This is terrible reporting. First, I cannot imagine that there is any justification for threatening the teen with arrest. That being said, the sheriff must have some silly reason in his head for making the threat. But the story doesn’t seem to make any effort for showing the cop’s thinking. That’s just bad reporting. I’m not hinting that there might be a “good reason”. But I’d like to know the cop’s “stupid reason”. Because this thing reads as totally random.
I read the full article....what the hell is so controversial about her instagram post?
But then again, I am watching Netflix “Making a Murderer” and it seems some Wisconsin sheriff departments are “effin’” out of control.
That’s what you get with a power tripping Governor.
Administrator Meicher’s update stated that, “It was brought to my attention today that there was a rumor floating out there that one of our students contracted Covid-19 while on the band trip to Florida two weeks ago. Let me assure you there is NO truth to this. This was a foolish means to get attention and the source of the rumor has been addressed. This rumor had caught the attention of our Public Health Department and she was involved in putting a stop to this nonsense. In times like this, the last thing we need out there is misinformation. I asked her to prepare a short statement for the purpose of this update. I’ve pasted it below.”

A petty bureaucrat in the school doesn’t want bad stats, so he is able to get the police to threaten the parents of the student with arrest for the student posting “thought crimes” on Instagram. Nice.
Sue the f’n school. Sue the f’n police dept that is apparently too complicit with the city to even have a dim thought about constitutionally protected rights. Sue all the MFers.
I think she would have a better case, said “NO” and let them arrest her.
Made for TV: Sheriff Konrath and Deputy Klump.
One more “K” and it would be time to break out the white sheets.
Southern District of Wisconsin.
The incompetent “news” story doesn’t state why the sheriff or Deputy Klump felt justified in their demands, or the basis of the request to delete. Piss-poor reporting.
It’s worth reading the complaint (esp. p8) to appreciate breathtaking authoritarian display. I’d have sued the school district as well.
Here’s a link to the complaint

it’s time for the pitchforks
I could use an extra 10M.
Maybe I should move to WI for a couple months.
Folks,
this is local justice as our Founding Fathers designed. Why did our founders design for local justice.
History has lead us to a centralized federal government.
Why did that happen? Because it was easier to pass a new law than to correct the local justice.
Lawsuit?? Every Action taken here by Government Employee’s was a FELONY!! It is Called EXTORTION, It is Also Deprivation of Rights, and Numerous Civil Rights Violations, ALL FELONIES!!
WHY AREN’T THE GUILTY PARTIES IN PRISON?? Where is the Attorney General?? US Attorney??
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but think the government might have a case. It revolves around the use of faulty Covid-19 testing and tests which are the approved tests for this crisis. We now know that one of the reasons these tests were not administered was because of its frequency of false positive/negative results. The approved tests are/were/is unreliable. Even so...she was tested with the approved test and this test showed negative. Therefore, to reduce the incidence of panic and hysteria throughout the community, they required she remove her postings. They are relying upon the only approved indicator available, though faulty.
Good! Keep suing these Gestapo County Sheriffs. Keep them in court the rest of their lives.
The nature of democrats is to exert as much power as possible over the public. The virus situation is a great opportunity for democrats to exert their power over the public. It’s like a feeding frenzy for power. Many democrats will have a hard time giving it up.
It’s very reassuring to know the police won’t act like this when ordered to come and get our guns.
This time they were just doing it for our own good.
WTH????
The sheriff was right, she did NOT have the disease but she posted to Netflix as though she had it.
