Three male suspects punched a victim, in what the victim believed to be an attempted robbery at 8 p.m. Sunday, according to a SAFE-U alert. The incident occurred near the intersection of 13th Avenue Southeast and University Avenue Southeast.
The alert said the three male suspects with limited physical descriptions got out of an older model gray car with tinted windows. The victim was able to fight back and escaped the suspects.
Community and campus members are advised to use caution.

The videos are real! I already told you I never voted for Trump and I certainly don’t support him. I’m wondering why you have the need to continue assigning false attributes to me. Go check out my music on YouTube and let me know if you dig it.

First it was Parler, now you have fake claims of some videos, go pound sand wingnut, all of the disease-spreading, neo-fascist, Trump-supporting scum are doomed, which is what REALLY helps make for a Happy Thanksgiving!
And Vladonald Trumpski is vulnerable to multiple felony indictments as of January 21, 2020, along with the rape case proceeding as filed by journalist E. Jean Carroll, and the defamation suit filed by Summer Servos, both of which have survived Trump’s legal challenges. Of far more consequence that a “skin color” descriptor in this or that suspect description, in any event.

There is NO WAY to tell if a moronic racist like you is or is not on Parler — you recommended the website, I countered that it’s a haven for racists and right wing kooks, and only then do you claim it was “just a joke.”
Much like Trump and other right wing crackpots and racists who engage in it and then claim “was only a joke!”

Libertarians are the biggest idiots around, wingnut.
Your idiocy extends to claiming that I say “we shouldn’t try to catch thieves,” and your sever mental illnesses extended to actually posting what looks like almost word salad/fantasy material.
People disagree with me all the time, but that’s not the same thing as you banging on about your racist demands, is it?

And you fell for it hook, line, and sinker! I’m not on Parler, I was just messing with you because you don’t seem to listen to anything I say and just keep using your othering words so you can hate me just because I think differently than you. Like I mentioned earlier, I have never voted for Trump. I’m a libertarian, not an idiot. But, you’ll just keep name calling and arrogantly misprespcribing my personality because your ego is so huge you can’t deal with people who don’t agree with you so can’t stop lashing out instead of listening. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving and think about how bad you would feel if one of the thieves you say we shouldn’t try to catch takes all that nice stuff away.

That’s one of the most borderline psychotic FANTASIES illogically transposed from my general disdain for “specific racial descriptors” anyone could imagine — really sick stuff. Of course I would report every last detail about the perps you sick, disgusting piece of filth.
And of COURSE your sick fantasy material leads to one of the latest versions of right wing extremist kook platforms, Parler! Because Facebook etc. banned a bunch of the right wing racist drivel and the scumbags moved to Parler.
ROTFLMAO You people are amazing, one of the many things I will be thankful for this Thanksgiving (beautiful girlfriend, luxury apt., great Thinline Telecaster, near El Diablo for setups and modson my guitars, Roland Juno-DS88 and other cool keyboard synths, rent capped at 30%, excellent health, Trump soundly defeated) is that I am not a right wing kook like you.

Your inaccurate descriptions abound. Rather, I am a law and order loving person of color who grew up in the ghetto and know that you have to get these criminals off the street. Then there’s no need for your so-called “racial profiling” because only a handful of punks commit most of the crime. Let’s do a thought experiment where your girlfriend gets car jacked and the perps find that she is very compliant and mentions you both would never release descriptions of them. They force her back to your apartment and instead of calling the police you live your lie and remain silent. They tie you up and force you to watch what ensues. Because neither of you provide a detailed description the perps walk free whilst your girlfriend is now pregnant and filled with STDs. She gives birth, but dies due to complications of AIDs leading you to raise a bastard child on your own. You try to date black women, but they dump you because they can’t stand your white knighting every situation and tolerance of crime. You are also ridiculed for trying to straighten the child’s hair leading to further resentment of the child and the you being labeled a racist. After you are caught abusing the bastard you are sent to prison and all three of the men who attacked your girlfriend are there and they give you the same treatment they gave your girlfriend until your colon explodes from the daily abuse sending billions of bacteria into your blood stream. You die a painful, fever-laden death asking to finally give a proper description of your attackers! If you like this content please visit me on Parler @TheBlankenhorn

It STILL functions as a cherry-picked example irrespective of whether it happened to you or someone else, “detailed descriptions” are not always possible and are sometimes MISTAKEN, and your inane whining about wanting skin color included irrespective of how useless it may be marks you out as a racist.
The term “racist” is not “name-calling” simpliciter, it’s a fair and accurate description of people like you, capiche?
The Wauwatosa shooter was described as a “male in his 20s and 30s,” turned out he was 15. This is becoming repetitive and you as a practicing racist rabble rouser should just head baczk to Infowars or Breitbart News or Stormfront where you can incite racial animus to your heart’s content to an appreciative audience of racist idiots.

