Time to come together again as a country (WI)

LAKE HALLIE — I was standing by the Lake Hallie Municipal Clerk’s Office filling out a work order when a “gentleman” came in to explain his parking ticket concern to Lake Hallie Police Chief Cal Smokowicz ...

The man was fast losing his case and I believe he knew it. His next remark was, “Do you have black cops on the police department?” Chief Smokowicz replied that yes, there were, but what had that to do with anything? The man then replied, “Well, my bike has a Confederate flag on it and I may have been targeted.”

Chief Smokowicz replied in words to the effect of, “That is the most insulting thing I have heard in quite a while.” That pretty much ended the discussion ...

... Sorry you picked the wrong side during a war that has been over for 151 years and was not even being fought when you were born. Get over it ... By the way, keep your race baiting to yourself ...
