The mentality of the SWAT team members speaks volumes. For instance, they really do know that what they were ordered to do is wrong, but they did it anyway, doubtless rationalized as “we were only doing our job” when in reality their jobs and ability to support themselves and their families are held hostage and used as a type of blackmail by morally corrupt higher ups.

There are not enough evil-minded socialists to do the dirty work so they co-opt otherwise decent people and coerce and manipulate them to terrorize intended groups of people into submission.

Chisholm and the jack-booted thugs who did this should be swinging from tall trees buck naked with their badges shoved up their butts.

This happened last September...the fact that Scott Walker said nothing about this....gag order or no gag order....doesn’t make me think much of him, either. I would have been shouting from the rooftops.

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

“we were only doing our job” didn’t work at Nuremberg and it won’t work for our own Nazis. And anyone who is counting on American troops not firing on American citizens; well I have ocean front property in Kansas for sale.

NBC had a series called Revolution about what the future could be without electricity. I recommend it highly. Even though it has been cancelled, it’s available on Hulu or Netflix or YouTube.

Is this an anti-cop rant? Is the prosecutor required to show, explain and justify to SWAT team members, every search warrant that is issued? And every Swat team member knows that the warrants are bogus because they have all been to law school and understand that they are just there to scare the hell out of women and children?

You are certainly stretching it by saying that SWAT and other officers KNEW that they were being used and didn't care.

Is it any wonder the police are called jack booted thugs and NAZI Sturm troopers? Will someone defend these evil pricks? Calling all bootlickers. Cleanup in Wisconsin.

Outstanding point!

So who is really more guilt?

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

Could this be the Police Union’s doing?
