Protesters, the Police and Maintaining the Moral High Ground
Here in Wisconsin our Law Enforcement Officers have been taxed to the max due to Scott Walkers criminal activities.

There have been literally tens of thousands of encounters between LEO's and citizens. Virtually all have been pleasant exchanges of good will, ... thanks for doing your job officer.....we're glad you're here officers....we're glad you're here too sir.

The LEO's have been exemplary in their conduct. They have treated everyone with dignity and respect.

As you might expect, the protesters have been very well behaved. Speakers have gone out of their way to thank the LEO's for their fine work. Marching protesters are thanking every officer they see. There have been NO incidents of violence or vandalism, despite the plans cooked up on the phone by Scott Walker and the faux David Koch.

Passive resistance to leaving the capitol is the ONLY thing that has come into play where LEO's had to physically touch people. That was done with a MINIMUM of force. I've heard NOT ONE complaint about how protesters were treated.


This needs to be the example for the nation. That LEO is your neighbor !!!
