You know, all of that.
But now here he comes locked and loaded.
Yeah, all signs of PWK is when some people in the community are just trying to look out for your son or daughter as if they're their son or daughter because it should be a community effort in trying to make sure that our children don't have to grow up in these violent situations.
Don't have to.
Try to be in the street across the street and somebody to get wheels that are 24 inches high or 30 inches high off the ground and they bump in a system so they can't see the child that's trying to cross the street or running and darting across the street as it used to be said and neighbor

Milwaukee College Prep has definitely proven itself with the scholars that they have.
And if you don't have, you know, the guidance, they just told you all of the things that they do.
to make sure that your child is the scholar that they are and that they have the help in whatever areas that they may need.
So that that's where I was, you know, going before the break.
So, yep, Milwaukee College prep.
Welcome back to Truth in the Morning on the award-winning 1017 FM The Truth and the legendary Homer blow along with my girl, Bailey Coleman.
All right.
So you're talking about some of the differences.
Willie Henning has been, you know,
Cracking up because unfortunately in my opinion, it's the truth Yeah You know, you know you you got to read it because it's the truth and it's they took the time to put it on our YouTube page Willie Henning said PWK's kids have three book bags each
seen him in all the bookbag giveaways.
Uh huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They sure do.
Some of them have five and more.
Yeah.
Good morning.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'm just going to give you an experience.
This is short story.
I was on vacation for like 365 days.
Okay.
lot of a lot of young people was on vacation with I got you.
I got
So, um, you know, I'm trying to school them on different things, you know, and one day I asked the brothers there what time it is.
I didn't have my contact so I couldn't see the clock.
This guy had to be at Leeds.
Leeds 2021, somewhere up in there.
This brother had to go to the computer to look at the digital time because he didn't know how to tell time on a clock.
So we do not need phones in school like Bailey
They can't read.
What?
He knew how to use the tablet, though.
He knew how to get on there and do the video calls and all of that, but he could not read a phase clock, which makes me wonder, how did he even get past, you know, kindergarten to whatever grade he made until they just keep passing without these skills.
I remember in kindergarten, we had to make a clock.
paper and we went home and that's how we learn how to tell time.
I'm trying to figure out what to be the youth these days miss.
Well,
what happened?
The school itself or well, we started learning how to tell time at home.
So
Oh, I don't I don't know.
I didn't know that they still
we had.
I get it.
I kind of blew my mind.
I just kind of made me wonder like.
because I was so used to looking at a regular clock.
You know what I mean?
Right.
5, 10, 15.
That's 15 after.
Right, right,
just didn't really blew my mind.
Something simple is that.
That just let me know something's going on funny in these schools.
bruh.
for your call.
right
The good news is they are saying that they're now reinstating, you know, teaching people how to write in cursive.
Now, my son's generation or his class was the first one that they didn't teach it to.
So.
I actually, so that means that there's like 20 years worth of people that don't know how to sign their name.
I taught my son how to do it.
from our bills.
Don't touch that dial truth in the morning will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 1017 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
I'm the legendary home blow along with a girl Bailey Coleman talking about trying to make sure that our children are being successful school year and things that need to be done to make sure that that happens.
If you can't handle it at home, don't stop being afraid to acknowledge that you have a literacy problem.
that have nonprofits that are trying to help people in those areas in which they may not be strong.
Yeah.
But you got to stop trying to let your pride and ego get in the way of going and utilizing those services.
Yeah.
Because other than that, you know, like it's like some people that because they make it a lot of money doing something illegal.
And they feel like I don't got to know how to read.
I don't have to know how to do this.
I don't have to know how whatever, whatever you do.
Yeah, you feel the same.
Every time I read their C cap and criminal complaints, they're indigent.
They don't have money to get a lawyer.
They need a public pretender or defender.
You feel understand?
Mm-hmm.
They had to get that because now listen, but now you was out here, Boston, you was always in the bottle section, you was always doing this, you was always tossing money and this that and the other, but now that same person,
truth?
Good morning.
Good morning.
I don't like paying my bills, but I do like to pay them.
important.
It's a necessity.
Like car insurance.
Yes.
For this, I'm going to say this.
But there are some things that MPS doesn't do.
They don't teach them how to rule the clock.
They don't teach them how to write cursive.
But I got a secret for y'all that I need y'all to understand.
Your mom and daddy can teach you that, too.
cursive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we have to stop blaming the school for what they don't teach.
I'm gonna tell you something that the school does.
They have to feed your kids.
They have to give your kids counseling from the stuff that you've done to them at the house.
All of that when they contract signed up for.
check.
Okay.
Yeah.
If they're not teaching them how to read a clock, can you at least do that?
