RCC  STANDS CORRECTED

Art Howell

Chief of Police

City of Racine

Unknown to RCC at the time we sent an open letter

 to Police Chief Art Howell, we belittled the Chief for his silence after being accused of harboring white supremacist  murderers 

within his department.

We were promptly informed that our take of the silence was wrong and we want to make it right. 

Truth be known, Chief Howell had been very active using diplomatic channels to prop his officers and address the outrageous and unsubstantiated attack by Police and Fire commission board member and REU president Angelina Cruz.

Chief Howell wisely used diplomatic channels rather than the press to address Ms. Cruz's unsubstantiated statements. 

Being there was no public dialogue by the chief concerning Cruz's statements, we assumed that Cruz had gotten a free pass to say whatever she wants to say about law enforcement. 

We are pleased to say Cruz is currently under heavy scrutiny by the public and numerous members and supporters of law enforcement.

Sorry Chief for getting it wrong.

RUSD 

SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE

In a recent REU statement, City of Racine Police and Fire Commission board appointee Angelina Cruz illuminated the already known RUSD school to prison pipeline, insinuating it is the police's fault

Angelina Cruz was appointed to the Police and Fire Commission by Mayor Mason in 2019 as an apparent diversity appointee. 

Other than a mouthpiece for Cory Mason, she lacks any relevant experiences or qualifications to act on the 
police and fire commission board.

In a recent statement by Ms. Cruz, she used her position as president of REU to ambush and indirectly accuse City of Racine police Chief Art Howell of harboring white supremacist murderers within his department.

She further used the REU platform to attack other police agencies as well whom diligently serve the Racine Unified School District.  These attacks are counter intuitive and counterproductive in her position as a Police and Fire Commission board member. 

Acting as a Masonette mouthpiece, you now know that she is part of the greater movement within City Hall to remove Howell from office and forward the anti-police movement.

We find Angelina Cruz's statements to be vile, misinformed and misdirected as a Police and Fire commission board member.

 Angelina Cruz is unfit for public service and should be removed from the Racine Police and Fire Commission.
