How was your weekend?

I had a great weekend.

But catching up with friends was key whether on the phone or in person.

That was a major part of my weekend.

I totally had

a

wonderful

weekend.

That part.

And you know, I started out on Friday.

DJing crystals, 50th birthday party.

Nice.

And it was at the hillside resource center.

And again, all of her co-workers and family and friends came out.

She had

an amazing time.

Wow.

So that was all good.

Did that.

Then had to be up

and

down at the summer fest grounds for Black Arts Fest MKE at 8 AM.

Right.

You know what?

I'm gonna be honest with

you.

At 8 AM.

Me, Sierra, and Meach, we had talked about it.

It was raining and I still got up.

And I told

them.

Good morning Xavier.

Hope you had a great weekend as well.

You probably went to that rally.

But anyway.

I shouldn't poke the bear.

I

shouldn't

poke

the bear.

Yeah, don't poke the bear.

I ain't gonna poke the bear.

I ain't gonna poke the bear.

You're on for that, Homer.

I know, I know, I know.

You're a bear poker.

I repent it.

Are you doing under me?

That's the looking game.

So we're gonna

play this so you'll be familiar with this local business initiative, community initiative, at the former Butts Blair Larry Sanders did.

What is it doing?

We play it

now.

Today, familiar face back in Milwaukee.

It's former Bucks forward Larry Sanders, who stepped away from the NBA more than a decade ago.

Now he's back in Milwaukee with a new mission.

Sanders says his return is focused on community outreach as well as mental health advocacy.

After spending his first five NBA seasons with the Bucks, he left the league in 2015.

setting struggles with his mental health.

And since then, Sanders has become an advocate for mental health awareness.

He says he wants to bring that message back to his city.

He still calls home.

I feel a lot of support here when I play when I left and wanted to, you know, give the things that I've gathered and returning back to the city, you know, show my appreciation for the support they've given me.

Sanders first initiative was a community collaboration event with broke life clothing in downtown Milwaukee today.

The event just wrapped up at the top of the hour, but Sanders says his return is not just for this weekend.

He hopes it marks the beginning of a long term commitment to communities across the Milwaukee area.

You know, that's something very, very important because you know

a

lot of people that are dealing with it and when.

Someone you know comes out and publicly says it.

Yeah,

it's like

a

lot of other things that I think people need to be more Vocal about that they may be going through right because you know on the outside for a lot of other people it looks like everything is great Mask it very well.

Yeah, they

mass their their stress levels.

They mass

their depression right they mass their mental health and a lot of people

probably could have got some kind of help.

Yeah.

If they wouldn't have kept the mask on until it went to, you know, the point of no return.

Right.

And they decided to, you know, deal with it a way that they thought, well, this is what I need to do.

Right.

No, you didn't need to go that route.

Yeah.

And to actually go get the help that they need, there is help out here.

Right.

You know, we know that there are some struggles, but there are some people who care.

And there are some people who have created different organizations to help people and some people that may not be ensured to get the mental health services that they need from other places.

I know our county exec David Crowley.

He got he has a Milwaukee County mental health clinics like around the city around the city.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And

They you can do walk-ins.

You

know I'm

saying you can call in or you can come and do a walk-in.

Yeah, and The hours that they're open.

I mean they're they're designed to be kind of like open and you can go in try to See somebody to help you or you may be walking around undiagnosed, but you know you feel in some kind of way Yeah, and you're always feeling this way you always, you know

Yeah, I don't want to do nothing.

I don't.

Right.

Yes, I don't want to.

That's a

form of can be considered a form of depression.

Absolutely.

You know, absolutely.

And so it's important that we take care of

us.

I should say a sign of depression.

Yeah.

So yeah.

And so for him to.

Open up about his own issues right which we heard about if you are you know if you know Larry Sanders Yeah,

I thought it was great that he was coming back to to support the Milwaukee area

in

that because you don't find a lot of people doing that

especially

like a professional ball player

Absolutely, so for

him to come back and and and be supporting, you know a mental health situation That's that's a good person

Real

talk.

So, uh, salute to you, bro.

Yeah.

And everybody from Milwaukee and the community that will be able to be blessed by just

another person

showing that they care.

Right.

And they give a damn.

Right.

And they came back to do it.

Yeah, absolutely.

So he didn't have to.

He didn't have to.

He didn't have to.

He didn't have to.

He ain't leaking as they would

say money wise.

So for him to come black, you know,

yeah, that's a

whole situation.

Yeah.

Uh, another thing that, you know, I alluded to, we had talked about, uh, last week we're at a nine one one.

Oh

yeah.

To nine one one.

Well, I noticed something too.

I noticed the update you're about to talk about, but I also noticed.

You know, last week they were saying it took like three hours for them to get there, right?

So now they dialing it back and said, well, it was two hours and 30 minutes.

It

don't matter.

It's three hours.

It's two hours and 30 minutes.

It's like this woman got beat and all kinds of

other

things allegedly.

And y'all should be, they should have been there.

As soon as possible, you mean to tell me as soon as possible for this situation was two hours and 35 minutes or whatever.

Come on now.

Yeah, that was, yeah, that was, yeah, that was crazy.

Like, I don't know, I'd be, I'd be calling somebody like, look, yeah, I need to, yeah, I'm gonna retain somebody.

Yeah.

Because that

was

just unacceptable.

Ridiculous it should be unacceptable for anybody, but she's 99 99

99 So what was they

thinking you know her little life

alert that her life

alert don't

count like

that

don't mean nothing if she's 99 she needs one of those right You know you need to go by that you need to utilize that

and

that's what there's for right and she did that

Looks like she did it a few times.

Yeah They say something about the hand the thing on hold or something.

Oh

Listen, this

should be off with no checks

public enemy wrote a song about it

9-1-1 is a joke,

you know, and it's crazy.

That's the name of the song.

It's crazy and and you know

Bailey you would be surprised.

Well, maybe you wouldn't, but I was surprised because I know some 911 operators and shout out to all of the 911 operators

that are

doing

your job

and you take

it serious.

But Bailey, do you realize if we, I don't know, well, this anonymous person talked about this story here that we're going to talk about, but you'd be

Amazed with how many people called 9-1-1 were things they could have called the non-emergency

Yeah, yeah,

and really they could have called their own cousin or the son or daughter

People

people they call 9-1-1 cuz they can't find a remote.

Yeah, I know but

they remote

Yeah

And

just other things, you know,

stupid

stuff.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

I see it all the time.

When I tell you, I see it all the time.

Okay.

You see it all the

time.

Yeah.

So

and I know 911 worker, but I see it.

And then I guess the other thing.

So that should never happen, right?

Right.

That should never happen.

But then we got so many situations that are going on in our city that our emergencies, right?

When you think of all of the shots fired calls, right?

I used to do a roll call Just just talking about all of the 911 calls It's like and they have to go and respond to those calls.

Yes, they do so

Here when you have a sense of urgency and it's just like at a hospital.

Yeah, you go to the ER.

Yeah, they go triage you.

Yes And that's what happens when that more people call it.

They're supposed to find out.

Okay.

What level of

emergency is this?

Yes,

you know

and you can be sitting there and be like, yes, it's some blood showing but is it chest pains?

Is it right?

You know and and and they have to kind of go accordingly.

Exactly

It

happens the same when you go into like the emergency room

at the hospital, right?

They look and go, okay, let's see.

I got a prime example.

So my baby, this is, uh, Kendall was a baby and he ate some nuts that he wasn't supposed to eat.

He had

allergic.

He had an allergic reaction.

We go in there across from us.

It was St.

Joe's.

So we go, uh, we go in there in the emergency room, but across from us is a guy that's been shot in the hand.

Now I'm thinking they gon' take him first for real.

Yeah.

No, they didn't.

They came out and got candle.

And I was like, Oh, but he could go.

No, he can't go.

Your son's having an allergic reaction.

And he might not be able to breathe, you know, because his eyes.