Because you didn't go buy no book bag and no school supplies.
So can you at least teach them how to read a clock?
Can you at least teach them to be respectable people?
Oh my gosh.
I'm sure the teachers would love that.
Everybody is talking about this thing with the federal government coming down on NPS suspending so many black kids.
My problem is this.
We're only 10%, less than 10% of the people who go to state fair.
When you saw that video of the last night, we were 100% represented.
Those are the thank yous y'all sent to the teachers at the school.
understand that.
is not an NPS only problem.
only problem if NPS wasn't doing all the other things.
Right now, they've got a thing going on TV about the shootings, how kids just hear gunshots all the time.
Is that the teacher's fault?
Right.
Is that your fault?
Because of where you live and where you decided to lay down it.
Don't blame the community.
For your downfall, when your downfall was made of bad decisions.
Some people decided to have that baby.
Now we know that was a bad decision.
Some things are just bad decisions and it's not racist.
It's bad decisions.
And we need to understand that.
Today is the first day of school.
Y'all more concerned about what your kid is gonna have on.
Mm-hmm.
Than what he's gonna learn.
Yes ma'am.
Half of y'all went to the book bag giveaway.
Mm-hmm.
But y'all didn't go to the open house at the school.
There it is.
There it is.
So now, when these kids are family and Milwaukee is the way it is, it's not because the teachers aren't doing their job,
go to work every day.
It's what you're sending them is inappropriate.
When you have a kid, now today you know it's going to be a lot of mess about these cell phones, right?
Somebody up here now telling me if you try to take your phone, you give me a call.
Yeah, this is somebody just now.
This is the beginning of the problem.
And then we're going to say, my baby didn't learn nothing.
My baby graduated.
He couldn't leave.
But that means you didn't ever have to leave a cake box.
Say it.
You don't have a high school diploma but you got a car key
Thank
the
and I
If Xavier has been able to find that clip.
We're four Messamer high school students were robbed Milwaukee police steel searching for robbers and we got the news clip.
We're gonna play that and We definitely need to talk about that and some of the safety tips that law enforcement is giving about Children and when they're going to and from school,
Well, certainly a scary start to the year at Mesmer High School.
Today we learned four students were robbed after classes let out Friday afternoon.
It all happened just blocks away from the private Catholic School near Port Washington and Capitol in Milwaukee.
12 News, Maddie Augustine joining us live there tonight and Maddie the school says the robbers were armed.
right?
Investigators have not said what kind of weapon was used, but police say the thieves got away with items belonging to the students tonight.
Families are on edge.
just days into the start of a new school year.
It's startling.
Unexpected fears and concerns for the Messmer High School community.
Her classmates experience something like this is, you know, it's troubling.
School officials say four students were robbed after school Friday afternoon while walking near Port Washington and Capitol Drive.
It's tragic that those kids had experience that it's tragic that.
This attention has been brought to this neighborhood as well as the school.
In this letter sent to families, the school says the three armed robbers wore masks, but students said one had a rose tattoo on his hand and another on his neck.
Milwaukee police tell 12 news they think the three are around 16 years old.
These kids should be allowed to go to and from in the neighborhood from their school to restaurants or whatever.
I just think that they should be able to do that.
that's what we're trying
to do.
We're trying to make sure that we're doing it effortlessly.
The incident has some families taking
precaution, at least for a little while.
We're picking her up.
Just, you know, we obviously we're we're concerned with her safety.
Will King says two of his sons attend Mesmer.
He says they're having more conversations about safety.
I just try to try to instill in him to be aware of your surroundings.
Be aware of who you surround yourself with
King is calling on the community to step
up.
We can solve these problems as a
And Maddie, we're also hearing from school officials tonight.
Right, Blake, in a statement, Mesmer High School says their students' safety and well-being is their top priority, and they say that school counselors are on hand to help any students who need to talk.
Police say if you know anything, call Crime Stoppers.
That number is 414-224-TIPS.
Certainly a very terrifying way to start the school year, Maddie
right and Let's see RC creation muse on our YouTube page said not surprised at all fearless What have we done to make criminals fear doing crimes?
No death penalties.
No beatings just time.
We will give you more time if you commit a crime, you know and
That is, uh, yeah, that kind of goes to where, uh, Alderman Bob Bowman was talking about,
Don't touch that dial.
Truth in the morning will be right back on one oh one seven the truth the truth app and streaming live on one oh one seven the truth on YouTube.

Welcome, Black.
Truth in the morning on the award winning one on one seven truth We got some truth going on in the YouTube chat, but we want to go to this Alderman Bob Bowman as it relates to this water street stuff
Are you sure?
