UPDATE: Three 14-year-old boys have been arrested after stealing a car and leading multiple departments on a chase Thursday morning (07-11-19).
At 2:30 in the morning, a Fitchburg police officer saw a stolen car in the area of the Verona Road Frontage and Atticus Way. The officer tried to stop the car, but it drove away. Then, a Town of Madison officer spotted the vehicle and was able to successfully put out a tire deflation device, but the car kept going.
A Wisconsin State Trooper then saw the car on the Beltline, just as one of the front tires came off the rim. The car finally came to a stop on the highway near Park Street, but then all three teens got out and starting running.
Officers were able to catch the driver and one of the passengers after a chase, and the final passenger was tracked down by a Dane County Sheriff’s Office K9. All three of the 14-year-old boys were taken to Juvie. NBC TV-15 has the story.
Today’s blog is given over to the first seven incidents Madison Police Chief Mike Koval reports in his police blotter today (07-11-19) . Do subscribe to his daily report.

Madison crime 2020
I’m assuming that at some point in the near future, the MPD will be instructed to remove any designations of race from their reports of suspect descriptions.

Of course. Out of sight, out of mind–that’s the Madison way. Not long ago, the WI State Journal used to regularly run a list (with photos) of criminals on the loose. Not surprisingly, the vast majority were black and Hispanic. After squeals by outraged liberals, they stopped printing it. Problem solved.

Petty, and more serious, crime always increases in Madison during the summer months. How about some context here. Is this more than in past years? Out of 535 calls, why did you pick these to highlight? Are they representative? The most serious? Is this just a “you need to be very afraid of AM’s – cuz liberals!” post?
#1 – they left keys in the cars? Who does that? The same geniuses who leave their cars idling and unlocked when they go into stores? It’s hard to get too worked up for them, pardon my cynicism.

All crime is ok? Not at all Dorn, and I said nothing to imply that. Where ARE the WM & WF in these reports? Are there none? Did Dave ignore them? If so, why? What do you guys have against context, against seeing the whole picture? My questions to Dave were serious.

One big reason some people have no respect for law enforcement is because of the corruption we see and hear about every day. Acosta let that pig Epstein go when he should have been locked up in hell. But; then a black dies because he was selling loose cig’s on the sidewalk. You can’t keep track of all the politicians that are up on charges . Not one person from Wells Fargo served a day for ripping off billions, but shop-lift a loaf of bread because your hungry and homeless ? The RWNJ’s want you to serve 5 years. Why is that traitor Flynn still walking around free while drumpf and company are telling me each day to be a good American?

Yeah @AnonyBob, that’s it.

When you’re done mainlining Rachel Maddcow (does ANYONE watch her anymore?) take a look at the…um…complexion of the MAJORITY of both shooters and shooting victims in the 77 Square Miles Surrounded By A Sea Of Reality, then report back.
