Governor Evers is blaming the murder of a Milwaukee police officer on guns, while Republicans at the Wisconsin Capitol are blaming Milwaukee’s approach to crime.
The governor and lawmakers both weighed-in on the murder of a Milwaukee police officer yesterday. The governor sent his thoughts and prayers, and said the killing is ‘another tragic loss due to gun violence.’ Racine state Senator Van Wanggaard said the officer’s murder is part of Milwaukee’s failed approach to holding criminals accountable.
Thirty seven-year-old Peter Jerving was the first Milwaukee police officer to be killed in the line of duty since 2019.