Street once again under scrutiny after another business closes for good this weekend.
Alderman is blaming police for the issues.
Christina van Zels is here with the new video that shows the chaos he's talking about.
Yeah, Kim police say that the fight that's captured on that video happened just before 2 AM Sunday, which is around bar closed time.
Two people were arrested, but a Milwaukee Alderman says police aren't doing enough.
Melanie Paulson was heading to Ian's Pizza just before 2 a.m.
Sunday when she came across people fighting in the middle of Juno Street.
Six police maybe came and were trying to, you know, break it up and stuff.
What sounds like a taser and at least two people in cuffs Milwaukee police say two people were arrested and issued citations one for disorderly conduct and the other for battery.
Kind of sucks now to go out.
You know it's not safe anymore and makes going out not fun.
Alderman
Bob Bowman who represents Water Street says there's no accountability from police and says it's gotten out of control.
Police apparently make the decision to just try to be around and serve as a deterrent.
rather than actually enforcing the law.
Bauman says the issues primarily involve underage people who loiter and hang out on the block.
Paulson says she did see police try to move people off the sidewalks.
The heat comes after multiple businesses closed this summer.
Low country, Dukes on Water and Silk Gentlemen's Club.
Bauman says Trinity 3 Irish pubs is also for sale.
Who's going to want to buy that bar?
and try to conduct a new business.
I just recently saw about silk closing and just shows like this is why people don't know how to control themselves or know how to act in public.
We
did request to have the police chief here on our air tonight, but never heard back.
NPD did send back a statement, though, in response to the Alderman's critiques that read, in part, we continue to work and modify operational plans to ensure the safety of everyone, including those who enjoy the downtown entertainment district.
So nothing specific mentioned there in that statement on what police plan to do, but that is the response we got tonight.
Yeah, the Alderman was clear.
He wants more tickets to be basic.
hand it out for loitering.
People have the open containers.
He says that's not happening.
Right, that's his biggest point that he wants to make too is that accountability part of it all and having police actually arrest people so that they have that accountability aspect on water.
So we
see that in the video.
The
officers are there
and they did arrest two people.
They
arrested people.
So people are saying you're in district one.
That's the headquarters.
You're not going to find more police in any, you know, out on the streets like that.
We haven't heard from the mayor.
Right and if you notice the one woman who took that video did also mention how she saw police were trying to remove people from the sidewalks They were eating pizza on the sidewalk and police actually asked them to move so they were trying to get those crowds dispersed from just sitting around So that was an interesting perspective.
Yeah on that fight maybe not the example that Bob Bowman was talking about
because he's
talking about loiterers who are under 21 This it's hard to tell but look like maybe they were in the bars.
This was bar clothes They're all coming out.
So but yeah, that's just a lot of people are yeah
worried about what's happening.
So there we go.
There we
have
look
Okay.
That's my first thing.
The second thing is if people don't know how to act down there, then they need to start arresting them and letting them because see this ticket thing, those same people are going to tear up those tickets and it's going to be whatever.
Okay.
It's just going to be whatever.
So you need to start setting a precedence.
Okay.
So if they're doing something where they can be arrested.
Like they were doing the fighting and all that then arrest them Okay, and the other people you know You need to start letting them know that you are going to do something and that something is going to happen And probably not just going to be a ticket so you might want to keep it pushing They have to understand that their
behaviors are not going to be accepted,
And.
Again, even if and because Sherwin Hughes, the truth was Sherwin Hughes, which will be up next, he broke down the fact that a lot of these bars were already trying to sell their businesses some for up to a year ago.
Yeah.
And they just hadn't found a buyer, but now add in to all of the trouble that has been going on downtown.
The shootings that have been going on downtown.
That is not.
attractive to anybody who is looking to buy a bar or a restaurant on Water Street or in our downtown area as a whole.
So therein lies where you're trying to have a city that's trying to attract some of the major things.
And if you got some of the things that and some of these establishments are.
on websites for being a place to visit, a bar to go to,
This has been going on and downtown Milwaukee for years since I've been here.
There's been a somewhat, there's been a problem at one point or another.
You know what I mean?
But it hasn't been where a lot of people are getting killed outside the bars.
And that's what you got right now.
Before it was mostly maintained on the East side, right?
On the East perimeter of the color change.
I'm not afraid to say
our
They just
Up next, the award-winning truth with Sherwin Hughes from 9 to noon.
Of course, followed up by the lunch break.
Ray Nitty is black from Poland along with baby Shannon from noon to 2.
And then followed up by the great Vine 2 to 4, currently held down by Ray Nitty doing overtime.

Talk to you tomorrow morning.
Hall of Black.
Peace.
Thank you Xavier for a great job.
