Yes, its an on-going concern. It doesn’t help your argument to wave the injured baby around, that is a liberal tactic. I’m all in favor of removing the immunity of police for this kind of error or malicious behavior. Well aware of the baby and prefer to argue on the basis of facts and about this case.
Methodically selecting political opponents rather than violent crime suspects for this treatment is a big step away from democracy and if you identified as a conservative you feel like a target and would understand this more than you do.
Thanks!
Still hard to understand why Gov. Walker has not led the charge against the John Doe law, though. He is, after all, the Governor.
The law actually can “gag” the Governor?
PS
What is the position of the Wisconsin Attorney General in this matter.
He is the chief law enforcement officer of the state, is he not?

I agree about the political vs criminal. But, when they’re allowed to burst into the home of anyone they suspect is a criminal based on testimony of KNOWN criminals then it’s only a matter of time before they can come after their political adversaries. And it looks like that’s what the DA is doing in Wisconsin. Walker complained publicly but the guy is still doing it and apparently no effort is being made to stop him.
He wasn't running for President, but Tom Delay sure got the runaround from that Ft. Worth DA.
This is a late ping with more information on the out of control Milwaukee DA, John Chisholm, and his John Doe investigations.
FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Him and Nifong should go into retirement together
What is Nifong up to lately? He shoot himself yet?

WHO doesn’t GET THIS by now?
Love My Gov!
Another great meme! :)
Chisolm needs the Harry Reid treatment.
If you are the governor, and you are told you are subject to investigation in Wisconsin’s John Doe, then yes, you can be gagged. Listening carefully to Walker throughout, you could tell he was getting legal advice every step of the way.
Does protesting too much under these leaked investigation innuendoes make you look guilty???….
———the “John Doe” investigation – so-named because the prosecutors, under a unique feature of Wisconsin law, can swear everyone involved to secrecy, preventing the targets from defending themselves to the public – was quite effective. It’s undoubtedly one of the reasons Walker’s re-election race is so close.

The court-sanctioned dragnet has subpoenaed more than 100 conservative and free-market activists. Though gagged by provisions of the subpoenas, several sources have told Wisconsin Reporter the manifold legal attack on nonprofit political organizations has included pre-dawn raids on homes and offices; confiscated equipment and files; and demands for phone, email and other records.
The sources have asked to remain anonymous due to their proximity to the investigation or to people connected to it.

The previous AG was Republican but was a useless crapweasel and should have found some legal way to corral this. Perhaps he was a target too.
The new AG was only elected in Nov.
(Thanks!!)
Is he a Republican?
Does he possess the intestinal fortitude necessary to go after the John Doe law?
Sounds like a WW II Nazi operation?
