WISN-AM (1130) radio host Mark Belling referred to Derek Williams as a dirty, rotten thug and said the only reason his death is in the news is because the Journal Sentinel discovered the story.



Belling made the comments during the last three minutes of his three-hour show Wednesday. Click here to hear his rant.

Belling's comments are insensitive and harmful to the community. His comments would also seem to indicate that it's alright for a handcuffed suspect to die in the back of a squad car begging for help.



"The reason that this is getting so much attention is because this is the police," he said. "We toss our cookies when a dirty, rotten thug dies because of the negligence of police, but the same people who want to scream and yell and accuse the police officers of homicide for not intuiting that this piece of garbage actually was sick instead of faking want to cut all the slack in the world to the gang bangers who get their wrists slapped every time they take a pot shot. Or the people who injure innocent civilians when they are shooting at someone else in drive-bys."

If that wasn't bad enough, Belling also managed to tie the Williams' case to co-sleeping deaths by asking why the same attention isn't paid to "the pigs of mothers who are too lazy to put their children in a crib and roll over the top of them while sleeping on a futon on the floor."

Why does WISN-AM (1130) continue to allow this kind of insensitive speech?
