In my opinion Walker is being derelict in his duty. He made a stand, the Republicans cast their vote and the Governor should be ready to do what it takes to protect them and see this thru. I’m very disappointed in how he has let this situation get this out of hand.
It's not too far out of hand yet. He has to let things evolve before he can call in the troops. That's the law AFAIK. I suppose he *could* have the troops lined up in advance but that isn't such a good idea either because that just causes the professional mercenary protesters to start throwing things and fighting right away. That's bad, too.
This way a few protesters get let in by bad cops, they get hauled away by good cops, and the protesters and bad cops get their punishments. At least that's how I think it goes down.
How the Governor let it get out of hand?!
The Democrats are awol, refusing to take part in the “democratic” process, the unions,(teachers and POLICE), are refusing to do their jobs, the media is portraying this as a fight for freedom and the sitting President of the United States is actively undermining the citizens and Representatives of Wisconsin, (and the entire country!)who just want to get to work!!
Please FRiend, I think Scott Walker believed/HOPED that the police would do their jobs, and protect the legislators who just want to do the job they were elected to do. IF the Governor had called out the Guard BEFORE, the media would have had a field day, and we never would have heard the end of how the rights of the protesters were “stamped out”.
May God give Gov. Walker the strength to see this through.