He might not be able to breathe.

We know what's going on with him.

Come on.

So the shot person, he gonna be all right.

That's basically what they said.

We got to take.

We got to take.

We're gonna figure this out in his hand.

We're

gonna

play this clip and find out what this anonymous person had to say.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know.

But some, I don't know.

I ain't gonna even say it.

I ain't gonna say it.

I'll talk about it when we

come back.

I did.

You're listening to the award-winning 101.7 FM The Truth.

This is Truth in the Morning.

We gotta take care of these bills.

We'll be

black.

Truth in the Morning returns after this on 101.7 The Truth, the Truth app, and streaming live on 101.7 The Truth on YouTube.

You are listening to Truth in the Morning on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app, and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.

Welcome Black Troop Nation.

Truth in the morning.

When we went to break, we were talking about the 911.

And we'd like to hear from you.

Do you have a 911 story?

Like, you know,

like,

yeah, I called and they put me on hold.

Right.

And I didn't really believe that.

You know, I heard it in the song.

You don't understand all the different things that Flavor Flavie was right.

Right.

But there are people that actually get put on hold.

Yes.

I

didn't know.

I just

if you're if you're not calling with a legitimate emergency, then I think they will put you on hold, especially if they have other things that are coming in that they can see, you know, or legitimate emergencies, right?

Yeah.

If you somebody calling in and you messing around and you playing.

Okay, so do we have to put out a list of legitimate

emergency?

We got this clip so we'll bring you into the fold of what we're talking about about there was a Milwaukee 911 investigation as it's continuing an anonymous employee speaks out

And let's find out our producer Xavier if you can play that clip right now from Fox six

answer every call for help.

But when a 99 year old woman needed help recently and call takers could hear her being physically threatened, Milwaukee police officers didn't arrive until two and a half hours later.

This week, the city department of emergency communications will be investigating exactly what went wrong.

Tonight, Sam Kramer is hearing from employees who worked inside the department.

911, what is your emergency?

This is this National Emergency Center operator two zero three one four.

I currently have my caller on hold.

There's an ongoing domestic violence issue

within 12 seconds.

A third party answering service told a call taker at the city of Milwaukee's Department of Emergency Communications.

A woman was in danger.

Did they ever confirm that there was a physical fight or you're just hearing what you believe is a physical fight going on?

I can take them off hold and you can hear too.

No, I'm asking, did you ever speak to them?

Did they ever confirm?

No, no, no worse contact.

What was going on?

No, no worse contact.

Minutes later, a second call taker did hear it.

Still, police and fire did not respond until more than two and a half hours later, when the 99 year old victim picked up the phone

herself.

I need help.

Only then, when call takers at the department heard from the victim directly, did an employee elevate the call to require an immediate response.

That delay launched an internal investigation.

It's also caused frustration among current employees.

Why are you talking to us?

Let's start with that.

because I see an issue within the workplace.

We agreed to conceal this person's identity and voice because we're concerned about jeopardizing their job, but they felt strongly the public needs to know.

So I asked them how they would have handled this differently.

Looking at that and trying to put myself in that.

In that moment, I would have called my supervisor immediately.

I understand that, I know that we can only enter it as a certain call type.

I would have called my supervisor and said, hey, I need you to listen to this.

This is, I know that they're not seeing this, it's their party, but you've got to listen to this.

It seems like it might be bigger than what it is, and we need to get, it's been sitting, we need to get somebody out there.

I would have definitely pushed it through to my supervisor and said it needs to be looked at.

In the city of Milwaukee, 911 calls are answered by employees known as universal call takers or UCTs.

Think of them as triage.

It's their job to get the details.

Your location, a callback number, generally figure out what's going on before they pass that call to either a police dispatcher or a fire dispatcher so that they consent the appropriate response.

The employee we spoke with says they think call takers are too focused.

on moving the calls to dispatch, helping meet national standards for response times when they should be focused on the information.

I could tell by the text that's entered in these calls as they're being sent over that we're not asking the questions effectively in the right order.

We're just kind of, it's more of a conversation and they're not getting the meat of who we're going to, what's going on.

how long did this happen where did it happen you know we're not asking those questions we're just going to start getting the call in and a lot of times it leads to a strain on resources because we're entering calls incorrectly and having to send them this high priority when ucts could ask more questions to get the information

earlier this week i said yeah you know what unfortunately in my opinion bailey

Mm-hmm.

And for those of you who are watching on YouTube or Facebook live that employee is fired right now Go ahead ask me how how could they know

who it was

Do you know how they use camera that garage?

He should have been or she should have been in a dark space in a

dark room

That was ignorant.

That was an ignorant anonymous interview.

So you

say they knew they was black?

I don't know.

Whatever color they are, whatever they are, they is.

I'm just so frustrated.

That was the worst.

That was the worst anonymous.

Troop Nation, let me know.

Would y'all figure it out?

There ain't gonna be too many fences that look like that the garage across I was damn near looking for the address on the garbage can

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna figure it out.

You gonna figure it out.

I'm gonna figure it out Listen, I'm gonna put an all-call out to all the sanitation workers You go through that alley, you know, who's Yeah, and whoever that was the worst

I'm sorry, that was the worst anonymous.

I know we're talking about the other part of it.

But that was the worst.

That was the worst anonymous.

You sit near your garage.

You need to be like, like how they do.

Look at that

other garage.

Date line.

Yeah.

Dark room.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Like, dude, like close your garage door.

Put a black sheet up or something.

But you.

You're

fired

you're fired you'll be

you're probably fired

Nobody

else go

calling for the anonymous

black screen me some just I don't care

That's down the street for me.

It's over.

Hey, listen.

You're fired.

I'm sorry.

Uh,

uh,

you're listening to truth to the morning on the award winning one of seven of them the truth.

Uh, we got to take care of these bills.

He fired.

We're

so fired.

He'll be black.

Truth in the Morning returns after this on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.

Listen, listen, I'm just saying I don't think five six news or five six local Did they do diligence with that one?

I don't

you're not supposed to see anything

Because pinpoint who you are, where you are.

If you're being anonymous.

Somebody

been over that person's house.

Yeah.

And yeah,

it's a gas.

It's a garbage truck running through there or recycling truck running through there today.

I think that's I think they

have.

I

believe I think they were on the south side of Milwaukee.

I know.

Yeah.

Alley

was real clean.

Yeah.

not only that

okay but

even though

they didn't look dilapidated

even though they disguise the person's voice right there's a certain way that we all talk right everybody has their own distinct vernacular vernacular so I believe the person was from the island of okay I'm gonna leave it alone but

I get

it they were non-ethnic

Hmm.

Okay

in their tone.

All I know is whoever it is you

fight.

Yeah.

You played yourself.

You let them talk you into your garage and you sit in your garage and we looking at the garage.

We can

we can our rates and we've already halfway located you because you on the south

side.

Right.

That was a I don't know.

Am I the only one that picked that up?

Like, you know

what?

Yeah, that wouldn't, you know, that wouldn't.

Yeah, that wouldn't.

Loretta Taylor on their YouTube set and you knew dude wasn't black because they didn't show his picture right away.

Well,

talking about the one that did it, the maceous.

I read.

Oh, yeah, we talked about

that.

Yeah, we talked about that.

Yeah.

And that was.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that part, that part, that part.

And as it relates to the actual story, Lorraine Taylor said, I can hear her getting her butt kicked in the black ground.

Yeah.

What else do you need to hear?

Well, that is so true.

And then think about this.

You had the person from Life Alert or whatever her little pin thing

is that she

pushed.

Yep.

Calling themselves.

Right.

They were talking to her and.

The lady asked her what else do you need?

And you know, I mean, it's just to me, it's ridiculous.

If you get one of those people to call, then you need to go check and it needs to be a priority.

Right.

Because clearly they have that

around you to

get them.

That's right.

That's what they're having around their neck.

Go check it.

It's still outrageous to me.

It's outrageous.

