Nation IN BRIEF : WISCONSIN : 300 Show Support for Milwaukee Police

Approximately 300 people marched outside City Hall in Milwaukee to show support for the police department amid allegations that officers may have been able to stop Jeffrey L. Dahmer’s alleged killing spree two months earlier. The rally was organized by officers and their families to counter a series of demonstrations by outraged residents. Demonstrators said the police should not be blamed for Dahmer’s alleged actions. It was disclosed last week that three officers on May 27 left a naked Laotian boy in Dahmer’s apartment even though neighbors pleaded the boy needed help.
