And like any mid size to big city you have your share of crime. But you know where to go and not to go. The laws and the policies the brought off politicians pass is all setup against u. The institutions is no better! And that's the main problem with Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha and all the other cities with a high number of black and brown people.
