“Perhaps better to wait until elected?”
________________________________________

When your house is on fire, you can’t wait.

Scott Walker is the highest elected official in Wisconsin; he doesn’t need to be president to go after the RAT thugs who committed this outrage.

Imagine if Wisconsin had a dem governor, and a republican district attorney order a raid on the home of dem activists.
The national media would scream bloody murder.

The one who gave the illegal orders or the order followers?

Historically speaking, both end up against walls.

I wonder if this is one of the deep differences between the Left and Right in the political arena. For the Right, politics is a necessary evil because anarchy is not an option. For the Left, politics is the option for control and their rightful sphere for that end. One side wants minimal action and limits to keep a useful servant but dangerous master properly leashed. The other resents limits as their positions are obviously for everybody’s benefit. The latter finds no difficulty in using all power at hand to enforce their positions.

Good ol’ John Doe.

(If I were a police chief, and I heard that one of my men had told a kid he couldn’t call a lawyer, I would have him sacked.)

Could this be the Police Union’s doing?

I guess the SCOTUS will eviscerate the Fourth Amendment next time they get together.

The Tenth Amendment is Toast and the First Amendment will be the next one in line.

Never claimed I am an legal expert. But just so that we understand one another, here goes -

Conservatives and likely Walker supporters in Wisconsin literally were being hunted down and innocents being politically persecuted by this Chisholm character.

Until some brave soul(s) was courageous enough to break the gag order, or heaven forbid some one shed blood to make it to the news cycle, Gov. Walker is helpless doing anything about the situation.

I repeat my previous comment: “Dose not bode well for him as a leader to ‘champion anything’. Very discouraging to hear.”

I always thought California would be the first basket state, but as this unfold (for years) I might have to write off Wisconsin.

It's the death camp guard defense; "I was only following orders."

And, if Hitler had survived to stand trial: "I neffer killed anyvun; I vas only giffing orders!"

THOSE WHO GIVE THE ORDERS must be priority targets.

These scumbags from Chisholm on down to the cops involved need to be sent to prison for LIFE under 18 USC 241 and 242.

Ultimately, it’s the doing of morally corrupt individuals located within power and influence-shaping positions. Like rot they eventually corrupt everything they touch.

He was elected Governor. He is the top cop. He could issue a pardon and end this.

But I guess his run for President is more important.

If he jumped on this it would give him a big boost in the polls. Ignoring corrupt law enforcement in his state will reflect badly.

Looks like a police union to prove they are the real power. I can advise anyone how to change that.

Do you know of a law or court case which requires an attorney present during a search or delivery of a warrant?

Nope. But I do know they know that everyone has a right to counsel, see Miranda.

These cops knew they were wrong.

All of them need to be in prison.

All of them.
