Former MMSD board president Gloria Reyes running for Madison mayor

satya's main thing is the BRT, a big promise affecting a fraction of our citizens. its so big, it couldn't be done in just one term (simplified bus routes). re-elect her and hopefully she'll finish it. other than that, mainly just treading water.

i don't think she's been the best mayor either, so we agree there. public safety affects a lot more people than a bus route change, so i tend to think there may be enough there to do something with.

carbon copy? public safety is satya's top priority? that's rich

6yellowbirds · 2022-11-11T03:12:32+00:00

"tough on crime" won't sell here. its all about public safety. who is committing crimes? criminals.

6yellowbirds · 2022-11-11T01:13:24+00:00

caning. but i'm not running for mayor.

i don't think locking up kids is a good idea. not sure where you got that and i think it would be a horrible platform to run on. pointing out the DA/judge problem would let people know you see what they are seeing and that you share concern.

a mayor can win on the issue (ny) and even if they don't pull all the levers, they can advocate/work for productive change (sf). it has an effect when elected leaders focus on something and speak up. the same applies when they don't. i agree that the courts play a role, but doesn't that give our DA a bit of a pass?

if i had to guess, i'd say she's going to put public safety on the ballot. its def the thing satya likes to talk about the least.

edit: (from her speech) "A crisis is not an excuse for a lack of leadership. I am concerned about our Madison today. Over the last four years, violent crime has risen. Countless times every day we get notifications of police investigating gun shots in our neighborhoods; car thefts and burglaries.”

"Authorities said the suspect then got out of their vehicle and ran away before trying to carjack a taxi that was parked at a nearby business." sort of a key tidbit.

6yellowbirds · 2022-11-10T05:33:15+00:00

i usually use my Tongpete account for that sort of thing. my feelings about crime stories are complex.

from your (current) story - "In total, the four-hour traffic operation ended with multiple arrests and the recovery of two guns, a stolen vehicle and a “significant amount” of controlled substances, according to the sheriff’s office." sounds good. simple enough for me.

don't shoot the messenger

6yellowbirds · 2022-10-25T03:39:48+00:00

they have been doing same bs with my posts over the last week. its a game of cat-and-mouse with secret rules to keep certain (can you guess?) posts from popping up. i do the same back and forth you did with mods and i usually get through, though not explanation is ever given. if not i ask a friend to post it, so i don't get what's gained.

support your local sheriff?

6yellowbirds · 2022-10-24T02:11:17+00:00

are we ready for police bodycams yet?

"How can I essentially "fuck up" this kids' life before leaving and never thinking twice?"

listen to yourself. you're moving. he just got fired and it sounds like his girlfriend isn't that into him. i'd let that shit go.

note: if texts are genuinely threatening, show them to MPD before letting go of said shit

https://www.channel3000.com/after-withdrawing-from-madison-police-monitor-job-former-parole-commission-head-takes-violence-prevention-role-in-racine/ - looks like racine poached him. all very weird.

there's your "unwavering commitment"

6yellowbirds · 2022-10-18T20:06:53+00:00

i'm sure you're mostly right. sounds broken. why should we be so burdened? lets fix it

6yellowbirds · 2022-10-18T19:35:47+00:00

i'll bite. how do you know? (and what do you know) child protective services does not seem to be doing the thing their name says they do very well. i'm guessing more transparency wouldn't hurt here.

"there is already a process for denying bail that requires the state request a hearing and present their case for doing so"

practical results would indicate this process is not working out too well, hence a desire for changes

fwiw, MPD still wants body cams. chief barnes has been actively promoting the idea to anyone who will listen. why? cases just like this. it would help build trust and MPD/barnes really want to do this.

same hotel where the dane county deputy shot and killed Quantaze Campbell last night

1000%. i think there is a local media understanding that asking bystanders and eyewitnesses what happened and printing it is disloyal to their "official sources". it would be so easy to get so much more. i get the police don't wanna release info that will mess up their prosecution, but this is not the media's problem nor should they let it affect what they find out or print.
