Wisconsin’s Shame: ‘He Could Have Been Shot. Over Politics’

Sounds like Chisholm is Wisconsin’s very own Mike Nifong.

Way to go Milwaukee!!

[SpeakerToAnimals]

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”

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.

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

Swat officers knew they were being used,, and they didn’t care.
When a raid is to be executed at 4am, the first question is why it had a night certification. This is normally reserved for unusually dangerous suspects.
They next question on a professional swat team is why is a swat raid called for? Every search warrant does not need swat. They would ask why swat is being used. Is the suspect known to be dangerous? Is the house fortified or hardened? Does the suspect have a record of violence?

If the questions were answered that in lieu of two men in suits at 8am knocking on the door, a 4am raid was being ordered against non violent people, and that the crime was that maybe they had sent emails on state time or some such, then the officers were unprofessional thugs. They violated their oath of office,,,,, period.

And I bet if the families were sworn to secrecy, the Nazi officers were also likewise threatened, or were told that the goal of the warrant was secret, and that their only task is to secure the house.

And yes dear, the officers executing a warrant had damn well better know the justification of every single warrant they execute a raid for. If one of those swat officers had have shot that boy, he would have been investigated for homicide as an individual, and the first question is why were you there, what did you know about this raid, etc. Saying he kicked in the door because he was told but really doesn’t know anything about it wont fly.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008

They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

[samtheman]

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.

There are several reasons my early enthusiasm for Walker is fading. This is one of them.

I would have been shouting from the rooftops.

Me too, BUT, if we did the press would paint us as more paranoid than Nixon.

Perhaps better to wait until elected?

Beware the wrath of a patient man...

[Lazamataz]

There is a certain look that cold-blooded evil has. I've been studying a lot about ancient Rome, and I could see this man in Roman Army garb, with a short sword, plundering and burning a town and raping the women and slaughtering the kids... and loving every second of it.

Take a look at him. Imagine him in the Legion's garb. You'll see it.

Hear hear! The police were only told one side of the story. Control someone’s information, you control their world view. Control their world view, you control their actions.

They were only pawns, mere tools.

Even then, they presented a warrant and didn’t shoot anyone.

[null and void]

Oh yeah, right down to the bloody gladius.

[Enlightened1]

Outstanding point!

So who is really more guilt?

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

[Nifster]

General warrants....ah who cares the constitution doesn’t apply to the elite

[Lazamataz]

You and I are of like mind. We should meet up again and raid the coastal town of Carthagia.

The order givers. Take out the brain and the hand become inert.

No point at this point...

[Lazamataz]

There is always a point.

[SaraJohnson]

If we had a large and powerful and educated Christian rights support network, nationwide, whoever sent these thugs to terrorize these Christians would be on the hot seat right now.

[rawcatslyentist]

secret criminal investigations, supervised not by the citizens of a grand jury but by judges who all too often simply rubber-stamp prosecutors’ demands.

It IS their BUSINESS after all. It's how they pay themselves!

[null and void]

Point made.

[Senator_Blutarski]

Gov. Walker and his office probably won’t do squat, bowing down to ‘the system’ and ‘the leftists thugs’. Dose not bode well for him as a leader to ‘champion anything’. Very discouraging to hear.

Given the existing legal statutes, what exactly should Scott Walker be doing?
