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.

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

Surely there are some MP units in the WI Guard. Those backed up by regular infantry with some armor and Bradleys for intimidation would be a heck of a sight to see.