It is.

It is.

It is.

Sir Chauncey said, oh, wow.

What a hideous and despicable act he committed then he had the audacity to enter inferred that it was the alcohol in conjunction But the fact that he was inebriated that caused him to just flip Will D9 said good morning, not sure if he said he heard what was going there If so, why didn't he call the supervisor?

Right like it was just too much

a lot.

Yeah, it was saying that he

would have elevated it to his supervisor, but I don't understand why would you hear something like that?

Or when you get a call like that, why it's just not automatically elevated for somebody to go out and check on

it.

It could only be a higher spirit that allowed her to actually even call exactly self.

Exactly.

Because

Bailey I have the criminal complaint on that and the extent of her injuries and the way that he Beat her.

Yeah, like see and

she yeah, I don't know Somebody that's 99 You know just something small

in that interaction.

Yeah, like they can

put have

could have taken

her right out.

They could fall and create internal bleeds.

Oh yeah, absolutely.

Break bones and all of that.

Oh yeah, sure.

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah.

Light threatening for

him kicking in the door.

Yeah.

Could have been, you know, I mean, just think about people are fragile anyway.

But you get to 99.

Yeah, I'm just not going to.

I'm not going to read that any.

I can't even read any excerpts.

From that criminal complaint in my opinion because the way he beat her was so brutal It was so brutal you'd be crying

you know what

feel the same way about the seven month old I

feel like the people

that baby.

Oh my gosh.

We don't have to talk about that too.

Yeah, I feel like those people should be Definitely not getting any pay while they're off right now and they should be

There should be some type of suspension.

It was along with some retraining if they want to come back.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That that's that's terrible.

Yeah, because you know, just passing that and I can say I don't say that nobody is important.

Everybody is but you know, this woman 99 and it was coming from life alert.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That part.

Like, yeah.

Yeah, why do you have these things, right?

You know, right?

JDC 72 on our YouTube said I had someone make a fake 911 call on me.

They came right away.

Crazy.

Yeah.

See, Laurent Taylor says so somebody told dispatchers that if they send a squad to a non-emergency 911 call that they are in trouble.

That's why they need supervisory approval.

Wow.

Hmm.

Yeah,

so it's a crap game.

Yeah,

yeah

crap shoot.

Mm-hmm.

So That is Again, I heard all of the things that would have let me know that it was the

emergency Mm-hmm But did you see you notice the way they dial back that last week?

It was three hours

two hours and 30

minutes.

Oh, that's better.

So who was in there going, it was only two and a half hours.

So it wasn't three hours.

It was three.

It's three.

The correct answer is two and a half.

Like that makes it any better.

Yeah.

Like they shouldn't have been there in 15 minutes, 10 minutes, five minutes or

less.

Right.

Yeah, we have.

That's crazy.

We have Millison on.

the True Talk text lines 833-212-1017.

Great morning.

We love you.

We appreciate you, Millicent.

What's your truth?

Good morning.

Good morning.

First, did you get an autograph from David Hollister?

You know what?

He was in the midst of partaking in a beverage.

Okay,

I'll

let you off this track.

And he smokes cigars and I don't smoke so, you know.

Oh

man,

I don't like him no more.

I don't know who smokes for God's sake.

One thing that I'm questioning is why do the dispatchers get in trouble if they single squat and non-emergency?

I'm not sure.

I don't

like...

I don't like that because my tax dollars for these police to do whatever we tell them to do.

And I think that's where the divide is coming.

The police now think they're running something when we should be running them.

You live off of us.

And if they're getting in trouble for doing a 911 call comes in and then they get there and it's a fake call.

and the dispatcher is getting in trouble.

That's a problem that we need to talk to the people at that police commission, because they shouldn't be getting in trouble for taking the call.

And then sending somebody, if I call them and say, hey, I had emergency phones been shot, and then they get there, and my cat is up a tree, who can we met at the dispatcher?

Right.

I'm confused with that one.

That part is a little bit confusing.

What happened totally is bad, but that part is a little messed up.

If they can't just call a squad and make a squad, they're where it needs to go for the fire department.

That's another problem.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's the problem.

Because that means somebody is saying, oh, we take, you don't waste our time, but you're on my time getting paid.

Yeah.

That's confusing to me.

Have a good day.

Thank you very much.

Thank

you.

Uh huh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's

true.

That's

very true.

Uh on our YouTube page again while you're there make sure you hit that like and subscribe aka hit that bell uh and we have uh Sawyer.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Uh let's see.

Jocelyn Walton said they definitely need to be some they're definitely needs to be some training on how to handle these calls

Uh, Laurent Taylor said, when I lived in, in a certain suburb whose initials are H, if you call 911, they were there in less than five minutes.

Could that be River Hills?

Could be.

And guess what?

They got time for you over River Hills.

They got time.

Hey, listen.

Out in Brookfield, they got time for you.

You want to come out there and clown?

They got time.

They'll pull right up on you.

You, you think you're doing something?

Yeah.

They'll put right up on you.

Let's you know.

Hey, we got you.

Will D nine said that if someone has a life alter, does their information life

alert?

Well, he said alter.

Oh,

OK.

I read what I see.

OK, he did.

Probably.

Yeah, I know.

OK.

Stars.

It was on my platform.

But does their information appear when they make a call?

If that's the case, seeing her age, why not send someone to check on her regardless of the situation?

I don't know, but it sounds like she had one that had a third party call in, right, for her.

Yeah.

And they would have known her.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So Lorraine Taylor said because it costs a lot of money and takes resources from calls that could be emergencies That's right, I guess Yeah,

also remember we Do only have a couple police officers out there

Bailey we gotta take

No.

All right.

Order in the studio.

We're fighting

for cops.

We need more.

Take us to bring,

baby.

We'll be back.

It's Truth in the Morning on 1017 the Truth.

All the things.

We got Al M. K. E. True Talk text lines 833-212-1017.

Great morning, Al.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

What's your truth?

My truth is, you know, sometimes when people is at work and they getting high and they doing some good dope, sometimes they don't like interruptions because he drags their feet.

And, you know, sometimes when you are good junkie and you at work, sometimes you would be kind of less concerning about what's going on.

Did anybody see if she was at work doing her some good dope?

Because, you know, we don't really got good junkies around here no more.

Okay.

What's the good

job?

Well, cause you know, I used to work at the post office many years ago and you had some real good dough.

You don't have some real good junkies down there.

They go to work every day, but they're very, they're not too attentive to everything that's going on.

So you never know.

She could have, she could have did her some, you know, some Williams whiskey.

She could have drunk some palm of science.

She coulda wed in the bathroom, did a couple of lines.

She coulda did some fit and all.

She coulda did some hair ring, cause you know when they do a hair ring, they mouth moves like tranquilizers.

Like they came.

Yeah, hair iron.

You know, they do some good hair iron.

Yeah, you know, they get to be moving.

So maybe she was frustrated cause they was asking where to hide.

Cause y'all know that when the good junkies be at work doing that good dope.

you know they they you know they do their job but they're just very they're kind of careless so maybe she was high or maybe she had a couple of shots apart my son and said s that 99 year old

wow

because you don't because you would because you know with junkies you don't mess with they hide because you mess with they hide and get sober real quick until you leave and then they go searching through the garbage can in the concrete look for some more dough you think she was getting high at work

Cuz it did take three hours and it isn't cut Hey, maybe she maybe she hit some math idea some angel does some angel be or something

Well, there was there was two of them wasn't

there?

There's two of them

Well, maybe they was well, maybe they was getting high together and they probably was arguing over who did too much dope

Could be

I mean cuz they I mean cuz they said she it took three hours

And she didn't want to call

nobody.

They said two and a half.

They've now dialed back the number.

So

they called her several times, right?

Huh?

Yeah, they called her.

Okay.

Was it two women or was it a man and woman?

We

don't know.

We don't know.

It's just too.

Okay.

Well, the

other scenario is either they was getting high and asking or they could be died.

