Response from Milwaukee Police Association

 Another Milwaukee police officer injured. Another family receiving the call every police family fears,  said president Alex Ayala in a statement on Facebook Thursday.

 Yesterday, a fleeing suspect tried to take an officer's gun, then grabbed a firearm magazine from the officer's vest and repeatedly beat him with it, causing serious injuries.

 We should all be outraged. Here's something else to be outraged about.

 Just last year, in 2025, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Wall - who presides over felony court - stayed this suspect's sentence of five years in prison followed by five years of extended supervision. Now, an officer is recovering from a brutal attack this same man was arrested for.

 Our officer and his family deserve more than sympathy. They deserve answers. So does this community. Why was that prison sentence stayed, and how was public safety served by that decision?

 Our officers accept the risks of this profession. That does not mean this community should accept violence against them as simply part of the job. No officer should have to be beaten while trying to protect the public from dangerous behavior.

 The Milwaukee Police Association calls on elected officials, neighborhood leaders and residents to condemn this violence clearly and publicly. Reinforce that fleeing, fighting and trying to disarm a police officer can have devastating consequences. Demand that those who commit these attacks be held accountable.

 Every resident deserves a safe neighborhood. The officers working to provide that safety deserve a community that stands with them when they are attacked. They deserve a justice system that stands with them.

 Our officer should be recovering from a day's work, not from a violent attack. We are outraged that he and his family are paying the price for someone else's decision to fight the police. Milwaukee cannot allow the next injured officer to become just another headline.
