WTH are the Wisconsin State Troopers ?
“WTH are the Wisconsin State Troopers ?”
Dontcha know, cmon ... They are at a union meeting.
Fox has been running a clip of some protests where there are a number of troopers trying to shut doors, and one where the trooper’s hand happens to go near a protester’s neck. The protester fakes like he’s being manhandled and spins around, trying to get on camera.
I don’t know if that footage is from this morning or not though.
Unless I’m mistaken, state troops can’t be deployed without an order from the governor. I suspect Walker is being reluctant to do that, because it’s almost a guarantee that if state troops are brought in there will be a riot.
The State Troopers and all other LEO’s are under the command of the incident commander (Read the Capitol Police chief). He is calling the shots.