But I think they was getting high and doing some good dough.

You know, I know he had to prepare for unexpected but

Yeah, he got

the views and opinions expressed by right the collars does not reflect that

of Milwaukee Black Media or a true one on one and any of the truth in the morning.

Yeah.

Yeah, I covered this all.

But it's

all up under the umbrella.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that part.

But yeah, I, you know, I can't speculate.

Uh, and I won't any further because again, I need to see the receipts.

Right.

You know, if they end up getting charged with, you know, not doing the right thing, then I'll know.

Right.

But other than that, everything right now is just speculation.

Right.

What it was, we did hear, you know, what, in my opinion, inappropriate interaction was like, it should have been taken with more, you know, sincerity and like concern.

It didn't it didn't sound like it was you know, very concerning

Yeah,

they wanted all this other information I can hear you know, you you want to hear

right?

Yeah, basically,

you know what I'm saying like that's not enough.

Do you understand what that means?

Right?

Because again and especially with the amount of TV that we've been having and the ones that have become

Yeah, exactly.

Like, again, it should absolutely, in my opinion, be a priority call.

Exactly.

It should be a priority call.

Shouldn't

be any

speculation on it.

Yeah, none whatsoever.

No, let's let's go deal with this situation.

Yeah.

And I'm just going to say, like I say, I don't know if there's a lot of life alert abuse.

I just don't.

think that it is.

Yeah.

But I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I would think that, you know, when they pushing them buttons, right, you know, that they need help.

You know, that's, you know, just my thought.

That walkie show.

You wanted to talk about.

Yeah, I just

wanted to touch on this.

You

know, we all heard about the thing that happened at Myers.

In and

walk a shop

law enforcement end up shooting someone

right

allegedly had a knife

and what had you know, I was trying to Hold they had a hostage allegedly,

right?

I Just wanted to bring it to everybody's attention the number one they haven't named the person

And I understand they're in the hospital or whatever

Mm-hmm

But if that was you home or blow

yeah, yeah Even though I would be like I might be like this

yes,

I would be darker and I'm already dark My picture would have been darker make me more scarier right and like

He's a evil person.

Right.

Right.

We had to do what we had to do.

Right.

And you would be charged.

It didn't matter if you were unconscious

in the hospital with the whole.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, you definitely would be handcuffed

24 hour.

Oh,

absolutely.

Absolutely.

Guard.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not to say that he don't have a guard

or

he's not handcuffed to bed.

Yeah.

But

You would definitely, without question, be named, picture posted, everybody would know it would be out there in these streets.

I haven't seen where they said they've charged them

yet.

Right.

They haven't

even done

that.

That's the slippery slope.

Right.

In my opinion, because just like a lot of news stations and whatnot and in media in general.

Right.

If they haven't charged a person yet, then they don't normally release the name.

Right.

But I'm saying you would have been

charged already.

I would have been charged and they would have had a name.

Yes.

All right.

Legendary.

Okay.

Okay.

He's a

legend for other reasons.

Right.

Absolutely.

Convict.

Convict.

Exactly.

I'm lucky.

Okay in the hospital like that.

Yeah, but they would have they would have done all of that.

Yeah, yeah,

but Not this guy.

Yeah, and I'm saying like I'm just wondering why all the things as you would say, you know didn't happen Like you would have seen my face being rolled out on the gurney,

right?

But remember they said they knew this guy

Right.

Law enforcement is

familiar with this

gentleman.

And I'm and I'm also wondering why because of that, one of the first things that a lot of TV media will do is order his prior interaction with law enforcement and be like, yeah, the man who's that X amount of years old and they'd read all the things but probably wouldn't just say his name.

Right, exactly,

but they'd have all the other information and some of the other interactions because Cory Ruiz they they they had all his stuff all of his prior stuff and Interactions with law enforcement and everything right that came out quick right They put up all criminal complaints right again is It's you already know

Yeah.

And I think Truth Nation knows what it is.

So how do we get around it?

Well, we could go up in there with our cameras.

Do we have cameras?

Well, we have some cameras.

Yeah.

And we could just go up in there as reporters and be like, we need to name him.

I tell you who is going to be named soon and very soon.

Who?

The anonymous reporter from the garage.

He or she is going to be named soon and very soon.

He is going to see HR soon and very soon.

You know what?

He is going to see

the truth.

I'll tell you what's really going to happen.

They're going to start calling people in the HR office and they're going to start grilling people.

Yeah, they're going to show them the video.

They're going to show them.

Is that you?

Is

that

you?

Is that you and

somebody going on anonymously tell them who it is.

Yeah.

You're listening to truth in the morning on the award winning one on one seven FM.

The truth.

We're broadcasting live from the American family studio.

Because

when we come back, we're going to talk about that mother.

That's crazy.

Yeah, this charge with the suffocation death of her.

seven month old.

That is another criminal complaint that I read on my keeping it real the next level platform that I would not read here because I was crying reading it.

It is it is so heartbreaking and traumatic read.

It's very like but in my opinion a lot of people failed that seven month old baby girl.

But we got to take care of some bills.

We go

talk about that when we come back out because we need to

absolutely

will be black Truth in the morning returns after this on 101 7 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 101 7 the truth on YouTube You are listening to truth in the morning on 101 7 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 101 7 the truth on YouTube

Welcome Black Truth Nation, Truth in the Morning.

I am the legendary Homer Blow along with my girl, Bailey Coleman.

And before we go into the Milwaukee mother charge for the death of her seven month old baby girl.

Got a message saying that they send the police, if you call 911, they send the police immediately to fake swatting calls that are anonymous.

They ain't even saying who they are.

It's a fake swatting call.

And so they said, this is unacceptable and normal for them.

And they say it as in police.

Wow.

Like, so those calls, they'll take them for an anonymous swatting

call.

But they dare, they dare.

So that, you know what, we probably do have to get another visit.

from the chief who was out and about.

He was at Black Arts Press MKE shout to MPD police chief Jeffrey Norman.

We'll probably have to get him black in

and

ask him some of these things about because, you know, we've had a few things that we've got questions about about how does this part work?

Right.

The swearing, you know, use the curse words, you know, like, is that against the policy?

because I haven't seen too many arrests that I haven't heard them doing that, even on body camp.

They don't care.

It don't matter.

Okay.

All right.

What happened to just get on the ground?

Yeah.

You can just say it more aggressively, but you know,

they

ain't calling me

names.

If it's in them, it's gonna come out when they're in a pressure.

Call me names.

You know, that that could invoke me to call you a name black.

You be like.

Nothing

back You They could get you shot

But you'd be so much less taste yeah, but so it's that frustrated me like C. Lo Green.

Let's say that You

know, yeah,

you know, yeah, you probably died you try that so don't try don't

don't try that

but I just

Just be quiet.

I can understand if it makes you feel a certain kind of way.

Yeah, I can understand too.

But you know what?

At the same time, just the goal is to go home.

All right.

So now this person, Mackenzie Critten.

Yeah, looks different.

So we're going to play the YouTube.

Gonna play the clip on our YouTube and Facebook live page all at one on one seven the truth so make sure you follow and Like on Facebook and like and subscribe hit

the

bell on YouTube, but this is a story about the seven month old death charges from the mother of the seven month old girl.

Yes, he couldn't All right Xavier you got that clip for us

It's a system designed to answer every call for help but when a 99 year old woman needed help recently and call takers could hear her being physically threatened

Oh, we yeah, that's that's when we played that clip.

All right, you're gonna get it right.

We're gonna get it right.

Yeah, but yeah, so Hopefully other people won't have to go through that travesty, but that person that was in that garage gonna get fired.

Yeah

That way

yeah, and they can't even try to say oh, they done it because no no no no I'm sure that there's a policy.

That's why you tried to do it anonymously Yeah, yeah, so you was talking about in-house business Mm-hmm outside the house literally literally outside the house literally It's literally or she was literally outside of the house because you know those voice morphing right can make a woman sound like a man

You know with the muffled right and then they can make a man sound like a woman to throw people off.

