UPDATE: .

Oak Creek police will release dash cam footage taken during the response to the Aug. 5 Sikh temple shootings at a 2 p.m. news conference Monday.

Those who have seen the video say it's incredible footage that will only heighten the respect for the first responders on that day.

Grow up. We won't forget either. That those of you who had a little bit, held tightfisted to it likeRead More a four year old unwilling to share his toy truck. That you endorsed and supported a man who has gone on to undermine this state, its jobs, its infrastructure, its education system, its people, its very foundation. You remember...it was you who did this.
