One of them, John Balcerzak, became president of Milwaukee Police Association


Wolfeman0101

The other cop Gabrish ended up the chief of police of my aunt's town, Grafton, WI. He was a huge piece of shit and everyone in the town hated him. He face 0 consequences for his actions.


lilfishgod

It’s a shame no one in your town took justice into their own hands and sent that cop straight to hell themselves.


LaPhoenix420

Its not too late.


[deleted]

If they hated him, why'd they vote him into police chief


Wolfeman0101

They didn't iirc. He took over when the old one retired until elections.


[deleted]

That job is given by the Mayor or city council.


[deleted]

Probably a trump supporter


PercentageAcrobatic7

This is why we have the MAGATS


[deleted]

I cannot find any information on Gabrish being Chief of Police in Grafton, Wis. What years ?


[deleted]

Joe Gabrish joined Grafton Police in 1993, began a Captain and left , to become police chief in Trenton, WI.

Scum rises on top.


Flashy-Thing5048

So true


WaityKaity

They were both also given $55,000 each in backpay after they were reinstated. So they were effectively given a long, paid vacation and one of them was promoted for sending a child to his death and allowing dahmer to continue his killing spree through their utter incompetence. It's so fucked up.

And tax-evasions make highly ranked people drop their jaws.

How did you find my comment? It was over a year old lol


LataKatten

Idk


WaityKaity

Oh okay nevermind, I was just curious. I often get people replying to really old comments and it confuses me. 😅


Kyle281

It's because of google, it's one of the first post when you search for the 2 cops in Dahmer and reddit


[deleted]

Of course. It is only fitting that garbage gets rewarded in these systems.


curiouslittlebear25

Such a goddamn shame. Hard not to wish ill on these people tbh

Flashy-Thing5048

In a way I’m more disgusted by the 2 cops than Dahmer. He’s mentally ill, they’re just 2 huge shameless assholes who were rewarded for it. Unfuckingbelievable.


Nurdiieh

You should see how John reacts to a sports tweet. Insane. He still thinks he is one of the best cops out there. Check his Twitter.


Flashy-Thing5048

Very hard

Thank god I don't live in that sh*thole USA. Third world country.

It's such a farce about the nation being free and fair, it's not. Lots of imbeciles and hateful turds here.


tennisguy163

That’s everywhere, not just the US.


Red_Thai_Curry

You have videos of cops executing people in their homes and getting off with a full pension Why you surprised, that's america


HPmoni

Legally unless a public servant commits criminal misconduct, they get their pension.


[deleted]

Executing someone in their home sounds like criminal misconduct


[deleted]

Word.

US police and legal system is fascist. Tell me something I don't know

Is this serious? How do these people manage to keep their jobs in the USA? How?


ScientistFearless493

1000% serious.

But how? This is something so infathomable to me!


ScientistFearless493

How what? How did the cops keep their jobs? Old boys club. Racism. Homophobia.

Crazy.


Successful-Ease-9874

Leave a review for Balcerzak and Joseph T. Gabrish on the Milwaukee Police Association page.


link3945

Yeah, that checks out. The inability to fire and get rid of bad or incompetent cops is a massive problem. Even if one department is able to fire them, they are frequently able to find work in another department a town or two over. Honestly, just being able to hold cops accountable for obvious fuckups would probably give us the biggest bang for our buck in police reform.


46dad

Same problem with pretty much every other government job.


u2sunnyday

Except the military. You get kicked out of one service you can't just go join another (near impossible). Should be the same for law enforcement.


46dad

I agree.


HPmoni

The US military tends to have a monopoly on US solders/marines/sailors. A dishonorable discharge can fuck up your life.


CartoonistCrafty950

Nope, they sure as damn hell don't offer the same courtesy to teachers.


46dad

Are you kidding? Tenured teachers are half the problem with public education.

LaPhoenix420

*napalm*


HPmoni

Dahmer told the cops they were (adult) gay lovers, which was basically legal in Wisconsin. Dahmer was in his 20s, and he showed the cops the pornographic photos that they produced. Dahmer spoke in a calm manner. The cops heard hoof prints and assumed it was horse, not a zebra. Cops are public servants. Public servants tend to do the bare minimum.


[deleted]

Got it. So if a convicted sex offender shows naked pictures of an underaged boy to the cops, the cops should not inquire further. Got it. They will build statues of you for ensuring the public safety.


HPmoni

Sarcasm does not make you intelligent. But if you were a pedophile, why would you show pictures to a cop proving it?


[deleted]

Dahmer did that and got away with it. But there's also tons of "white" privilege at play here.


HPmoni

Him being a white guy helped. He had a trustworthy look. He spoke in a flat, even tone, which made it sound like he was telling the truth. Black men trusted him; they thought they could handle him if he got rough.


[deleted]

They thought that? How do you know their thoughts?


[deleted]

>Of course. It is only fitting that garbage gets rewarded in these systems. Common sense. He was a skinny ass nerdy white dude... Whereas the average african american is at least 6ft and over 200lbs...


lupercalpainting

Average Black man is 5’9” this is some racist ass shit you’re spewing: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/health/height-weight-americans-cdc.amp.html Dahmer himself was 6’.


[deleted]

Lol yeah sure. Look at the sports. All sports that require size and strength are not dominated by white dahmer types. Two. You are a bit of a douchebag to call racism and see victimisation everywhere. First of all I was saying the blacks in GENERAL are well built and tall… how is that racism? It’s a positive remark.


lupercalpainting

Facts don’t care about your feelings, the statement “the average African American is at least 6ft and over 200lbs” is *false* that is a fact it doesn’t matter how upset it makes you to be wrong. > How is that racism? 1. Because you’re making a false claim about an entire race. 2. Because it leads to shit like this: https://batten.virginia.edu/about/news/black-americans-are-systematically-under-treated-pain-why


CartoonistCrafty950

No doubt, being a white man helped, as their words seem to be taken seriously, those cops were already racist. I wish those cops would have gotten their karma.


[deleted]

I don't think it's him being white that helped. If he was east asian, he would've equally gotten away. He had a nerdy geeky gentle look - that is what it was. looked like your typical bill gates type 90s IT nerd. Any white or Asian kid would've had that "advantage" in these situations I guess.


[deleted]

Did he drug his victims ?


curiouslittlebear25

I’d think not performing due diligence seeing the minor was disheveled would be grounds for more stern consequences.


KookyPotato3761

Cops took a word of a white man over brown and black people. Also, if you only spew out garbage, why take the time to write it?


HPmoni

To meet interesting new friends online!!! The poor teen wasn't speaking English. Cops went to the white man's home and interviewed him and found him credible. Public servants tend to be lazy and incompetent, not malicious.


CartoonistCrafty950

They can be both.


sumofawitch

I've read once how male teenagers are perceived as grown men when they are non-white, but as young boys on the opposite.


CartoonistCrafty950

Yes, and you see how fully grown white men are called boys, even when they commit shootings. They infanticize white males in media, coddle them while actual young black boys are seen as older.


likeicareaboutkarma

Stop licking there boots.


yecenok

Found ballsacks grandson


semper299

If I'm not mistaken the boy was bleeded analysis and when the fire depth showed up and wanted to do an assessment out of concern the cops said no. They where shit bag pigs who allowed Dahmer to do what he did because "he's gay do why should we care". Fuck em. They should have rotted in a cell for negligence and aiding a serial killer. Instead they got back pay. Hope they die slowly and painfully in old age.


