01-18-2020 — Mother Nature assisted in the apprehension of a teen, who is well known to the MPD, Saturday afternoon.
Officers had been sent to Birch Hill Dr. after a community member noticed a SUV with its rear windows open. It had been that way all night. The witness knows the area to be one where car thieves have dumped vehicles in the past, and saw the situation – in the middle of a Wisconsin winter – as potentially suspicious.
As officers arrived, they saw a 15-year-old near a stolen Honda Pilot. The teen has been arrested multiple times in the past for offenses like operating a motor vehicle without owner’s consent, entry into locked vehicle, burglary, and battery. At the moment, the suspect was asking a homeowner, who was out clearing snow from his driveway, if he (the teen) could borrow a scraper to clear the windows of the Pilot.
Officers sneaked up on the teen. He tried to run, but did not go far. He was taken to the Juvenile Reception Center.
Officers receive information on a daily basis from the M-P-D’s Criminal Intelligence Section regarding vehicles that are currently stolen that officers should attempt to locate. Currently there are 17 vehicles on what is known as the “Hot Sheet.”
The MPD works hard to find and return vehicles to their owners; however, per MPD policy, officers very infrequently engage in a pursuits out of concern for community safety.
01-19-2020 — Recovered Stolen Vehicle – 4:43 p.m. Officers observed five juveniles flee from a vehicle. Area canvassed and one juvenile was detained. The vehicle was left unoccupied and discovered to be reported as stolen. Vehicle recovered. Investigation continuing.
Three other vehicles stolen over the weekend.
I wouldn’t attend a church that had one of those “no guns allowed on premises” signs. Everyone inside is a sitting duck.

We are the security. Our Church has cameras and we also have radios. Always street clothes officer plus concealed carry. I would have stopped him before he got in to the worship area. This article suggests he had been seen in the Church before, we would have talked to him when he came in to welcome him. He never would have got in to the worship area through our large lobby. Sad situation when WI dismisses this. Church leadership make the decision and we have been armed for almost 2 years,

Those No Firearms signs should be banned unless enforced by airport-level screening.

A highly trained and qualified guy like that with a concealed firearm, I don’t mind. All you other untrained yahoo wannabe Rambos? Not so much. Texas has stringent requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit. Wisconsin… uh, basically none. Dumb.

Why The Second Amendment Has Become So Controversial
By Dr. Michael Hurd
The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution reads:
“A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Advocates of gun control and gun bans argue that the Second Amendment only applies to the “militia,” which they interpret as the military and police.
In other words, according to such an argument, the Second Amendment does not protect the right of an individual to own a weapon; only the right of the government to possess weapons. This is like saying, “You have a right to defend yourself if it’s the police or the army defending you; but not on your own.”
