Public presses for answers from FPC
MILWAUKEE -- The NAACP held a hearing in Milwaukee on Friday evening, December 14th to allow the public a chance to offer up solutions to the problems they're seeing with the Fire and Police Commission.
Many who came to Friday's meeting were frustrated and lashed out at the panel consisting of elected officials and the executive director of the Fire and Police Commission, Michael Tobin.
Tobin listened as person after person brought up their issues with the commission, the police department and city leaders.
As the meeting reaches a boiling point, one person tries to take over the meeting using a bullhorn.
"When the hood wakes up, what? Y`all work for us," shouted the person.
Moments later, a fight nearly broke out. However, cooler heads prevailed.
There will be two vacancies on the commission filled soon with appointments by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Barrett has said he has names of people he wants on the board.
