I don't know about elsewhere in America....
...but 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 well behaved also. Passive resistance to leaving the capitol is the ONLY thing that came 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 !!!

1. Here's a kick to go with all those recs
The calm exchanges between the LEOs & citizens must be making Walker & his cronies grind their teeth in frustration. Agent provocateurs would stand out like sore thumbs in this crowd.

3. Plenty of bad cops. But I've known a lot of really good ones.

Awesome of you to point this out.
