As bad as the violence was last night at the Wisconsin State Fair and as inadequate as the police response was in terms of controlling the situation, at least progress has been made since the mob attacks in Riverwest.
Police actually admitted there was a mob this time. There were no denials. There was no confusion about whether there actually was a mob attack.
Progress!
Police Chief Ed Flynn actually admitted at his press conference that people were singled out for attack because of their race. In his statement, he was vague. He didn't say blacks targeted whites, but he did acknowledge the racial element in the violence.
Flynn guaranteed that events in Milwaukee this weekend will be safe.
That's quite a guarantee.
Here's video of Flynn's news conference on the State Fair violence:
