ACLU Files Lawsuit Against Milwaukee Police Force

On Wednesday in a new lawsuit, the American Civil Liberties Union claims that the Milwaukee Police Department violated civil rights by performing thousands of illegal stop-and-frisks that specifically targeted minorities for over a decade. In its lawsuit, the ACLU says that between the years of 2007 and 2015, Milwaukee police nearly tripled their traffic and pedestrian stops following the passing of an unlawful 2008 stop-and-frisk policy. Jason Williamson, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU’s Criminal Law Reform Project, said in a press release, "This approach forces tens of thousands to live under suspicion every time they step outside.”
