Milwaukee

I thought the article I found was very interesting. It was about how officers in Milwaukee would be wearing cameras on the uniform. This article got me thinking because I thought it was interesting to think about all the new possibilities that officers would have when they equipped with these cameras. On top of having these cameras, police…

I am currently a sophomore at Marquette University double majoring in psychology and criminology & law studies. These two fields of study are both something I have always had a strong interest for. I started my freshmen year of college at Marian University double majoring in psychology and forensic science with a minor in chemistry, but I decided that criminology was more in my interest than was forensic science, which is why I ended up here at Marquette and I could not be happier with my…

A great example of this push towards collaboration is the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer District (MMSD). MMSD has received grant money to build “Green Infrastructure,” meaning building higher capacity storm water systems and rain capturing methods. MMSD has been working with “private and public partners to invest to a goal of building 740 million gallons' worth of green infrastructure storage capacity by 2035 in Milwaukee” (Behm MJS). Green infrastructure can be absorbing rain from porous…

Last year, the NL Central was probably deepest division in the National League as three prominent teams battled for the division crown. The St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs all had a chance to win the division down the stretch. However, after the Cardinals won the division by two games (100-62), the Pirates (98-64) and Cubs (97-65) secured both spots in the National League Wild Card Game, where the two division foes met for a chance to face St. Louis in the NLDS.

I was unable to attend the Boxes and Walls event so I decided to do a lengthy interview with roommate Dequone Jackson. We are from two different co-cultural groups because he is a Black male and I am a White male. Both of us came from very different backgrounds and somehow still managed to end up at the same university, with similar interests. In my interview with Dequone I asked him some pretty hard questions and he was very willing to answer them to the best of his ability. Before the…

Mr. Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer was conceived on May 21, 1960 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (wikipedia.org). After eight years, his family moved to Shower, Ohio. He was an exceptionally bashful young man who frequently gathered dead creatures and hinted at necrophilia at an early age. Nobody could have anticipated that Jeffrey Dahmer would confer 17 killings amid his lifetime which, in trial, were demonstrated to have been driven by necrophilia and his own homosexuality. A large portion of Mr. Dahmer's…

According to a 2016 database from The Washington Post, 875 individuals have been killed by the police in the United States. This database gathered that number from news reports, public records, social media and other sources (“Police Shooting 2016 database,” 2016). While this number is not by any means enormous, deaths at the hands of police officers were higher during the first six months of this year than compared to 2015 (Kindy, Lower, Rich, Tate, & Jenkins, 2016). Additionally, Kindy, Lower,…

According to JL Guest, a conservative writer from the Western Journalism news company, we are a nation of laws where everyone is treated fairly and equally. Guest states that with a nation of laws, there is a greater balance of human nature, avoidance of government atrocities, and no corrupt officials that could use the imbalance of laws as a weapon to take over people’s basic rights and liberties. On the other hand, Skwirk, an online interactive learning portal, strongly puts in confidence that…

When you are first born, your mother and father are there with you. Your family is there from when you are born and remain with you for the rest of your life. Family is the most important thing on this earth. Without a family, you can become lost or isolated, so why not set aside everything else going on in your life to make time for your family? Just like Dane Jensen, we must realize that family stands as an important factor of our lives that must not be taken for granted. The movie, A Family…

Outside the system of the National Archives, there are other depositories of letters from POW/MIA families. One shortcut to collect such correspondence is the Laurence Jolidon papers in the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. It contains the copies of the primary sources (including over a hundred letters) he used to write Last Seen Alive (1995). Other possibilities include the personal papers of Defense Secretaries and State Secretaries. According to my talk…
