Protesters in Madison not budging
Fox News ^ | 2/27/11

Posted on 02/27/2011 2:37:31 PM PST by Jean S

The protesters agreed to leave peacefully so the capitol building could be cleaned. Later, they organized some seminars on "passive resistance". Now they're pouring in the building and refusing to leave unless they're handcuffed.

Watch live on Fox.

The police should tell them BO/BS is giving a pep rally speech at the Marriott in Madison. That should send them sprinting out of the state capitol.

“Police have just announced to the crowds inside the occupied State Capitol of Wisconsin: ‘We have been ordered by the legislature to kick you all out at 4:00 today. But we know what’s right from wrong. We will not be kicking anyone out, in fact, we will be sleeping here with you!’ Unreal.”

Walker can't allow this to continue. Police who refuse to carry out their duties must be replaced, with National Guardsmen if necessary. There should also be new legislation to limit the powers of the police and firefighters unions.

The -cops- are now flaunting the law?

The country is unraveling.

If the police will not follow orders and clear the State Capitol Building of protesters, then Governor Walker needs to call up the Wisconsin National Guard and order them to expel the protesters from the Capitol Building. He also needs to move to fire the police officers and commanders who refuse to obey his orders. He cannot allow these cops to remain on the force if they are pulling this stunt.

The only criticism I have of Governor Walker's handling of this is that he had not moved to clear the Capitol Building/grounds of protesters/agitators at the beginning of all this.

If the cops would not do it, then activate a couple battalions of the National Guard and order them to expel the protesters from the Capitol Building/grounds and then form a human wall around the building, not allowing protesters near the place.

Give me a break. Nothing you’ve reported from your “buddy” in Madison has turned out to be true.

I call troll.

Another reason that we should never allow the Government to disarm the People.

Any show of force by police or guard would play out like Libya on the cable news shows.

Could this latest tactic by the protesters actually make them heroes in the eyes of those in Wisconsin?
The longer the protesters stay the more they get the public’s support in their direction?

Some head commie on the Fox live feed just announced to the still fairly large commie crowd in the capital that, ‘We will be allowed to stay the night here.’ Saying they will be sleeping on the ground floor.

If that's the plan it's backfiring. We in Wisconsin are sick of this crap!
