James Nowak: How to Help the Wife of the Milwaukee Police Officer

Friends, family, and colleagues are in shock as they mourn the death of Milwaukee Police Officer James Nowak, and they have rallied around his wife, Julie. You can help Officer Nowak's family by contributing to a GoFundMe page here. Nowak, who was the partner of slain Milwaukee Police Officer Peter Jerving, died of injuries he sustained in a crash with a semi-truck in Oak Creek on Sunday, December 3, 2023, according to posts from loved ones. James Nowak was Officer Jerving's partner for four years, and his wife previously told CBS58 they were like family. Jordyn Smokovich, who organized the GoFundMe page, wrote: "As many of us know him as the happiest-go-lucky guy, James 'Jimmy' Nowak, was involved in a fatal car accident on the evening of December 3rd 2023. Jimmy was a loving husband, son, brother, brother in-law, grandson, nephew, and uncle. Jimmy served as a police officer for the Milwaukee Police Department for almost 10 years. Jimmy had many friends and was always the life of the party. He could put a smile on anyone’s face at any given time. Jimmy truly had the biggest heart and laugh. Jimmy is one soul everyone will deeply miss. Julia, Jimmy’s wife, would never ask anyone for help but has always been the most giving person. Julia has helped countless family, friends, and strangers. Julia has never asked for anything in return or expected it. Any donations would help Julia and family in this tragic time with accumulating medical bills, funeral costs, and loss of income." Tributes flowed on social media for James Nowak. "There are no words to describe the utter loss this world has suffered and the unimaginable pain Julie will be in," a friend wrote. "I hope you and Pete are catching up and making sure your family...and Julia are ok here. If you can, please give to this GoFundMe and Julia has always been the most giving person in the history of the world without a mean bone in body." In a press release, Oak Creek police wrote that they responded to a “report of a car versus semi-truck crash in the 6600 block of S. Pennsylvania Ave” on Dec. 3, 2023, at 10:31 p.m. Upon arrival, they located a 30-year-old male driver in the car who sustained what were described at that time as serious, life-threatening injuries. That driver was Jimmy Nowak. He was extricated from the vehicle and transported to Froedtert Hospital. He was the only occupant in the car. The driver and passenger of the semi-truck were not injured, remained on scene and cooperated with investigators. Oak Creek police wrote that the circumstances surrounding the crash are under investigation and anyone who witnessed it is urged to contact Detective Ben Lockwood at 414-766-7627.

John Turscak Stabbed Derek Chauvin 22 Times on Black Friday, Prosecutors Say [READ COMPLAINT]

Image
A federal prisoner was charged on Friday with attempted murder in the brutal prison stabbing of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd. Prosecutors say John Turscak, 52, stabbed Chauvin 22 times in the law library at the Tucson Federal Correctional Institution in Arizona with an improvised knife. Turscak was charged with attempted murder, assault with the intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault resulting in bodily injury. Turscak told correctional officers that he would have killed Chauvin had they not responded so quickly. Officers used pepper spray to subdue Turscak. Turscak would later tell FBI agents that he attacked Chauvin on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, because it ws was symbolic with the Black Lives Matter movement and the “Black Hand” symbol associated with the Mexican mafia gang, the complaint says. Turscak told the agents that he had been thinking about attacking Chauvin f

UW-Milwaukee Protesters BAN Cops From Campus Lawn Owned by Taxpayers

UW-Milwaukee's pro-Palestinian protesters have erected a sign outside their fenced-in encampment on a prominent campus lawn that declares that police are not allowed on the state taxpayer-owned property. They are now calling it the "Falasteen Lawn," which means Palestine Lawn. "Free Palestine.  No cops allowed," the sign declared on May 6. [caption id="attachment_205459" align="alignnone" width="2048"] The sign at the UW-Milwaukee encampment.[/caption] And yet the inaction from city, state and campus officials continued Monday as the protesters get bolder and finals week approaches (how nice of them to create "focus hours" for student studying in between the press conference and speakers!). First, the protesters started camping on a prominent patch of campus lawn in front of a prominent building. Then, they erected a makeshift wall around it, and placed security-vest-wearing guards at the entrances. Then, they

The Coast Guard Academy’s Newest DEI Push

Image
By Michael R. Shevock DEI is a bad idea. It is divisive, racist, and anti-meritocratic. Coleman Hughes , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Elon Musk , and a host of other first-rate minds have vigorously come out against it.  Yet, our Coast Guard leadership continues to promote it without discussion or debate. For an objective observer, that should be the first clue that something is very, very wrong. Supporters of this ideology are fond of the term ‘cultural competence,’ which they seem to believe is obtainable in a seminar or a classroom, but there are other paths to knowledge. For example, I enjoyed twenty-eight years in federal law enforcement, which, among other things, afforded me familiarity with the inside of a crack-house. Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr
