BREAKING NEWS – Madison, Wisconsin – A debate over funding more policing caused Wisconsin state Sen. LaTonya Johnson to condemn suburban areas of her state, saying they know nothing of city life.
AP reporter Scott Bauer summarized that there had been a specific debate among the lawmakers about “crime in Milwaukee and concerns about it spreading from the city to the suburbs,” which sparked a fiery response from Johnson.
“F— the suburbs, because they don’t know a g–damn thing about how life is in the city,” she proclaimed on the senate floor. “In the black communities, there are all sorts of crime! I have been robbed before at gunpoint and I have robbed a few people using a gun! So I know from firsthand experience, exactly what I’m talking about!”
