On Friday we had our first murder in La Crosse in almost 2
years. With all the crazy stuff going on
nationally all the anti-cop rhetoric and the whole you shouldn’t talk to the
police sentiment that is being preached to youngsters. There is a fear that is setting in, a kind of
challenging fear, one that is almost a fight or flight mentality. I have heard some say that we as a community are
close to a breaking point, some say that the police have no idea what they are
doing and others like myself that applaud the local police department for what
they are doing. I had the chance over
the weekend to talk to a few people who live in the neighborhood where the shootings
have taken place, in fact one of the women I spoke with owned a home right next
to the apartment where Randall was finally captured. And she said her neighborhood has been
slipping into the toilet for years. Are
you ready to fight for our community or roll over and play possum?
