WAUWATOSA, Wisc. — The Wauwatosa Peace Officers Association (WPOA) continues to recover from seemingly never-ending insults and distractions from Mayor Dennis McBride. A few weeks ago, Mayor McBride said that the WPOA, the local police union "was a problem" and that one of its members was “drinking

Wauwatosa, Wisc. — The Wauwatosa Peace Officers Association (WPOA) is demanding an apology from Wauwatosa Mayor Dennis McBride. On behalf of the WPOA, board member John Milotzky wrote a letter demanding an explanation and an apology from Mayor McBride for insulting a police officer during a radio interview on WTMJ on May 16.
While Mayor McBride claimed that he and the city council support the police, he clearly stated in the radio interview that “the police union is a problem”—and that an (Asian-American) police officer “was listening too much to the police union and drinking too much of their Kool Aid.”
