police are defying orders

I think tomorrow night will be the turning point. The capitol police announced the new rules on “camping” (I’ll remember it’s now free next time I get my state park sticker) and the building closing on Friday. Kinda like the grownups asking the kiddies nice and gentle to bet their butts in bed. Now if they defy those orders, I expect we will see not-so nice measures taken. It’s probably bad PR for our side but some National Guardsmen with firehoses would be great.

You can aggressively clear crowds of hippies and students, but not middle age teachers, firefighters, etc.

This is the reason these Teachers Unions get away with so much. All they have to do is send a couple thousands middle class looking teachers into the street to whine and the public loses it's nerve and caves into them. It's why it's been so hard to do anything about these out of control Teachers Unions.

Combine a liberal college town and public sector unions and you have a recipe for huge and persistent protests. Add to that these unions protests are piggybacking on the pro-Democracy protests in the Middle East and I suspect the pressure on our Wisconsin GOP Senators is enormous.

We already have lawlessness as these state Democratic Senators are simply not doing their job, but if the police begin refusing orders (which the left claims is already happening), then we have a serious situation where unions are literally overturning a democratic election. If they are allowed to get away with it in Wisconsin, these tactics will simply be replicated elsewhere - possibly successfully.