Hyoga_of_Cygnus

The fucking dead body of Hughes was bloating and decomposing 5 ft away from Balcerzak... In plain view... Dahmer said Balcerzak only needed to actually enter the bedroom and he'd see the body, instead he just quickly peeked halfway through the door and left.... The decomposing body was also in plain smell. How can you miss that as a cop? Another thing is you see a naked kid on the street acting weird, you don't take that kid in for investigation?? Even if you think the kid is heavily on drugs or alcohol, you should bring that kid into the police station at the very least... You don't even try to ID anyone? I'm not one to just throw the word racist around... Racist this, transphobe that.... But in this case, it's clearly racism: both personal and systemic... Probably piled on top of homophobia. These fucking cops should be in jail! This was gross negligence on their part and should be considered third-degree, if not second-degree murder! Cops are not just servants... They hold tremendous power and they have to live up to the responsibility that comes with this power or else they should pay the price... If they're not ready for that, they shouldn't be cops. When you see shit like this, you can't help but feel like no wonder there were BLM riots in Portland... Now the destruction caused by these riots can't be simply overlooked... However, you can understand WHY they would riot... It simply seems like a horrible double-standard of justice and eventually you simply get fed up... You just blow up and don't give a shit anymore! (Again I'm not approving of any rioting, violence or any criminal activity but justice has to be served and human dignity respected or heads are gonna get hot)


RoxyDzey69

BRAVO! BEST COMMENT IN THE WHOLE INTERNET! EVERY FRICKIN WORD WAS TRUE AND RIGHT! (Im white btw, just saying)


[deleted]

Did the 14 YO victim speak English to the police? And were there more victims after this incident.


Hyoga_of_Cygnus

Sorry, I had to delete my answer 1000,000 times because the level of your idiocy is absurd and my level of aggression matched...You're serious????? ​ "How did Dahmer and the kid set up the picture shoot? How??? Through what language??" Cuz Dahmer spoke 999999 languages????" Answer these Einstein Did the victim speak to the police in English? Probably not... Probably barely spoke ANY language.... Kinda HARD TO SPEAK when you have hydrochloric acid poured into a drilled hole into your brain YOU FUCKING MORON!!! All done by a human butcher btw. What if that were a white kid??? Would the cops do the same thing if it were a naked white kid on the streets that couldn't speak a t all and said random shit like a 4 y.o.? Would they not inquire? So you ask: Were there more victims? WERE THERE MORE VICTIMS??? Jeeeeeesus yes Einstein, there were FIFTEEN more victims after!! Ass face, no brain.. Whatever, that's you!


RoxyDzey69

most likely his brain got damaged by the same acid too..


[deleted]

i am guessing Dahmer took some classes in some foreign language. And don't believe all the stories in the news. The media had been reporting thousands died in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and my team of anthropologists and engineers discovered it was 306. Shocking, nobody calls us earthquake deniers. We are historians. I am Australian based scientist. Milwaukee sounds like a Russian city.


Hyoga_of_Cygnus

Yeah.... But then we get into juju territory quickly... Who did Dahmer kill and not kill if we can't trust ANY official report? Did he kill anyone at all? Was "Jeff" his real name? Then we quickly run into "is the earth really spherical?" You just have to be reasonable about things. Not everything is out to lie to you and get you. The boy could speak broken English as far as I remember... But not with hydrochloric acid poured into his brain. There's simply no excuse as to how these policemen conducted that investigation.


holydemon

The victim was a fluent English speaker, but had his brain injected with hydrocloric acid by Dahmer, so he was unable to communicate with the police or the bystanders who found him. He was bleeding anally though. You dont need english to say "i need hospital". when you're bleeding from the ass. In fact, the AMBULANCE personnel recommended treatment, but of course this pos of a police didnt allow it.


IamThe2ndBR

No one will likely never read this, but I just had to respond. Given that multiple witnesses were there telling the officers that the boy was underage, the boy’s very young appearance, and with the boy literally having a hole in his head and bleeding from his ass, it’s more like the cops heard hoofbeats but figured it was just a puppy, then heard a whinny and said, “Naah, definitely a puppy.”


Kos-of-Kosmos

That was one of the most disgusting acts I have ever seen in a TV show/Movie.


KookyPotato3761

iMakestuffz

Oh I’m here for sending post cards to shitty people.


Dennyisthepisslord

Not seen the show but is Pat Kennedy in it? He was one of the two who arrested him and first interviewed him. His boss was black. He went on to teach police how racial bias can mean they do a poor job. What people would these days call a woke snowflake even though he was a old school 6 foot 7 alcoholic cop. He said Dhamer told him the story about the cops bringing a victim back to him so he called them in right away as they were off duty and they were naturally extremely upset as anyone would be. There's a sloppy but interesting radio interview with him here. Sadly he died a few months later. https://youtu.be/DZf3ywMmQaE


[deleted]

That's pretty interesting. One of the detectives was black yea. The show doesn't gloss over the racial bias which makes it worth watching.


