→Milwaukee county courthouse shenanigans
Milwaukee County intake courts, where bail is generally set, are digitally recorded. The court records online show “digital recording” and “video conferencing” next to the hearing where Court Commissioner Cedric Cornwall set Brooks’ bail at $1,000. He posted the reference on November 11, 2021 according to ''Wisconsin Right Now''.

“We saw this coming,” Jackie Rupnow, who is with the Wisconsin Court Reporters Association. “It’s crucial, and now, there’s no record of it.” Rupnow contends that the association warned the state Supreme Court two years ago that digital recordings should be closely monitored by trained professionals and they ignored the warning.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/12/01/transcript-of-parade-crasher-darrell-brooks-bail-hearing-from-prior-incident-conveniently-lost-forever-1169989/</ref>

===DA John Chisholm===
A group of Milwaukee County taxpayers filed a complaint with Democrat Gov. Tony Evers demanding that he remove District Attorney John Chisholm after his office recommended a paltry $1,000 bail for Darrell Brooks, the suspect charged with killing six and injuring dozens of others with his SUV during an alleged attack on a Christmas parade in Waukesha. “The devastation resulting from Chisholm’s dereliction of duty to protect the public has reached outside the borders of Milwaukee County,” read the complaint. Under Wisconsin law, governors have the authority to remove elected local district attorneys over “inefficiency, neglect of duty, official misconduct, or malfeasance in office.” The Democratic DA has talked about his desire to reduce jail populations and even having admitted once that doing so likely would result in deaths.<ref>https://americanwirenews.com/wisconsin-governor-feels-taxpayer-heat-to-remove-prosecutor-who-set-accused-waukesha-killer-free/</ref>
Days before the parade incident, Brooks had been released on the light bail after he was charged with striking the mother of his child with the same SUV used in the parade attack. Chisholm attempted to lay the blame for Brooks’ light bail at the feet of a rookie prosecutor identified as Michelle Grasso. He said that when setting Brooks’ $1,000 bail two weeks before the parade attack, Grasso saw that his most recent prior bail was $500 so she decided to double that. Chisholm also said that Grasso did not have access to risk management data that would have likely led to her deciding to keep him in jail.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10331061/Group-seeks-oust-prosecutor-Wisconsin-parade-crash.html</ref>
