The minute that Governor Walker saw that the police aren’t enforcing the laws in Wisconsin, he should have called out the national guard and fired the offending officers.
If the cops can’t or won’t cut it, make them an unemployment statistic. Surely there is some kind of back burner plan somewhere up there to activate the Guard.
The governor is not a God - he cannot fire city police officers
I think he is trying to refrain from giving these people their youtube moment so is using restraint.
The 2007 Insurrection Act may be what’s keeping Governor
Walker from calling out the National Guard. Read the
comment by “tharkun” in Richard Fernandez’ PJM blog
The Belmont Club, in “Egypt In America”? for a cite.
He, and his cite say it allows for Presidential pre-emption
of Governor, allowing the former to direct who and what
the Guard protect. The rationale was Louisiana inactivity
during Katrina and the aftermath.

Agreed
