1. Clear choice.

2. The article does not provide any specific information about Captain Patton’s educational credentials. I assume he has a college degree. I would also expect that if Patton has a college degree, it is a legitimate college degree, unlike the fraudulent college degree that former Chief and current City Administrator John Morrissey claimed.

   Link to KCE article about Morrissey’s fake degree follows.

   1. Link to KCE article about Morrissey’s fake degree:

   2. It is really amazing that Kenosha has a city administrator who was also the Cheif of police who does not have a real degree and the mayor and city councle are ok with it.

   3. I’ve never put too much stock into a college degree. Especially in law enforcement or the transportation industries. Two fields, where there is a ton of book knowledge out there, but in the field, that book knowledge is darn near worthless. A sense of decency, a strong sense of right or wrong, uncomprimising values, the ability to lead and inspire subordinates to do their very best, those are things you can’t teach a policeman or really anyone else. I’ve worked in the transportation industry, and there are situations almost every day that “The book” does not cover, where you have to think on your feet, and make your own judgement calls. Probably the same for the cops too. Having said that, lying about degrees and other qualifications was and is a huge red flag.

      1. I am glad that you wrote that lying about your education is a huge red flag. Morrissey lied about his degree. He was chief and then city administrator. The Mayor and alderman don’t do anything! How can that be? How many honest cops did Morrissey screw over as he used this fake degree to get promoted. Morrissey should be fired for his disgraceful deception. The leaders who don’t care also need to be shown the door.

         1. The other question that should be asked, is how many more lies did he tell that we do not know about yet? I was raised with the idea that a lie is never singular, one lie always leads to two lies, and so on. I also agree that it is sheer negligence that the mayor and aldermen turn a blind eye. I say vote ’em all out.

3. Captain Patton is an educated, compassionate and demonstrated leader. The PFC has made a clear decision wanting younger leadership and change. As a younger Chief, Patton has many years remaining with the department and will be committed to implementing change and seeing it through. Unlike the last two “Chiefs” who filled a position waiting to retire—both scared or not intelligent enough to make any type of change. I hope to see significant change for our city with Patton in charge. Finally REAL LEADERSHIP this department needs. Send Larsen and his team of amoebas packing early!

4. Congrats Chief Patton, Change are city. Hold the bad cops accountable, Reward the good ones. We stand with you!! Stick to your morals and What you sworn to do as a
   marine and as a police chief. We NEED CHANGE …… WE need LEDERSHIP !!!!
   HONOR /COURAGE/COMMINTMENT!!!!!!!!!

5. KENOSHA NEEDS:
   Police back in the street talking with residents get back to the days when the Neiborhood officer was known, I see some of these officers at the gas station getting their coffee, you say good Morning to them and they act like you are a pesant , others are super awesome. They forget that they are doing a job and not above anyone. a few bad ones ruin it for all the good ones!!
   let’s get back to that, let’s get back to good police community involvement, Let’s get back to good police and resident join together and take back are city. We are the voice you are the hand. we can do this we just need a good leader; I think we have that in the new chief ……. like trump says ” let’s make this Great again “

6. Kenosha pigs are more subhuman than most. Pure trash.
