Massive riot breaks out in Milwaukee's Sherman Park Black area as Collective Coffee expands to Chicago

Eric Ericson
   A massive riot broke out in Milwaukee last night and local authorities say the melee that occurred in Sherman park was planned by the Thuggish element that lives surrounding Milwaukee's fine downtown. Black punks in Sherman par battled police for hours in Milwaukee's worse urban riot since the sixties and which was downplayed by both local and national media. Up to a thousand Black males ran round the Sherman park district breaking store  windows, setting fires, and basically just acting like the low-class urban thugs that they are in an annual summertime tradition in Milwaukee. Milwaukee called out all deputies in the area and local police were quickly dispatched to the area making dozens of arrests of the slowest and most vocal ringleaders of this riot which is sure to repeat several times this summer. A brick broke a window on a Milwaukee County bus and another smashed a window at a BP gas station. One rock thrown by someone in the crowd broke a window on a police squad. Sherman Park and the area around 38th and Burleigh is about the worse of any urban areas you will ever find as there is no development or nice coffee houses or cafes. Mayor Tom Barrett said police are investigating the incident and was confident that police would get to the bottom of it.
   On a lighter note Milwaukee's Collective Coffee had plans for the first time to expand out of Milwaukee and will be opening several locations in the Chicago area. Chicago's Lincoln Park will be the first neighborhood getting this excellent local Milwaukee franchise makers of some of the best dam cup of joe you will ever get. Collective Coffee will roast their beans in Milwaukee and ship it quickly to Chi-town and coffee drinkers in Chicago are looking forward to this addition in an already crowded and awesome coffee areas. Whether  Collective Coffee will ever open up a shop in the Sherman Park area of Milwaukee is doubtful and quite understandable. Collective founder Lincoln Fowler had no comment if plans were ever in the makes of opening up a shop on Burliegh and 38 th street.
