On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Milwaukee. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. At least you took that POS with you so he’s not taking up space in a prison where he should have been after been found guilty of those previous crimes that he had committed.
