolds.

This case is very troubling for so many reasons, the officer lied and continued the lie, exculpatory evidence was withheld, the county's wrongful pursuit of the victim, John Chisholm's office refusal to bring felony charges against the officer.....this goes on and on. We need to remove the POS's from government.
