Jeffrey Dahmer Prosecutor Denies Racial & Homophobic Bias From Cops

The prosecutor who put Jeffrey Dahmer behind bars is pushing again towards the narrative Netflix places forth in its new present — specifically, that cops ignored apparent clues as a result of the case concerned homosexual and/or Black individuals.

Former Milwaukee D.A. Michael McCann — who personally prosecuted Dahmer within the ’90s — tells TMZ … the notion that MPD officers turned a blind eye to Dahmer’s victims due to their race or sexual orientation is ludicrous, regardless of what “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” portrays.

The true crime drama is getting loads of buzz proper now, and whereas McCann says he hasn’t seen it but … he is conscious of how Netflix and co. are taking part in issues — very anti-cop and leaning into perceived racial and homophobic bias all through the episodes.

McCann is flatly denying that characterization, saying neither race nor sexual orientation had influenced how police investigated Dahmer. He insists in the event that they’d identified that they had a serial killer of their midst, they might’ve moved in instantly to place a cease to it … whatever the victims’ backgrounds.

He explains Dahmer’s M.O. merely did not permit for them to find the reality any prior to they did in 1991 — when one among his victims escaped and introduced cops to Dahmer’s house.

McCann notes Dahmer did not go away loads of apparent proof mendacity round, and lined his tracks properly.

He additionally thinks there’s one thing to the truth that Dahmer’s victims had been males — saying girls who went lacking again then had been investigated by assuming the worst. On racism and homophobia usually, he acknowledges it has been an issue traditionally in legislation enforcement … however continues to be adamant that it performed no position in how officers went about dealing with Dahmer.

In fact, not everybody will purchase what McCann’s promoting right here … particularly seeing how Glenda Cleveland — performed by Niecy Nash — alerted Milwaukee PD to Dahmer’s habits many occasions earlier than he was ultimately captured. Many suspect cops wrote her off as a result of she was Black.
