The way Milwaukee police Chief Ed Flynn sees it, it's fairly easy to avoid getting shot in Milwaukee.Speaking at a ceasefire Sabbath kickoff breakfast on Thursday, Flynn told attendees there were "four simple rules" one should follow to avoid being a gunshot victim.Don't be part of a crime gang or crewDon't be a drug dealerDon't illegally carry a gunAnd finally, "If you are in an argument with a stranger, ask them how often they've been arrested. If they've been arrested more often than you've been arrested, concede the point," he said. As of Tuesday, Milwaukee police said 35 people have been killed in the city since the beginning of the year. Most of those killed were gunshot victims. Flynn said the percentage of shootings are attributed to people who are "criminally-involved.""If you are involved in a criminal lifestyle, it is a rational act to carry a gun to, quote, protect yourselves, from your rivals and enemies," he said.
