Police department. This is significant. This has been a recent issue. Theyre actually investigating officers to see if theyre issuing fewer tickets out of protests connected to all of what weve been discussing. If this were happening in Milwaukee County how would you handle that as a sheriff. For heaven sakes, these officers just laid their colleagues to rest. Its been about two weeks since these two officers were slain. Give them a break for heaven sakes. Theyre still grieving. I was out there with them on saturday. Theyre still suffering, trying to come to grips with this. For people to think they should just shrug their shoulders and say, oh well time to go back to work is totally insensitive. More pride than that. Give them a break to go through the grieving process and then you know well take a look.

What a collection
Killers and gang members can come into our country, if we dont change it, well have a shut down. Well do a shut down and its worth it for our country. I would love to see a shut down if we dont get this taken care of. Garrett hake from capitol hill. Last i know there was not a big chance. If there was no continuing resolution, there seemed to be a sense of getting something done, but there was an absence of something firm on immigration, and the president says what he just said. Tell us what it means. It has no basis in the legislative reality of whats going on on capitol hill right now. The discussion on capitol hill is based on the idea that the government will stay open this week. Senate leadership is very close, im told, to a big picture deal on budget caps. No one i have talked to in the last two days up here said anything suggesting there is any likelihood of a shut down particularly over the immigration issue.

What are you expecting to see inside the service today, and what have you seen on the ground there . Reporter hi, chris.
