Did you know? In 1991 officer John Balcerzak was fired after handing 14 year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone back to the man he had just escaped from despite two bystanders begging the officer not to. Later that night, Konerak was tortured and killed by that same man - Jeffrey Dahmer. https://twitter.com/milwaukeepolice/status/875458418907074560">https://twitter.com/milwaukee...
He never checked Dahmer’s record, which stated that he was convicted for abusing Konerak’s brother. He appealed his firing three years later and the court ruled in his favor. He was later promoted to president of the Milwaukee Police Association, and retired with pension in 2017.
Cute tweet, though.
This was Konerak Sinthasomphone. He would be turning 44 years old in December. He and his family believed that his brother’s abuser was in jail, but instead they were abandoned by the police and justice system at every possible turn.
John Balcerzak doesn’t deserve a day of rest.