You really can’t stop yourself from labeling others, can you? It’s not a cherry-picked example it’s something that actually happened to me so it should be called an anecdote. One anecdote isn’t a comprehensive analysis, but how many of these crimes could we catch the criminal or even avoid the crime altogether with detailed descriptions. Try to answer without inaccurate name calling.
Richard Turnbull
Nov 24, 2020 at 12:38 am
Wow, so you actually think public policy can be reasonably based on one cherry-picked example, really? And OF COURSE there are indeed situations where skin color is relevant in a suspect description, it’s a case-by-case analysis!
It does not follow logically from ONE case that it is useful in ALL cases, but RACISTS like you are bound and determined to inject skin color into this at all costs, of course.
A Gopher
Nov 23, 2020 at 3:10 pm
And you’re back to name calling, I thought you were getting better, but no. Let’s give you a real life example. I witnessed a man beating a woman in Moos Tower. I called it in and gave very detailed description, which was used to apprehend one Marquise Powe. The case even went to trial and I served as a witness. This is all public information so you can look it up. Without a detailed description the attacker could’ve gone free. So there you have it, a real-life example of what could be accomplished if we gave out detailed descriptions of the perps.
Richard Turnbull
Nov 21, 2020 at 3:19 am
No, this isn’t a “mathematical” argument, it’s an argument about the net effects of adding a skin color criterion to the limited list of criteria the alleged victim provided to LE which they passed on to the Daily. You blatantly cast that solely as a matter of “eliminating suspects” (slimming down possible perps) while entirely ignoring the unavoidable reverse side of it: stigmatizing a larger group, most of whom decry the crime and and of course have NOTHING to do with it. Moreover, you also show a faulty comprehension of the crime by assuming someone was “targeted,” when it may well have been a random crime of opportunity: victim was attacked because they were there, had someone else been there similarly situtated with a vehicle, or blabbing in a cell phone while paying little attention to surroundings, etc., they would have been the victim.
So far you have proved yourself to be a vicious, woman-hating racist idiot deeply confused about basic concepts related to apprehending criminals and the meaning of basic concepts like “censorship”, so it’s unnecessary for me to keep drawing attention to that in every reply, as anyone carefully reading this thread will see you attack my girlfriend, seek to stir up racial animus, and misconstrue the basic controversies over and over again. Just calm down, Trump’s neo-fascist coup is imploding, he faces multiple felony indictments and probable death in prison once out of office, and you wingnuts will just have to deal with the massive backlash to Trumpism and racism and misogyny, so try not to cry yourself to sleep about it, ok?
A Gopher
Nov 20, 2020 at 7:54 pm
I already gave an example of how a reasonably detailed description slims down the perp list, I’m sorry I don’t know how to simplify the math any further. You still haven’t answered my question regarding: why should student fees and financial support go to a reporting agency that doesn’t provide all the information at their disposal. If that’s the case, why even report the crime or why not give us a description of the victim so we know who is being targeted. You had less name calling that time so I congratulate you on that achievement!

