[/h][h=6] TODAY'S GOOD NEWS: Traffic stop nets armed, dangerous felon. On Tuesday at 3:54 p.m., Police Officers Joe Baltutis, Joe Zawikowski were on patrol conducting burglary suppression in the neighborhood of N. 55th and W. Vienna Av. The officers saw a suspicious vehicle in the area and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle entered an alley and the front passenger jumped from the moving SUV, falling to the ground and then ran away. The officers immediately put out a description of the suspect and other squads responded to set up containment. Officer Zawikowski began checking the yards and found the suspect hiding in some bushes where he was taken into custody. The suspect had marijuana on him. Officers Zawikowski and Baltutis returned to the alley where the suspect had jumped from the SUV and found in the snow a loaded handgun.
After an extensive record check, the officers found the suspect was using another name and has an extensive felony record including convictions for recklessly endangering safety, possession of a dangerous weapon, and he has an open warrant for burglary.
Outstanding work by Officers Zawikowski and Baltutis are commended for their initiative and keen observation skills in taking into custody an armed and dangerous felon.

G00gle Alert [gun OR firearm OR guns OR firearms OR concealed AND -deer AND -buck ...

I have had this G00gle Alert since 19 April 2009 and so have gotten used to the rate and type of gun related articles from my specified location: Wisconsin. Recently the Wisconsin media has been printing every gun related article they can fine in any state. Yesterday and today's G00gle Alert had about a dozen articles clipped, but only one or two from Wisconsin.

Wauwatosa crime

http://wauwatosa.patch.com/articles...heir-cool-at-leff-s-teddy-bear-taken-for-love

A family affair turned ugly at a Wauwatosa night spot, proving that those who drink to excess together, sometimes pose for mug shots together.
At 12:48 a.m. last Saturday, a 31-year-old Milwaukee man and his two sisters, one 36 and from Wauwatosa, the other 30 and living in Milwaukee, were arrested for disorderly conduct after they started a fight with other patrons inside Leff’s Lucky Town, 7208 W. State St., that spilled outside.
Police found the man shirtless and so intoxicated he nearly passed out in the back of a squad car and was unable to answer questions.
His sisters were also staggering, swaying and unable to form rational sentences – except for brief, screamed, profanity-laden clauses in the imperative mood that were sometimes grammatically correct but perhaps anatomically unpalatable, regarding what the police could do with, presumably, themselves or others.
Witnesses said that the three had arrived only minutes before the fracas began and were not overserved by Leff's staff.

Hmm, I seem to remember Leff's is posted (on the inside). Imagine how fast that fight would have stopped had the people be armed?!
