People need to listen to Andrew Wilkow. He is giving a fresh perspective on this - that local governments have ABANDONED their leadership and surrendered it to the Feds. And that key players in the BLM movement are now parlaying that into leadership positions in the Left (see Van Jones on CNN, DeRay McKesson running for Baltimore Mayor, etc).
I was disappointed that Clarke called Walker to call in the Guard. Notice that nowhere, nobody is pointing the finger at Barrett or the Democrat city council. The Milwaukee Police Dept ANSWERS to the Mayor and the city councilmen - not to the Governor, the Sheriff, or to the Feds.
Somehow the Public Parks in the City of Milwaukee are owned and run by the County of the same name. It would seem that the Sheriff has direct jurisdiction over some of Milwaukee City.
Also, unlike Baltimore, Md. where the City is its own County on the State Level, Milwaukee County includes the City of Milwaukee as is the case for most Cities in the US.
