Wisconsin's Shame: "I Thought It Was a Home Invasion"
National Review ^ | 20 April 2015 | David French

Posted on 04/20/2015 3:41:19 PM PDT by Moose4

"THEY CAME WITH A BATTERING RAM.”

Cindy Archer, one of the lead architects of Wisconsin’s Act 10 — also called the “Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill,” it limited public-employee benefits and altered collective-bargaining rules for public-employee unions — was jolted awake by yelling, loud pounding at the door, and her dogs’ frantic barking. The entire house — the windows and walls — was shaking.

She looked outside to see up to a dozen police officers, yelling to open the door. They were carrying a battering ram.

She wasn’t dressed, but she started to run toward the door, her body in full view of the police. Some yelled at her to grab some clothes, others yelled for her to open the door.

“I was so afraid,” she says. “I did not know what to do.” She grabbed some clothes, opened the door, and dressed right in front of the police. The dogs were still frantic.

Read the whole thing. It is absolutely mind-boggling that this sort of thing can happen in this country.

Read it. Sounds like something out of communist Cuba. This has got to stop, conservatives must not have a mark on their forehead.

Blood. Boiling. If ever there was a reason for cop to not come home after his shift, this was it.

I have a foolproof method for stopping these kinds of raids.

Best way to search is in Google, using a text fragment from the essay and “freerepublic”. Example:

freerepublic Cindy Archer, one of the lead architects of Wisconsin’s Act 10

Click the link, this one is worth it. Like something out of 30’s Germany.

There’s more about this in other posts.

Probably... no make that doubtless... unconstitutional, but these lefties push whatever they can because the conservatives are too soft on them when they are caught up. The only parallel situation is that of investigations by special Federal anti terrorism courts and the USSC tightened the lid on that too. An accusation of illegal politicking or even embezzlement... no way this sort of treatment gets by any sane appellate court... the criterion being sane.

It WAS a home invasion...pure and simple. No-knock raids should be outlawed in ALL fifty states.

Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm is more interesting in getting Scott Walker than dealing with the rising crime and murder rate in Milwaukee. Mayor Tom Barrett doesn’t have a clue and is another liberal hack. To raid homes and tell victims they can’t contact a lawyer or even tell their neighbors about what’s going on is a Constitutional violation. Chisholm should be jailed.

If you are participating in something where you know they might make a raid on your house, you can have them running out the door, or off of the property quickly. All it takes is raw willpower and the will to die. They have the first element, but they do NOT have the second.