You know what I'm saying?

Right?

Sometimes it's a man that's talking and it sounds like a man just

relax.

It's

uh, yeah, we're gonna get that commercial out the way and then

we go.

So just to give everybody some background while we wait.

Oh, there we go.

We ready.

Yeah, we ready.

Okay.

See how we do this.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

There we go.

Old child prosecutors charged the baby girl's mother with child abuse causing death according to the criminal complaint Mackenzie Critten told investigators She was frustrated with the child crying and pressed the baby's face against her body until the infant stopped breathing The complaint also says Critten admitted to similar behavior before and says relatives saw it happen and

That's

it.

Yeah, yeah, but

This criminal complaint I mean, I think it'll make some of the strongest people if you have tear ducts cry or get emotional at the very least The amount of abuse with what you heard them say that she smothers this was her way of in the her words now in the criminal complaint

of whenever the baby cried, that's how she would make the baby stop crying.

She would hold the seven month old girl and this was before the girl was seven months.

You know, throughout, you know, she would hold her against her breast and smother her and hold her tight until she started turning blue.

And then she would sit the child down and hope that the baby wakes up.

And that's, and so this was her pattern of practice.

She would do that.

And then just she, so she was so shocked that the baby didn't wake up this time because normally she eventually ends up waking up from being smothered and turning blue.

So this, wow, she turned blue and didn't wake up.

body was cold to the touch.

They had to, you know, they were able to, they worked on her at the house for a long time and was able to get a faint pulse.

But by the time they went to the hospital and they tried to.

So was it the

family that worked on her?

What happened?

No, it was paramedics because then the, uh, this is, that was the first time that the police were called.

If you heard in that, they were saying that, uh, she's done this several times, but there was never a call.

And there were people that resided there and even the father and they would see this.

And even if they, you know, try to revive the baby or whatever they may have done, no one ever called the police.

And that's why I say and I stand on that they failed.

They failed that seven month old girl.

Yeah.

Because.

You know, it's it's one thing to do CPR if you're you know trying to help revive the baby But right where's the call if you know that this is a pattern of practice She said and admit it that family members are new You get what I'm saying they've witnessed this over weeks And so I'm saying my my thing with that is if you have right Why not call you know if you know like so whether she has

mental health issues, whatever the case may be.

And I'm not saying that she's been diagnosed with that, but I'm saying when were you going to call an ambulance?

Yes.

When were you going to call the police?

I mean, here's the thing.

If you see that and you're a family member, you're close, you're around

the least.

Yeah.

The least you could do is save them both and get the baby from.

Right.

And let her know you can't be doing that.

We're not doing this.

Right.

You know

what I mean?

She should have never had possession, in my opinion.

Yeah.

And like I say, I know some.

I

was sneak called CPS.

I ain't got a lot of you.

I wouldn't sneak call.

I would just call.

You know what I'm saying?

Well, but

I'm saying if you live there or something like that, I would just place the phone call.

Yeah.

Because.

You can't that baby.

That's.

Well, as you can see, that that is what ended a child's life,

right?

You know, and so you think that she's not doing any harm,

right?

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Well, the Ryan, we started out with some great news.

We talked about the fact that Larry Sanders, former Milwaukee Bucks player.

coming black doing what he's doing for the community here.

We also talked about the Black Arts Fest MKE and how amazing that was.

We also talked about the Bronzeville Arts and Cultural Festival that took place.

And of course it's Bronzeville Week and there's many things going on throughout the week.

So yeah, yeah, we started out with a lot of great things.

But again, we cannot deny these unfortunate horrific situations that are going on as well.

And we can't.

not update people on reports that we talked about and after getting more information.

So that's just my stance on it, you know, I tell you on the YouTube.

Yeah, yeah, I tell people, you know, I can't wait for the day they don't give us any negative news to talk about.

I love to not have to hear that three people were shot over the weekend.

Yeah.

Yeah, or yesterday.

You're going to say somewhere.

That's a low number.

Well, you add the other day.

And you know, you remember the money amount.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Right.

So yeah, yeah, we we'd love to.

So our community has to really come together so we can provide nothing but great news.

Right.

Because I'd love to.

Yeah.

But I can't not think about the families.

that are victims from the victims that may have been affected by this violence.

I don't want nobody to say you know that that was my such-and-such and ain't nobody talking about it because some of y'all don't understand we get a lot of that too ain't nobody talking about my daughter that ain't nobody talking about my son you should see the news reports too where they always get on the news when they finally do and be like and but nobody's talking about this nobody's talking about nobody's talking about Nolan you gonna say so it's like again we don't want to trust me that's not just all I just can't wait to

Uh, talk about negative stuff and shootings, you know what?

When we, when we, when we weren't covering some of the bad stories and we got, y'all don't talk about what's really going on.

So it's gotta be a happy meeting.

We

do

take the time to report and talk about things that are

positive.

We lose a seven month old baby girl.

And you know, we don't talk about it and then let y'all give y'all truth on how these things could have been prevented.

That's why we always want to hear from you.

What is the solution?

What do we need to do?

What can change the narrative?

So it's all about balance with anything you do.

And so I just want people to know and understand that.

And that's what I talk about.

I'm like, oh, wish we had eyes, nothing but.

But we talk about people that graduated and are doing this and doing that.

We talk about those things.

But we also got to keep it real with some other hard truth.

that is going on around us too.

And when some people have to be like, damn, I ain't even hear about that.

Yeah.

Like, yeah, well, you're going to learn today.

And then what can we do to change the narrative?

That's the end game.

Yes.

What can we do to break it down to where is law enforcement doesn't have to pick and choose which 911 calls they go to that part?

You know, I mean, these are real issues.

These are real issues.

Are you voting?

Yeah.

On the 11th.

Yeah.

some people ain't gonna go vote yeah 11 yeah they already

done planned out not voting

yeah and then we'll complain if they feel the wrong person got in it like uh-oh it's really gonna be trouble okay complain right you could have done your part yep you didn't you can legally vote yeah could have done your part to help you can help get the word out hey you know it's early vote still going on right no lie

I know who I'm voting for.

I know you don't understand, but you know, but yeah, these are these are real things.

Yes.

And some people are mad when they talk about politics because they affect us.

Yeah.

So we we talk about a

plethora

plethora of cornucopia.

Yeah.

So just understand that it ain't they trust and believe I'd love to not have to hear that three people were killed in this mass shooting and several others injured Forgot what state it was.

But yeah, it's like, you know, I don't get joy out of hearing that he was on Water Street clown it again, right?

It was on Brady Street crack clown it again.

Somebody got shot at Sherman Park

We didn't even talk about the last Brady Street incident.

We got to go to break.

Yeah

But yeah, so that's what it is.

You know what I'm

saying?

Yeah.

So we got to take care of some bills

and we'll be black.

Listen, listen, I'm just saying I don't think five six news or five six local Did they do diligence with that one?

I don't

you're not supposed to see anything

Because pinpoint who you are, where you are.

If you're being anonymous.

Somebody

been over that person's house.

Yeah.

And yeah,

it's a gas.

It's a garbage truck running through there or recycling truck running through there today.

I think that's I think they

have.

I

believe I think they were on the south side of Milwaukee.

I know.

Yeah.

Alley

was real clean.

Yeah.

not only that

okay but

even though

they didn't look dilapidated

even though they disguise the person's voice right there's a certain way that we all talk right everybody has their own distinct vernacular vernacular so I believe the person was from the island of okay I'm gonna leave it alone but

I get

it they were non-ethnic

Hmm.

Okay

in their tone.

All I know is whoever it is you

fight.

Yeah.

You played yourself.

You let them talk you into your garage and you sit in your garage and we looking at the garage.

We can

we can our rates and we've already halfway located you because you on the south

side.

Right.

That was a I don't know.

Am I the only one that picked that up?

