  Sometimes a bicycle rider can escape a chasing car, but only by going where the car can't go – not by outrunning it. A worried 15-year-old Wauwatosa boy, despite pedaling frantically, could not outpace a police cruiser when he couldn't get off the beaten tracks of Wauwatosa Village. It didn't keep him from trying, though. He persistently refused to give up on his getaway ride even as the officer drove for blocks alongside him, at a modest speed, imploring him to just stop. The episode began at 1:35 a.m. Nov. 21 when a patrol officer saw three youths riding bikes unsafely and long past curfew down the middle of North 68th Street near Cedar Street. They looked underage, so when they turned onto Terrace Court, he followed, spotlighted them …

And yet another story about "chasing off" a bad guy. Wise up, people. Unlike Milwaukee, when you call the Tosa police they will show up with a quickness. Don't let the bad guy know you are there, get on the phone and call it in. Stay on the line with updates to increase the chance that the bad guy will be caught. When they run away they can always come back or victimize you or someone else.   more ›
