Why We Can't Keep Saying "Mental Illness" Like It's One Thing

The Lindsay Clancy Mistrial Exposed a Bigger Problem — My Take | Urban News Journal Crowley's New Poll Lead, a MKE Officer Shot, and Why "Mentally Ill" Isn't One Word Tonight on the Urban News Journal: a new Marquette poll gives us the first real head-to-head number in Wisconsin's governor's race, and we break down what it actually means. We cover Tuesday's officer-involved shooting on Milwaukee's north side, and give you the honest, no-spin update on our State Fair accountability letters. Then, in a straight opinion segment, Marcus Hart takes on this week's Lindsay Clancy mistrial coverage and makes the case for why treating "mental illness" as one flat explanation for violent crime does real damage to the millions of people managing a diagnosis that looks nothing like what made national news. Plus Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, the Brewers' playoff push, and three places to show up in Milwaukee this weekend. Urban News Journal is independent, objective, and unafraid.
