MILWAUKEE COUNTY, Wisc. — David Willoughby, a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s deputy and former U.S. Marine, was suspended after he sent an email to local politicians simply asking whether they supported an anti-law enforcement tweet by Democratic Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. His wife says local politicians are “bullying” Willoughby because several Democratic elected officials complained directly to the sheriff.
