Michael Lutz, the Wisconsin whistleblower and former prosecutor who alleged that the union-operative wife of John Doe prosecutor John Chislhom was behind the targeting of conservative activists that recently was thrown out by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.... Is dead in what police are terming an apparent suicide....
Lutz, 44, a former Milwaukee police officer, suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound while in the presence of Menomonee Falls tactical officers after a brief tactical situation, the medical examiners office said in a release issued Sunday.
Lutz was pronounced dead in the 12300 block of W. Mill Road in Milwaukee at 4:05 a.m., the release said. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.

conservativejoy is a troll.
Clearly the Chisholm guy and his wife were doing something behind the scenes to destroy this man who exposed them. They probably had some humiliating dirt on him. And affair, something sexual, etc.
Whatever they had on him looks like more than he could take.
Walkers Act 10 has made it likely that Wisconsins health will continue in the long term, and it has already reaped massive long-term savings. The act does many things, including increasing the required annual contributions of public employees (including Milwaukee public employees) to up to 50 percent of their pensions, or roughly 5.8 percent of salaries. It requires employee contributions of at least 12.6 percent of health-care costs. It prohibits public unions from engaging in collective bargaining on anything except wages, which are capped by cost-of-living calculations. (The act does, however, include a collective-bargaining exemption for police and firefighters because of the public-safety role that they play.)
Perhaps most important, public unions are now prohibited from automatically deducting union dues from employee paychecks, and they must annually recertify their union status by collecting the votes of at least half their membership base. To the labor circle, that is the existential threat that makes Scott Walker Public Enemy No. 1.
While Walkers signature legislative achievement has rankled the unions, the oft-forgotten carve-out for firefighters and police officers has become somewhat of a blueprint for other Republican governors across the country. It also gives Walker a retort to the charge that he is against middle-class workers. In Milwaukee particularly, where Walker was the Milwaukee County executive before he ran for governor, he enjoys widespread support among union members, especially police and firefighters.
Republican governors from other states have taken note. First-term Illinois Republican governor Bruce Rauner, for instance, just proposed $2 billion in public-pension cuts but excluded firefighters and police officers. Those who put their lives on the line in service to our state deserve to be treated differently, he said. Michigan governor Rick Snyder included a carve-out for police and firefighters in a right-to-work bill last year.
That approach preserves the natural alliance that Republicans have with law-enforcement employees and firefighters, who often lean more to the right than their union leadership. Combined with aggressively tackling the stranglehold that public unions have long had over their members collective voices and the public coffers, the Walker formula seems increasingly to be a winning one. It could eventually take him to the White House.
NJCT ping?
>>>> while in the presence of Menomonee Falls tactical officers after a brief tactical situation,
What does that even mean? Translation, please.
I typed Gestapo. Apparently my kindle is evil.
Who called the cops? Who waits until 3 AM to commit suicide? The only thing that makes sense is that they set this guy up and since most people are sleeping 3-4 AM, it's a perfect time for "Vince Foster Time"!

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
“Shooter”, thought the same thing.
“suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound while in the presence of Menomonee Falls tactical officers after a brief tactical situation,”
Yeah.. riiight.
In front of witnesses? "...suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound while in the presence of Menomonee Falls tactical officers after a brief tactical situation,..."
When it comes to Chisholm and Wisconsin fascist STASI tactics, I don’t buy this report for a second.
Dude was ‘suicided’.
Exactly. It is now, officially, a hot war.
Thanks for posting the 14 reasons. This statement sums up Walker. If this statement is not a “both sides of the fence” wishy washy statement, nothing is.
I support limited government, he added. But I want the government left to work.
Come on. You cannot have both unless you break it down for us. This sound bite only tells me you are not ready to really stand up and fight for us.
Buh bye Walker.
Thanks for your comments and your insightful objectivity. Hope more folks will see the light.
You’d think the governor of the state might care about this.
