In 37% White Milwaukee, Minorities Are 96% Of Known Homicide Suspects/95% Of Known Shooting Suspects Milwaukee should be a great city.
It should be a world-class city.
But it’s not.
The reasons for this dilemma are quite obvious, though you can’t say them publicly in 2023 America if you wish to be able to make public appearances without armed guards.
Milwaukee is 37 percent white and 40 percent black.
And the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission helps us understand why the city isn’t a great city. The authors of the review analyze every shooting and homicide to determine why it happened (completely dispelling the idea “gang violence” is to blame for the bloodshed), and they break each one down by race of victim and race of suspect as well.
It’s not even a good city, and here’s why:
96.4 percent of known homicide suspects in 2022 were people of color (88.49 percent being black)
95.22 percent of known nonfatal shooting suspects in 2022 were people of color (92.68 percent being black)
