Where did the SWAT Teams come from? Were any from Milwaukee County?

Chisholm and his associates should be in prison.

The injustice and violation of basic rights is extreme on many levels.

The fact that they aren’t in prison shows just how corrupt we have become as a country.

The mentality of the SWAT team members speaks volumes. For instance, they really do know that what they were ordered to do is wrong, but they did it anyway, doubtless rationalized as “we were only doing our job” when in reality their jobs and ability to support themselves and their families are held hostage and used as a type of blackmail by morally corrupt higher ups.

There are not enough evil-minded socialists to do the dirty work so they co-opt otherwise decent people and coerce and manipulate them to terrorize intended groups of people into submission.

Chisholm and the jack-booted thugs who did this should be swinging from tall trees buck naked with their badges shoved up their butts.

This happened last September...the fact that Scott Walker said nothing about this....gag order or no gag order....doesn’t make me think much of him, either. I would have been shouting from the rooftops.

These stories will only make the news when some of the cops are taken out with head shots and the victims survive to tell about it (preferably with security camera footage to support their case). Pretend you don’t hear the bell, then light them up when they smash their way in...

John Chisholm. The face of a monster. The face of a Jacobin.

It's the death camp guard defense; "I was only following orders."

“we were only doing our job” didn’t work at Nuremberg and it won’t work for our own Nazis. And anyone who is counting on American troops not firing on American citizens; well I have ocean front property in Kansas for sale.

NBC had a series called Revolution about what the future could be without electricity. I recommend it highly. Even though it has been cancelled, it’s available on Hulu or Netflix or YouTube.

>>> Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm

Duly elected by ‘the people’.

Some might be queasy about how it was done, but most in that district probably are ok with taking out conservatives.

Unless there is another to challenge Chisholm, conservatives in that district will have to move out, or be silenced.

Gov. Walker and his office probably won’t do squat, bowing down to ‘the system’ and ‘the leftists thugs’. Dose not bode well for him as a leader to ‘champion anything’. Very discouraging to hear.

That Mutt should be looking over his shoulder the rest of his days.
I’m surprised that none of the family members have not torched this guy.
Do that to me and mine- I will make that movie Next of Kin look like a cartoon. I don’t care who you are. I will let slip the dogs of war.

H/T to our FRiend markomalley for the post.

Especially note Spirited Irish's observation on this thread.

FreeRepublic has been tracking this situation in Wisconsin for some time now - weaponized police serving their political masters' whims of intimidation. And they do it without question (so much for the bluster about "Oathkeepers"...)

And if they can successfully do it in Wisconsin, nothing will prevent them from doing it in your county.

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

they really do know that what they were ordered to do is wrong, but they did it anyway

Is this an anti-cop rant? Is the prosecutor required to show, explain and justify to SWAT team members, every search warrant that is issued? And every Swat team member knows that the warrants are bogus because they have all been to law school and understand that they are just there to scare the hell out of women and children?

You are certainly stretching it by saying that SWAT and other officers KNEW that they were being used and didn't care.

Every cop knows denying anyone access to an attorney is wrong, dead wrong. So is telling them to keep their mouths shut.

So yes, they knew what they were doing was wrong. They belong in prison, too.

Every single one of them.

Are you trying to justify using SWAT for, at worst, white collar crime?

No, you are attempting to defend the indefensible.
