Two Wisconsin police officers were caught on video verbally accosting a mother for letting her daughter play at a neighbors home during the states COVID-19 shutdown, accusing her of violating an order by the state.
The incident, caught on video by the moms cell phone, shows the officers immediately and aggressively demanding to know if shes aware of the states stay-at-home order.
The footage shows the first officer, a male, repeatedly interrupting the woman and sarcastically responding to her answers.
Why are you here? the mother asked in the video.
Because your daughter is going to play at other peoples homes and youre allowing it to happen, the officer responded.
Stop having your kid go by other peoples homes, he then demanded.
The female police officer then repeatedly demanded the woman give her middle initial and last name so she could put it in an official record, which the mother refused to do.
Thatll be documented too, that youre uncooperative, the female cop adds.

When this video was played on Fox last night, it wasn’t the entire video. The host (Tucker maybe?) added that throughout the encounter, the Gestapo make a point to use the word, “trailer”, when speaking of her home, making her seem “less than”. And their snotty attitudes! So this is American law enforcement now?
They demanded her name in order to have a permanent record that she was uncooperative with the state??
I applaud her for refusing to give it.
The cops had zero probable cause.
IMO she should sue for violating her civil rights.
This is like when cops beat the crap out of you, and then book you on one charge: resisting arrest (iow, resisting the beating.)
This needs to go viral.
Those are county cops and that is a rural area in Wisconsin. I grew up in that environment and I can assure you that kids playing in a neighbors back yard is not “between the line”.
If you give little people power they act just like that.
From Fascist Governors to lock stepping cops that don’t read the Constitution to neighbors ratting out their neighbor we are rapidly turning into China.
The next question has to be, How many of these lost freedoms are we going to get Back?
How much Freedom are you willing to give up for safety?
Every Freedom given up in the world was for the good of the people. And never returned.
Because your daughter is going to play at other peoples homes and youre allowing it to happen, the officer responded.
People should worry about their Constitutional Rights rather than their health.
The whole stay at home order violates the US Constitution. There is no between the line. Either you are free or you are not. Our founding fathers did not write in the Constitution, "except when there is a virus." These cops are poorly educated, anti-American, liberal pieces of schiff on a power trip.
Thats not entirely true...do a little research and you will find several examples where police depts and Sheriffs across several states that have said they are not enforcing the orders of the states or local govt officials.
Looks like a couple of Barney Fifes are gonna get doxxed.
Now just where was it I heard those words ,”I was just following orders,” Oh I remember it was at the Nuremberg Trials.
More just following orders? HUH!
Kudos to the patriot who turned her in. /s
Most of the time when cops do this kind of thing, they are just following orders...keeping their employment record in good order. And I think it is likely when the SHTF (or has it already?) that most cops will continue to follow orders - they have mortgages, bills, kids to put through college, car loans, pensions, etc. too. He who pays gets to call their shots.
But this pair really seems to get into it...they arent just following orders and keeping their jobs secure, they are lovin it. If there were still new oceans to cross and new lands to settle...a lot of people would be heading out about now, totalitarian attitudes have become in vogue.
Exactly. And did you see in the video where they asked for the child’s mother’s name? That’s equivalent to, “Show me your papers.” Where have we heard that before?
In what city or town did this take place?
And *how* did they know the child had visited a friend?
Brownshirts can’t be brownshirts without the cooperation of neighbors ratting out neighbors.
Not taking a stand either way on this, just pointing out that the Nazi’s didn’t have the support of the majority — but didn’t need it due to snitches and consequences.
You know I am getting very tired of that “allowed” Where does the government “allow” it’s citizens to be free.
Slip sliding away into Fascism. Where the government tells you daily what is “allowed”
Used to be a great country. I don’t know how it was let go.
I was hoping there would be some kind of follow up available by now. Was the police chief questioned about his patrol cops? Who squealed about the child, some nosy neighbor encouraged by the governor to snitch?
Was the mother given a citation?
Certainly I am generalizing. We do that to make arguments, and in this case the generalization is highly true. There are few Mayberrys left in America.
Calumet County, Wisconsin, in what used to be the United States of America.
It’s in the east-central part of the state, a bit southwest of Green Bay.
The sheriff’s department there is apparently defending the action “on social media”.
