Watch the Full Special of Milwaukee at a Crossroads
To give voice to and reflect what is happening in Milwaukee, CBS 58 aired a primetime special report ‘Milwaukee at a Crossroads." The one-hour, commercial-free program takes an in depth look at the gun violence and unrest plaguing the Milwaukee inner-city and explores the steps being taken by law enforcement and the community to make positive changes.
The highlight of the special is a candid roundtable discussion with five families – who, prior to this interview, had not met each other - who have lost loved ones through senseless gun violence. They talk about the pain of losing a child to violence, how they coped after their tragedy and how they want local leaders to help the city build a better future for their families.
The special includes interviews from leaders in law enforcement, the court system and government, including Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. Also featured in the special are Reggie Moore, City of Milwaukee Office of Violence Prevention Director, Hon. Chief Judge Maxine White, John Chisholm, Milwaukee County District Attorney, Representative Jim Sensenbrenner and Milwaukee Police Department District 3 Captain Shunta Boston-Smith.