Like, you know

what?

Yeah, that wouldn't, you know, that wouldn't.

Yeah, that wouldn't.

Loretta Taylor on their YouTube set and you knew dude wasn't black because they didn't show his picture right away.

Well,

talking about the one that did it, the maceous.

I read.

Oh, yeah, we talked about

that.

Yeah, we talked about that.

Yeah.

And that was.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that part, that part, that part.

And as it relates to the actual story, Lorraine Taylor said, I can hear her getting her butt kicked in the black ground.

Yeah.

What else do you need to hear?

Well, that is so true.

And then think about this.

You had the person from Life Alert or whatever her little pin thing

is that she

pushed.

Yep.

Calling themselves.

Right.

They were talking to her and.

The lady asked her what else do you need?

And you know, I mean, it's just to me, it's ridiculous.

If you get one of those people to call, then you need to go check and it needs to be a priority.

Right.

Because clearly they have that

around you to

get them.

That's right.

That's what they're having around their neck.

Go check it.

It's still outrageous to me.

It's outrageous.

It is.

It is.

It is.

Sir Chauncey said, oh, wow.

What a hideous and despicable act he committed then he had the audacity to enter inferred that it was the alcohol in conjunction But the fact that he was inebriated that caused him to just flip Will D9 said good morning, not sure if he said he heard what was going there If so, why didn't he call the supervisor?

Right like it was just too much

a lot.

Yeah, it was saying that he

would have elevated it to his supervisor, but I don't understand why would you hear something like that?

Or when you get a call like that, why it's just not automatically elevated for somebody to go out and check on

it.

It could only be a higher spirit that allowed her to actually even call exactly self.

Exactly.

Because

Bailey I have the criminal complaint on that and the extent of her injuries and the way that he Beat her.

Yeah, like see and

she yeah, I don't know Somebody that's 99 You know just something small

in that interaction.

Yeah, like they can

put have

could have taken

her right out.

They could fall and create internal bleeds.

Oh yeah, absolutely.

Break bones and all of that.

Oh yeah, sure.

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah.

Light threatening for

him kicking in the door.

Yeah.

Could have been, you know, I mean, just think about people are fragile anyway.

But you get to 99.

Yeah, I'm just not going to.

I'm not going to read that any.

I can't even read any excerpts.

From that criminal complaint in my opinion because the way he beat her was so brutal It was so brutal you'd be crying

you know what

feel the same way about the seven month old I

feel like the people

that baby.

Oh my gosh.

We don't have to talk about that too.

Yeah, I feel like those people should be Definitely not getting any pay while they're off right now and they should be

There should be some type of suspension.

It was along with some retraining if they want to come back.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That that's that's terrible.

Yeah, because you know, just passing that and I can say I don't say that nobody is important.

Everybody is but you know, this woman 99 and it was coming from life alert.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That part.

Like, yeah.

Yeah, why do you have these things, right?

You know, right?

JDC 72 on our YouTube said I had someone make a fake 911 call on me.

They came right away.

Crazy.

Yeah.

See, Laurent Taylor says so somebody told dispatchers that if they send a squad to a non-emergency 911 call that they are in trouble.

That's why they need supervisory approval.

Wow.

Hmm.

Yeah,

so it's a crap game.

Yeah,

yeah

crap shoot.

Mm-hmm.

So That is Again, I heard all of the things that would have let me know that it was the

emergency Mm-hmm But did you see you notice the way they dial back that last week?

It was three hours

two hours and 30

minutes.

Oh, that's better.

So who was in there going, it was only two and a half hours.

So it wasn't three hours.

It was three.

It's three.

The correct answer is two and a half.

Like that makes it any better.

Yeah.

Like they shouldn't have been there in 15 minutes, 10 minutes, five minutes or

less.

Right.

Yeah, we have.

That's crazy.

We have Millison on.

the True Talk text lines 833-212-1017.

Great morning.

We love you.

We appreciate you, Millicent.

What's your truth?

Good morning.

Good morning.

First, did you get an autograph from David Hollister?

You know what?

He was in the midst of partaking in a beverage.

Okay,

I'll

let you off this track.

And he smokes cigars and I don't smoke so, you know.

Oh

man,

I don't like him no more.

I don't know who smokes for God's sake.

One thing that I'm questioning is why do the dispatchers get in trouble if they single squat and non-emergency?

I'm not sure.

I don't

like...

I don't like that because my tax dollars for these police to do whatever we tell them to do.

And I think that's where the divide is coming.

The police now think they're running something when we should be running them.

You live off of us.

And if they're getting in trouble for doing a 911 call comes in and then they get there and it's a fake call.

and the dispatcher is getting in trouble.

That's a problem that we need to talk to the people at that police commission, because they shouldn't be getting in trouble for taking the call.

And then sending somebody, if I call them and say, hey, I had emergency phones been shot, and then they get there, and my cat is up a tree, who can we met at the dispatcher?

Right.

I'm confused with that one.

That part is a little bit confusing.

What happened totally is bad, but that part is a little messed up.

If they can't just call a squad and make a squad, they're where it needs to go for the fire department.

That's another problem.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's the problem.

Because that means somebody is saying, oh, we take, you don't waste our time, but you're on my time getting paid.

Yeah.

That's confusing to me.

Have a good day.

Thank you very much.

Thank

you.

Uh huh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's

true.

That's

very true.

Uh on our YouTube page again while you're there make sure you hit that like and subscribe aka hit that bell uh and we have uh Sawyer.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Uh let's see.

Jocelyn Walton said they definitely need to be some they're definitely needs to be some training on how to handle these calls

Uh, Laurent Taylor said, when I lived in, in a certain suburb whose initials are H, if you call 911, they were there in less than five minutes.

Could that be River Hills?

Could be.

And guess what?

They got time for you over River Hills.

They got time.

Hey, listen.

Out in Brookfield, they got time for you.

You want to come out there and clown?

They got time.

They'll pull right up on you.

You, you think you're doing something?

Yeah.

They'll put right up on you.

Let's you know.

Hey, we got you.

Will D nine said that if someone has a life alter, does their information life

alert?

Well, he said alter.

Oh,

OK.

I read what I see.

OK, he did.

Probably.

Yeah, I know.

OK.

Stars.

It was on my platform.

But does their information appear when they make a call?

If that's the case, seeing her age, why not send someone to check on her regardless of the situation?

I don't know, but it sounds like she had one that had a third party call in, right, for her.

Yeah.

And they would have known her.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So Lorraine Taylor said because it costs a lot of money and takes resources from calls that could be emergencies That's right, I guess Yeah,

also remember we Do only have a couple police officers out there

Bailey we gotta take

No.

All right.

Order in the studio.

We're fighting

for cops.

We need more.

All the things.

All the things.

We got Al M. K. E. True Talk text lines 833-212-1017.

Great morning, Al.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

What's your truth?

My truth is, you know, sometimes when people is at work and they getting high and they doing some good dope, sometimes they don't like interruptions because he drags their feet.

And, you know, sometimes when you are good junkie and you at work, sometimes you would be kind of less concerning about what's going on.

Did anybody see if she was at work doing her some good dope?

Because, you know, we don't really got good junkies around here no more.

Okay.

What's the good

job?

Well, cause you know, I used to work at the post office many years ago and you had some real good dough.

You don't have some real good junkies down there.

They go to work every day, but they're very, they're not too attentive to everything that's going on.

So you never know.

She could have, she could have did her some, you know, some Williams whiskey.

She could have drunk some palm of science.

She coulda wed in the bathroom, did a couple of lines.

She coulda did some fit and all.

She coulda did some hair ring, cause you know when they do a hair ring, they mouth moves like tranquilizers.

Like they came.

Yeah, hair iron.

You know, they do some good hair iron.

Yeah, you know, they get to be moving.

So maybe she was frustrated cause they was asking where to hide.