Hey so the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel IS describing the Mayfair Mall shooter as a “white male in his 20s or 30s,” now explain to us why on earth you nitwits think that is helpful? If you are working or traveling around in the metro area right now, are you going to suddenly change your thinking about the possible criminality of everyone ELSE based on that? Of course not. Since Milwaukee is a huge metro area, there are, shockingly enough to the naive dunces you are representing in this comment thread, multiple crime alerts in effect at any one time.
The skin color of the suspects DO NOT HELP LAW ENFORCEMENT OR THE GENERAL COMMUNUITY AT LARGE, lacking far more specificity vis-a-vis height, age, weight, clothing, scars, tattoos, etc. And they don’t have much of that here, the guy is in his “20s or 30s,” oh boy that narrows it down!
Richard Turnbull
Nov 20, 2020 at 6:25 pm
So now it’s time for still more right wing kook cant, including the laughable claim that the Daily is “virtue signaling,” what is that even supposed to mean? Was that what you did in your grotesque, scurrilous, anonymous attack on my brilliant and beautiful girlfriend, wingnut?
And NO, it would not help law enforcement to post any supposed “race” of the suspects here, without a far more granular level of detail it only STIGMATIZES PEOPLE OF THE SAME SKIN COLOR, you clueless mook.
AND OF COURSE black people, “mixed-race” people, or people of any “race, ” can feed into the overarching white supremacist narrative via their claims and comments, NO ONE GETS AN AUTOMATC PASS via their phenotypical traits, you nitwit! I’ll bet you think there are biological races based on skin color, too, that would go along with your other gibberish.
YOU HAVE NO “FACT-BASED ARGUMENTS,” it would be as silly as demanding that if the current suspect descriptions of the Wauwatosa mall shootings have him as a white male, all media outlets included that, when it also helps in no way as that still includes several million people in the Milwaukee area.
A Gopher
Nov 20, 2020 at 11:52 am
Ok so I’m racist against myself I see it’s big brain time. My point is that posting a description devoid of detail is useless and mere virtue signaling. I gave you a concrete example of how a description could limit the pool of potential perpetrators greatly but you seemed to have ignored those facts. Is it so hard to imagine someone commenting on a Big Ten U website would be involved in higher education? Actually, everything I posted is absolutely true, but your only argument against me appears to be repeated name calling and othering me. As to your latest assertions, I am 5’10” and 190 lbs so I would qualify as overweight. Everything else you assert is incorrect, but as you’ve proven thus far facts are of no interest to you and there will no doubt be fresh insults from you with no actual substance. If you can’t win an argument by factual means, only name calling, I now begin to see why you’re underemployed or possibly unemployed in your profession as you do not even attempt to refute my fact-based arguments and instead prepare more baseless insults, other than the overweight thing, which has been difficult with COVID and distance learning for two children. Perhaps someday you will have the humility and perspective to admit your foibles and insecurities instead of attacking and othering your “enemies.”
Richard Turnbull
Nov 20, 2020 at 11:39 am
Yeah, reviewing this from the jump: You simply assume this is “censorsip,” no argument or facts supplied.
You then go straight into a woman-hating attack on my girlfriend, who has worked for the last seven years in a battered woman’s shelter in the West metro, how scummy is that?
And you jump in after “Tom” has systematically embarrassed himself with his obvius racism and lack of any cogent arguments, to “defend” him, assuming you aren’t just two sock puppet accounts for the same dweeb!
Finally, I have seen posts from you on other articles with similar tripe, so my conclusions stand: there’s no reason at all to mention “skin color” in these descriptions unless it might really help the community at large help law enforcement apprehend the correct perps, something you care nothing about in your relentless quest to stir up racial animus, in this case vi support for “Tom” and his flailing attempts to to it more openly.
Richard Turnbull
Nov 20, 2020 at 11:39 am
Look, your sociologically defined “race” doesn’t mean in this discussion you haven’t functioned as a racist, is that clear?
You made NO logical objections or in fact any kind of logical challenges at all to my points about the lack of a “racial description,” and online ANYONE can claim to be an astronaut with a PhD in Nuclear Physics, so much for you fake resume etc.
And your bullshiite about a Glock, come on, you’re probably some wimpy, overweight racist dunce who wastes his time whining about the Daily’s refusal to post incomplete descriptions of suspects because you are a racist idiot, irrespective of how YOU happen to identify.
A Gopher
Nov 20, 2020 at 11:38 am
Oh boy, let’s take this line by line. You say I’m racist for saying that reporting the facts is the job of a reporting agency. For one, I’m biracial and your assumption that asking for facts means I’m white proves you out to be the presupposing bigot in this conversation. Looking at the police scanner pages we can get an example of a useful description: WM, 40’s, long stringy dark hair, jean jacket, white shoes, drives a late mode Buick Lesabre. Great so WMs are 35% of the population =0.35, with long stringy dark hair =0.05, jean jacket=0.01, white shoes =0.25, drives a Lesabre = 0.02. Thus, you get 0.000000875 of the population matches this description X the number of people in SE Minneapolis, say 40,000, that would be 0.000000875 X 40,000 = 3.5. So we’ve taken the number of potential perpetrators from 40,000 to 3.5, that’s an amazing tool!
Next, I’m not a right winger. Incel? I’m in an interracial marriage with two children that I am the biological father of. I’m also an award winning scholar who owns his own house, two newerish cars and a healthy retirement account so we can strike loser off the list. Also I don’t think there was voter fraud so you’re now 0 for 4 with your assumptions about me. I’m also a 4th degree black belt in Kali so I’m not sure the in-person repercussions would be so bad for me, plus I carry a Glock in case it ever came to that so good luck. I think you should examine how unhinged and volatile you become and how many assumptions and othering you attempt with simple logical challenges to your argument. Perhaps it’s the stress of the pandemic or the fact that attorneys are reaching all-time levels of underemployment, whatever it is I think you need to consider why you are incapable of having a structured, cogent discussion with all the baggage you’re bringing and all the projection you’re putting on us when it’s really you whom is being described.
Richard Turnbull
Nov 18, 2020 at 6:32 am
No, the “original comment” produced your inane racism and now inanely ludicrous projections about my girlfriend which obviously reflect your pathetic life as a right wing incel twerp.
The “reporting agencies” have to balance the need to inform the community about threats from violent criminals of whom there are sufficiently precise, definite descriptions with the dangers posed by publishing vague data that just tells us something like “two young white males in their teens were interrupted as they tried to steal a vehicle in Dinkytown,” since there are literally hundreds of young men that could encompass, and the (sociologically-defined) race is in any case irrelevant.
But racist scum like you not only lie relentlessly about the bizarre claim that “whites don’t commit violent crimes around here,” you don’t care AT ALL about stigmatizing a group of people with some vague “racial” description. You’re a pathetic loser just like the disease-spreading Trump cultists whining about imaginary “vote fraud.”
Btw in real life insults like that to my face would provoke entirely legal repercussions you would find permanently disfiguring, assuming that’s even possible.
A Gopher
Nov 17, 2020 at 4:58 pm
You’ve really gotten far afield from the original comment: Do reporting agencies have a duty to report all the information they have available or should they be censoring it for PC reasons? You don’t seem to be able to form a cogent thought about that simple question, I’m guessing you’re not very popular at dinner parties with your “girlfriend,” which I’m wondering if that means a life-sized, very-sticky, waifu pillow?
Richard Turnbull
Nov 17, 2020 at 5:20 am
Yeah, we BOTH enjoy looking at comment threads like this from time to time, and especially on thehill.com, and she’s even more progressive than I am on some topics, has worked in a battered women’s shelter in the West metro for the last seven years. Friend of hers gave a a gift subscription to the Star-Tribune and she was surprised to see the right wing racist kooks of your slimy ilk on there, I told here I used to read some of those, many don’t live anywhere NEAR Minneapolis yet blather on much like you have about things they know NOTHING ABOUT, etc.
Also since she grew up around here, attended Marshall-University High before it became the UTECH Center and now the apt bldg with the Target Express and other retail outlets, she ALSO observed “white people” committing crimes in and around the campus, so she has direct understanding that you are a racist liar, “Tom.”
Let’s be clear, shall we? You right wing racist lunatic fringe crackpots are currently disease-spreading, self-destructive, lying BUFFOONS, dangerous in some senses but merely suited to be the butt of jokes in most others.
So people posting online have relationships, and that also comes as a stunning shock to pathetic incels, of course. Couples share very progressive politics and laugh at wingnuts while working to remove them from the public square, another shocker.

