Law Enforcement Groups Warn Wisconsin Governor Against Making ‘Premature’ Kenosha Statements

The leaders of several Wisconsin law enforcement groups have sent a letter to the state’s most senior Democratic elected officials asking them to refrain from continuing to make premature public statements about the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last Sunday. 

In the letter, which was addressed to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, the law enforcement groups accused them of making “premature, judgmental, and inflammatory” statements, which “only add to the anger and divisiveness of an already dangerous situation,” as reported by news outlet WFRV.
