I don't know about anywhere else 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. As someone almost predisposed to distrust LEOs, I was really inspired and impressed
by the behavior of Wisconsin's LEOs. They were outstanding.

2. I was very happily surprised
at our civil rights march and rally last week. We had tons of police, on foot or bicycles going along with us. They were pleasant and kind and helpful. I heard there were threats but it was peaceful and fine. Even the Phelps clan did not show. I rarely trust the LEO anymore sadly but I was very impressed as well, at least in this circumstance.
