Milwaukee Police Association

Today is day 978 that the Milwaukee Police Department has been working without a contract. I was honored to stand with the men and women who stand between us and danger on a regular basis. They deserve every penny they're asking for. #BackTheBadge

Today is day 947 of Milwaukee not giving their police officers a contract.

@620wtmj @MilwaukeePolice @JohnMercure @tellyhughes Correction- “Stop trying to kill my officers”

The Milwaukee Police Association is aware of criminal charges issued today against a Milwaukee police officer for Endangering Safety by Use of a Dangerous Weapon and Violent Crime in a School Zone. The Officer, Vashaun Young, is currently on full suspension and we understand an internal investigation is ongoing. As with any individual, Young is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. We understand the seriousness of the charges and we strongly condemn the reckless act as alleged in the complaint. We also recognize the importance of the legal process in ensuring justice is served. As such, MPA will respect the ongoing investigation by not sharing any further statement at this time.

Last night I attended the @MPA_Milwaukee’s golf outing. I’m honored to receive their Legislator of the Year Award. It’s been a pleasure working with MPA this year to ensure they, and our law enforcement officers across the state, have the support and resources they need!