As I said before I moved down across form Aveda Institute in May to luxury apartment, I directly WITNESSED a few totally pointless drunken assaults in Dinkytown, outside Valli Pizza ( now Blarney Pub & Grill) and nearby! Only “white people” involved, wingnut!

Yes, those results come up because when the suspects are white their race is reported publicly.
But black people are special apparently. Even though black males make up 12% of the population but commit 52% of violent crimes and homicides in this country.

What “facts” do you expect? Witnesses are routinely unable to react with cogent, accurate descriptions in cases where they have been violently attacked, in the pandemic many people are wearing masks as they should be doing, and even if there was slightly more “information” the danger of lumping together in one allegedly monolithic mass groups of tens and even hundreds of of thousands of people in an age group, or by skin color, outweighs the value of posting the info.
In my evidence course in law school I studied some cases, and the Fedral Rules of Evidence, illustrating the judicial norm of excluding evidence whose probative value was outweighed by the tendency to produce bias and prejudice the proceeding as a whole. Thank about that.
Rule 403. Excluding Relevant Evidence for Prejudice, Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons
Primary tabs
The court may exclude relevant evidence if its probative value is substantially outweighed by a danger of one or more of the following: unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the jury, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.
You can amuse yourself by “right wing whites are arrested by the FBI” if you bored, though. Those search terms will bring up thousands of results. Happy now?
