evidence: Fact check: Online post incorrect about Amber Alerts and Black children in Milwaukee [...] "So Amber Alert works for kids in Baraboo but not Black kids in Milwaukee," one Facebook post stated July 6. The text was accompanied by a "thinking" emoji. [...] We rate this claim FALSE based on our research. The data actually shows a disproportionately high number of alerts — based on population — have been issued precisely for Black children in Milwaukee. Nearly half of all alerts involved Black children, even though only about 1 in 15 state residents is Black. And more than one-fourth of all alerts were initiated by Milwaukee police — all for Black children.
