I remember that the MPD Chief, Harold Brier, was notorious. And God help you if you were black or Hispanic.

Milwaukee was one of America's most segregated cities back in the day.

We helped a parish on the south side. I recall the Monsignor telling us his funerals were in English and his baptisms were in Spanish.

That was the beginning of the era when Milwaukee's industrial base was decimated.

The police did that usually the first week of the school year to set a tone.  They called it a nuisance or quality of life enforcement to give drivers access.

With the improvements to WI Avenue and the barriers along the median jaywalking is no longer an option. Lord knows I did it plenty of times in my day.

New Haven is 1 small and 2 very partitioned. So even in that period the violence was hyper localized.  IMO it would have been more likely for an MU student to see crime than the Yale student.  On top of that, Yale is right downtown so that comment includes the business/center of the city.  So while New Haven received that moniker, it was really 2-3 neighborhoods where the improvement was needed.  So mayor/chief of police changed and it improved.  The former new haven chief of police is an amazing guy who embodies cura personalis. 

Edit: here is a link to an npr interview with him.  Starts as news of a situation, then becomes about his life.

New Haven is 1 small - New Haven is only 20 square miles.  Most of the cities on the FBI list it's compared to are 200 to 300 square miles and it's not really a fair comparison.

Snow covered streets in Milwaukee had the Men of McCormick 8 skitching on the backs of city buses on WI Avenue. Bellies full of beer and a fool's courage but it was great fun.

The best was to come down the hill from 18th towards the lake. You could slide for at least a block.

Call it what you will but Mike Wolfe was cited for jaywalking WI Ave. $5 fine.

Wolfie went on to become an attorney. I can only hope his run-in with the law set him on the path of true justice which resulted in his becoming an officer of the court.

Jim,

Got it.

Wolfie is a great guy. Haven't talked to him in years. Tell him he never returned Neil Young Decade.
