Last week, a group of citizens submitted documentation of what they believe is proof that the Milwaukee Police Department cost taxpayers over $14 million through misconduct over the past decade. The misconduct that MPD has been accused of, found by the coalition, indicated the problems were primarily along two lines: using excessive force and racial profiling. These claims,
combined with other complaints of alleged misconduct, have been reported to the U.S. Department of Justice after consulting citizens on whether an investigation should be conducted on MPD, in part because of the fallout following the death of Derek Williams in July 2011. The coalition of residents used Legistar, a record keeping system online used by the City of Milwaukee, to put together citizen complaints and lawsuits.