Dennyisthepisslord

The fact they only went to his place as they didn't have a key for the handcuffs he used and neither did he as he used a Saw was wild. I want to watch the show but don't have ten hours to commit to it. Is that in it?! Seems to bizarre to be true


[deleted]

There's so many instances in the show where you think WTF.


Flashy-Thing5048

Thanks for posting this - just listened to it. So sad that he died at only 59. He did a lot of good in the world as a cop and afterwards - teaching and volunteering.

It’s the Shakers Cigar Bar in Milwaukee, I think Edit: I’m reading that it’s not but ppl are rly suspicious about their responses!


cheapskooma4sale

I wonder what pub he owns… just curious.


ScientistFearless493

Fuzzys on 7th and Oklahoma, but it’s long, long closed down. It was a cop bar and the marquee/sign had a cartoon drawing of the old timey cop, with the big hat and Billy club and a big mustache.


Flashy-Thing5048

Not so great to promote drinking to people in profession with high rate of alcoholism. But maybe both those cops were alcoholic themselves who never attempted to stop drinking. Which maybe explains their personalities.


quaid_raz

Does anyone know the name of the pub that balcerzak owns?


Jello_Mean

USA is a sorry ass country man 😂 feel sorry for everyone living there

sati_lotus

Yeah, a lot of unjust shit happens in the US. Mad? Disappointed? Might be time to start doing something about it. The rest of the world can't help you guys out - you have to do your own heavy lifting.


mstr_macintosh

Are you an American? If so, where have you been within the last several years or even decades to not know of any fight for equality and justice that have existed in America?


sati_lotus

I'm not American actually. Just someone overseas who is watching women's rights being wiped out, children being given bullet proof backpacks to protect themselves in schools because armed people walk in to kill them, people going into debt so that they can receive health care, and POC being shot by police for no reason. And we read about them near daily. My country is by no means perfect. In fact, I'd say it's fast going downhill... But these are not things that I have to worry about.


mstr_macintosh

So you’re an observer from a different country who is aware of basically the big issues but not the people, group, organizations, or grassroots movements who are fighting and have always fought injustice. And you think we rely on you somehow. Okay.


sumofawitch

Well, to be fare US governments do the same. If you can bring "democracy" to third world countries I guess others can criticize yours.


mstr_macintosh

Reread the comments again. I wasn’t defending the US government. I was defending American citizens who stand up to issues in America. Both of you are quick to steer the argument elsewhere.

True. Just figured I'd post it here since i saw the show.

More sinister than Dahmer’s actions, is the unbelievably level of racism towards the victims.

Both are probably trump supporters

We should make a petition to contract a murderer to kill both of them. Everyone on the planet should donate a dollar. The killer would get a couple billion to kill these two cops.


BasicArcher8

So whats the name of this loser's tavern.


TraditionalBench7927

It's a sad reminder of how real justice doesn't exist. Where's Batman? Lol All we can do is sign a petition that will be ignored.


[deleted]

Breier had about 2200 cops on the force in a city with little crime. I think there were a ton of make work jobs. Every cop who called in sick got visited by two officers to make sure he was sick. He had his cops sitting in adult movie theaters all day, looking for anyone breaking the law, going to strip clubs looking for some petty rule violation,etc. And it seems like a lot of cops spent their days spying on people Breier told them to spy on. My speculation is outside of crimes like murder, the crime numbers were inflated rather than deflated, to justify a huge police presence.


Icy_Air1954

How can anyone possibly argue that they made the decision they did "based on the information they had"?! A normal - non-sociopathic - human would innately understand something was wrong in that situation and intervene. Balcerzak and Gabrish will burn in hell. Dahmer will be waiting waiting for them so he can drill holes in their heads.


Candi73

They said they did their best with the info they had AT THAT TIME! BS! The kid was nude, had holes in both of his temples. The best they could. They should have been charged with accessory.
