MUCH RESPECT

scariest part? Brookfield Police & "City Prosecutor's" complete lack of respect and understanding for Wisconsin law.

act of journalism rating? 8/10.

the good stuff:
> the Milwaukee Bike cop was great.
> how they handled the the "recorded call" with the Brookfield cops, although it seems they couldn't legally use the actual audio, good job.
> the fact that Frings actually followed through on actually taping this stuff commands respect.
> chapeau for disclosing Frings works for MyFox.

the questionable:
> Frings did cross the line with the snowplow incident. I think that's a place where common sense takes over.
> how much of the yelling on the "encounters" is Frings' voice? where does protecting yourself and your rights become egging on an ignorant/distracted/selfish motorist?

> Guess i wanted to see more of an effort to chat with Brookfield officials. for a 5+ minute evergreen piece, i want a little more than "didn't return our calls." (although, THAT would be the folo story... how/why Brookfield thinks it is above state statute.)

Here in Madison, all in all, people are really pretty good. But it only takes one angry/distracted/selfish driver to turn you into a statistic.

please ride safe & pay attention.

Andy Baggot pushes Mike Eaves' buttons.

so, there's a little bit of WHA's production truck in action, then a little bit of action from the media room's post game press conference.