Cause y'all know that when the good junkies be at work doing that good dope.

you know they they you know they do their job but they're just very they're kind of careless so maybe she was high or maybe she had a couple of shots apart my son and said s that 99 year old

wow

because you don't because you would because you know with junkies you don't mess with they hide because you mess with they hide and get sober real quick until you leave and then they go searching through the garbage can in the concrete look for some more dough you think she was getting high at work

Cuz it did take three hours and it isn't cut Hey, maybe she maybe she hit some math idea some angel does some angel be or something

Well, there was there was two of them wasn't

there?

There's two of them

Well, maybe they was well, maybe they was getting high together and they probably was arguing over who did too much dope

Could be

I mean cuz they I mean cuz they said she it took three hours

And she didn't want to call

nobody.

They said two and a half.

They've now dialed back the number.

So

they called her several times, right?

Huh?

Yeah, they called her.

Okay.

Was it two women or was it a man and woman?

We

don't know.

We don't know.

It's just too.

Okay.

Well, the

other scenario is either they was getting high and asking or they could be died.

But I think they was getting high and doing some good dough.

You know, I know he had to prepare for unexpected but

Yeah, he got

the views and opinions expressed by right the collars does not reflect that

of Milwaukee Black Media or a true one on one and any of the truth in the morning.

Yeah.

Yeah, I covered this all.

But it's

all up under the umbrella.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that part.

But yeah, I, you know, I can't speculate.

Uh, and I won't any further because again, I need to see the receipts.

Right.

You know, if they end up getting charged with, you know, not doing the right thing, then I'll know.

Right.

But other than that, everything right now is just speculation.

Right.

What it was, we did hear, you know, what, in my opinion, inappropriate interaction was like, it should have been taken with more, you know, sincerity and like concern.

It didn't it didn't sound like it was you know, very concerning

Yeah,

they wanted all this other information I can hear you know, you you want to hear

right?

Yeah, basically,

you know what I'm saying like that's not enough.

Do you understand what that means?

Right?

Because again and especially with the amount of TV that we've been having and the ones that have become

Yeah, exactly.

Like, again, it should absolutely, in my opinion, be a priority call.

Exactly.

It should be a priority call.

Shouldn't

be any

speculation on it.

Yeah, none whatsoever.

No, let's let's go deal with this situation.

Yeah.

And I'm just going to say, like I say, I don't know if there's a lot of life alert abuse.

I just don't.

think that it is.

Yeah.

But I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I would think that, you know, when they pushing them buttons, right, you know, that they need help.

You know, that's, you know, just my thought.

That walkie show.

You wanted to talk about.

Yeah, I just

wanted to touch on this.

You

know, we all heard about the thing that happened at Myers.

In and

walk a shop

law enforcement end up shooting someone

right

allegedly had a knife

and what had you know, I was trying to Hold they had a hostage allegedly,

right?

I Just wanted to bring it to everybody's attention the number one they haven't named the person

And I understand they're in the hospital or whatever

Mm-hmm

But if that was you home or blow

yeah, yeah Even though I would be like I might be like this

yes,

I would be darker and I'm already dark My picture would have been darker make me more scarier right and like

He's a evil person.

Right.

Right.

We had to do what we had to do.

Right.

And you would be charged.

It didn't matter if you were unconscious

in the hospital with the whole.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, you definitely would be handcuffed

24 hour.

Oh,

absolutely.

Absolutely.

Guard.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not to say that he don't have a guard

or

he's not handcuffed to bed.

Yeah.

But

You would definitely, without question, be named, picture posted, everybody would know it would be out there in these streets.

I haven't seen where they said they've charged them

yet.

Right.

They haven't

even done

that.

That's the slippery slope.

Right.

In my opinion, because just like a lot of news stations and whatnot and in media in general.

Right.

If they haven't charged a person yet, then they don't normally release the name.

Right.

But I'm saying you would have been

charged already.

I would have been charged and they would have had a name.

Yes.

All right.

Legendary.

Okay.

Okay.

He's a

legend for other reasons.

Right.

Absolutely.

Convict.

Convict.

Exactly.

I'm lucky.

Okay in the hospital like that.

Yeah, but they would have they would have done all of that.

Yeah, yeah,

but Not this guy.

Yeah, and I'm saying like I'm just wondering why all the things as you would say, you know didn't happen Like you would have seen my face being rolled out on the gurney,

right?

But remember they said they knew this guy

Right.

Law enforcement is

familiar with this

gentleman.

And I'm and I'm also wondering why because of that, one of the first things that a lot of TV media will do is order his prior interaction with law enforcement and be like, yeah, the man who's that X amount of years old and they'd read all the things but probably wouldn't just say his name.

Right, exactly,

but they'd have all the other information and some of the other interactions because Cory Ruiz they they they had all his stuff all of his prior stuff and Interactions with law enforcement and everything right that came out quick right They put up all criminal complaints right again is It's you already know

Yeah.

And I think Truth Nation knows what it is.

So how do we get around it?

Well, we could go up in there with our cameras.

Do we have cameras?

Well, we have some cameras.

Yeah.

And we could just go up in there as reporters and be like, we need to name him.

I tell you who is going to be named soon and very soon.

Who?

The anonymous reporter from the garage.

He or she is going to be named soon and very soon.

He is going to see HR soon and very soon.

You know what?

He is going to see

the truth.

I'll tell you what's really going to happen.

They're going to start calling people in the HR office and they're going to start grilling people.

Yeah, they're going to show them the video.

They're going to show them.

Is that you?

Is

that

you?

Is that you and

somebody going on anonymously tell them who it is.

Yeah.

You're listening to truth in the morning on the award winning one on one seven FM.

The truth.

We're broadcasting live from the American family studio.

Because

when we come back, we're going to talk about that mother.

That's crazy.

Yeah, this charge with the suffocation death of her.

seven month old.

That is another criminal complaint that I read on my keeping it real the next level platform that I would not read here because I was crying reading it.

It is it is so heartbreaking and traumatic read.

It's very like but in my opinion a lot of people failed that seven month old baby girl.

But we got to take care of some bills.

We go

talk about that when we come back out because we need to

absolutely

will be black Truth in the morning returns after this on 101 7 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 101 7 the truth on YouTube You are listening to truth in the morning on 101 7 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 101 7 the truth on YouTube

Welcome Black Truth Nation, Truth in the Morning.

I am the legendary Homer Blow along with my girl, Bailey Coleman.

And before we go into the Milwaukee mother charge for the death of her seven month old baby girl.

Got a message saying that they send the police, if you call 911, they send the police immediately to fake swatting calls that are anonymous.

They ain't even saying who they are.

It's a fake swatting call.

And so they said, this is unacceptable and normal for them.

And they say it as in police.

Wow.

Like, so those calls, they'll take them for an anonymous swatting

call.

But they dare, they dare.

So that, you know what, we probably do have to get another visit.

from the chief who was out and about.

He was at Black Arts Press MKE shout to MPD police chief Jeffrey Norman.

We'll probably have to get him black in

and

ask him some of these things about because, you know, we've had a few things that we've got questions about about how does this part work?

Right.

The swearing, you know, use the curse words, you know, like, is that against the policy?

because I haven't seen too many arrests that I haven't heard them doing that, even on body camp.

They don't care.

It don't matter.

Okay.

All right.

What happened to just get on the ground?

Yeah.

You can just say it more aggressively, but you know,

they

ain't calling me

names.

If it's in them, it's gonna come out when they're in a pressure.

Call me names.

You know, that that could invoke me to call you a name black.

You be like.

Nothing

back You They could get you shot

But you'd be so much less taste yeah, but so it's that frustrated me like C. Lo Green.

Let's say that You

know, yeah,

you know, yeah, you probably died you try that so don't try don't

don't try that

but I just

Just be quiet.

I can understand if it makes you feel a certain kind of way.

Yeah, I can understand too.

But you know what?

At the same time, just the goal is to go home.

All right.

So now this person, Mackenzie Critten.

Yeah, looks different.

So we're going to play the YouTube.

