Most of us are not in Madison and haven't seen what's going on first hand, yet I've read some pretty broad-brush put-downs of state employees (and I've made a few myself). We don't want to start asserting things like "all cops are siding with the Union protesters" as this only makes us look bad.
There is a lot that has been done wrong but the DOA is doing a good job now I think to communicate clearly and the Capitol Police are, unlike the 14 Flea Party members, doing their job.
See the blog for more up-to-date info.
From California huh? Check out this protest yesterday that Cindy Sheehan staged and that I disrupted with my own Freep Style Counter Protest!! I made the Usama Obama Momma cry! Boo Hoo!

Sorry pal, but the Madison cops are union members, and in general very leftist.
Yeah if I live in CA - I was to go to Wisconsin in late February. Astroturfing lib scum.
Hmmm...would that be the brother of HANS Gruber????
A person by that name operates an underwear company in Yorba Linda, CA known as “Freedom Underwear.” Sounds like a hippy thing. Probably the same guy.
I think that’s a good point. This whole situation is not being enormously well reported on a national level (probably because it makes Obama look bad) so all we get are fragmentary and probably distorted reports (i.e., all cops are joining the unionistas, etc.). It does look as if the Capitol Police are doing their job, perhaps not with great enthusiasm, but they are doing it. And that’s all you need.
On another note, this protester is from California? You’d think that the disastrous state of California’s economy would make him reexamine some of his theories, but I guess there’s nobody like a leftist for willful blindness. Ideology is all.