Gonna play the clip on our YouTube and Facebook live page all at one on one seven the truth so make sure you follow and Like on Facebook and like and subscribe hit

the

bell on YouTube, but this is a story about the seven month old death charges from the mother of the seven month old girl.

Yes, he couldn't All right Xavier you got that clip for us

It's a system designed to answer every call for help but when a 99 year old woman needed help recently and call takers could hear her being physically threatened

Oh, we yeah, that's that's when we played that clip.

All right, you're gonna get it right.

We're gonna get it right.

Yeah, but yeah, so Hopefully other people won't have to go through that travesty, but that person that was in that garage gonna get fired.

Yeah

That way

yeah, and they can't even try to say oh, they done it because no no no no I'm sure that there's a policy.

That's why you tried to do it anonymously Yeah, yeah, so you was talking about in-house business Mm-hmm outside the house literally literally outside the house literally It's literally or she was literally outside of the house because you know those voice morphing right can make a woman sound like a man

You know with the muffled right and then they can make a man sound like a woman to throw people off.

You know what I'm saying?

Right?

Sometimes it's a man that's talking and it sounds like a man just

relax.

It's

uh, yeah, we're gonna get that commercial out the way and then

we go.

So just to give everybody some background while we wait.

Oh, there we go.

We ready.

Yeah, we ready.

Okay.

See how we do this.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

There we go.

Old child prosecutors charged the baby girl's mother with child abuse causing death according to the criminal complaint Mackenzie Critten told investigators She was frustrated with the child crying and pressed the baby's face against her body until the infant stopped breathing The complaint also says Critten admitted to similar behavior before and says relatives saw it happen and

That's

it.

Yeah, yeah, but

This criminal complaint I mean, I think it'll make some of the strongest people if you have tear ducts cry or get emotional at the very least The amount of abuse with what you heard them say that she smothers this was her way of in the her words now in the criminal complaint

of whenever the baby cried, that's how she would make the baby stop crying.

She would hold the seven month old girl and this was before the girl was seven months.

You know, throughout, you know, she would hold her against her breast and smother her and hold her tight until she started turning blue.

And then she would sit the child down and hope that the baby wakes up.

And that's, and so this was her pattern of practice.

She would do that.

And then just she, so she was so shocked that the baby didn't wake up this time because normally she eventually ends up waking up from being smothered and turning blue.

So this, wow, she turned blue and didn't wake up.

body was cold to the touch.

They had to, you know, they were able to, they worked on her at the house for a long time and was able to get a faint pulse.

But by the time they went to the hospital and they tried to.

So was it the

family that worked on her?

What happened?

No, it was paramedics because then the, uh, this is, that was the first time that the police were called.

If you heard in that, they were saying that, uh, she's done this several times, but there was never a call.

And there were people that resided there and even the father and they would see this.

And even if they, you know, try to revive the baby or whatever they may have done, no one ever called the police.

And that's why I say and I stand on that they failed.

They failed that seven month old girl.

Yeah.

Because.

You know, it's it's one thing to do CPR if you're you know trying to help revive the baby But right where's the call if you know that this is a pattern of practice She said and admit it that family members are new You get what I'm saying they've witnessed this over weeks And so I'm saying my my thing with that is if you have right Why not call you know if you know like so whether she has

mental health issues, whatever the case may be.

And I'm not saying that she's been diagnosed with that, but I'm saying when were you going to call an ambulance?

Yes.

When were you going to call the police?

I mean, here's the thing.

If you see that and you're a family member, you're close, you're around

the least.

Yeah.

The least you could do is save them both and get the baby from.

Right.

And let her know you can't be doing that.

We're not doing this.

Right.

You know

what I mean?

She should have never had possession, in my opinion.

Yeah.

And like I say, I know some.

I

was sneak called CPS.

I ain't got a lot of you.

I wouldn't sneak call.

I would just call.

You know what I'm saying?

Well, but

I'm saying if you live there or something like that, I would just place the phone call.

Yeah.

Because.

You can't that baby.

That's.

Well, as you can see, that that is what ended a child's life,

right?

You know, and so you think that she's not doing any harm,

right?

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Well, the Ryan, we started out with some great news.

We talked about the fact that Larry Sanders, former Milwaukee Bucks player.

coming black doing what he's doing for the community here.

We also talked about the Black Arts Fest MKE and how amazing that was.

We also talked about the Bronzeville Arts and Cultural Festival that took place.

And of course it's Bronzeville Week and there's many things going on throughout the week.

So yeah, yeah, we started out with a lot of great things.

But again, we cannot deny these unfortunate horrific situations that are going on as well.

And we can't.

not update people on reports that we talked about and after getting more information.

So that's just my stance on it, you know, I tell you on the YouTube.

Yeah, yeah, I tell people, you know, I can't wait for the day they don't give us any negative news to talk about.

I love to not have to hear that three people were shot over the weekend.

Yeah.

Yeah, or yesterday.

You're going to say somewhere.

That's a low number.

Well, you add the other day.

And you know, you remember the money amount.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Right.

So yeah, yeah, we we'd love to.

So our community has to really come together so we can provide nothing but great news.

Right.

Because I'd love to.

Yeah.

But I can't not think about the families.

that are victims from the victims that may have been affected by this violence.

I don't want nobody to say you know that that was my such-and-such and ain't nobody talking about it because some of y'all don't understand we get a lot of that too ain't nobody talking about my daughter that ain't nobody talking about my son you should see the news reports too where they always get on the news when they finally do and be like and but nobody's talking about this nobody's talking about nobody's talking about Nolan you gonna say so it's like again we don't want to trust me that's not just all I just can't wait to

Uh, talk about negative stuff and shootings, you know what?

When we, when we, when we weren't covering some of the bad stories and we got, y'all don't talk about what's really going on.

So it's gotta be a happy meeting.

We

do

take the time to report and talk about things that are

positive.

We lose a seven month old baby girl.

And you know, we don't talk about it and then let y'all give y'all truth on how these things could have been prevented.

That's why we always want to hear from you.

What is the solution?

What do we need to do?

What can change the narrative?

So it's all about balance with anything you do.

And so I just want people to know and understand that.

And that's what I talk about.

I'm like, oh, wish we had eyes, nothing but.

But we talk about people that graduated and are doing this and doing that.

We talk about those things.

But we also got to keep it real with some other hard truth.

that is going on around us too.

And when some people have to be like, damn, I ain't even hear about that.

Yeah.

Like, yeah, well, you're going to learn today.

And then what can we do to change the narrative?

That's the end game.

Yes.

What can we do to break it down to where is law enforcement doesn't have to pick and choose which 911 calls they go to that part?

You know, I mean, these are real issues.

These are real issues.

Are you voting?

Yeah.

On the 11th.

Yeah.

some people ain't gonna go vote yeah 11 yeah they already

done planned out not voting

yeah and then we'll complain if they feel the wrong person got in it like uh-oh it's really gonna be trouble okay complain right you could have done your part yep you didn't you can legally vote yeah could have done your part to help you can help get the word out hey you know it's early vote still going on right no lie

detected

uh August 11th is the actual election

yeah

and it's going to be a very important election yep

We can't tell you who to vote for.

I know who I'm voting for.

I know you don't understand, but you know, but yeah, these are these are real things.

Yes.

And some people are mad when they talk about politics because they affect us.

Yeah.

So we we talk about a

plethora

plethora of cornucopia.

Yeah.

So just understand that it ain't they trust and believe I'd love to not have to hear that three people were killed in this mass shooting and several others injured Forgot what state it was.

But yeah, it's like, you know, I don't get joy out of hearing that he was on Water Street clown it again, right?

It was on Brady Street crack clown it again.

Somebody got shot at Sherman Park

We didn't even talk about the last Brady Street incident.

We got to go to break.

Yeah

But yeah, so that's what it is.

You know what I'm

saying?

Yeah.

So we got to take care of some bills

and we'll be black.
