Oh, I think that's about the size of it. It it were Walker doing the same to his political opponents during, say, the recall campaign against him, you'd see it on the 3 MSM networks every night...a 60 Minute special...liberal news rags...etc...
If someone tried this on one of my neighbors, they'd immediately find several of us with loaded weapons in the streets filming the whole thing and asking the officers what was going on. If they tried this at my house, they would be treated as well as they presented themselves.
I sleep with multiple loaded guns close at hand. If something like this happen to me and mine there will likely be several deaths. Not saying I would survive but I know I could easily take many with me.
Not much to add to the numerous excellent comments, except to say I am shocked as everyone, and anyone responsible for this outrage should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
And, as much or even more so, as they are the supposed "guardians" of Liberty, anyone in the press who knows of this and is willingly ignoring it should be even more ashamed, by orders of magnitude.
IMHO, doing more & much deeper research on the candidates you vote for would be a good start. I say this not to criticize. There was a day when I voted for people that have taken my natural rights away. I have learned and I believe you can too. :)
If this ever happens to anyone immediately go public, to the news, lawyers, and anyone else that will listen. This is America and we have rights. I know several houses where this forced entry without a warrant probably would have went down much differently!!
Cg, It appears that you see the problem. What I don't understand is how you cannot see that it is the people you support in office that are doing these things. I sincerely hope that someday you will see this, just like I did many years ago.
"John Doe" warrants are absolutely unconstitutional, as they are a form of illegal search and seizure, violating the 4th amendment. Warrants should be granted only when there is reasonable cause, and restricted to the party who is the likely suspect of criminal activity. Grand juries violate the 5th amendment, denying the defendant evidence presentation and testimony that would insure proper judgement of his peers.
I've been asked to give false testimony in more than one grand jury, but when I registered a complaint that the Federal prosecutor was suborning perjury, all it took to eliminate the complaint was a statement of denial by the prosecutor. If the grand jury system isn't entirely eliminated, then any witness should have the right to have preliminary interviews recorded.
I'm beginning to feel like Vercingetorix, leader of the defeated Gauls before being executed by Caesar. His last words might have been, "I'm a free person from a free country."
I personally know one of the people this happened to. None of us knew about it until this person stuck his neck out and broke the gag order. The people of WI and the nation own this person a debt of gratitude for telling us about it.
Jackbooted thugs terrorizing American citizens with the full force of the government behind them. This sickens me.
And where is the national media coverage of this atrocity... deafeningly silent. Yet another example of the tyranny of the left that result in jail time for those involved, but will result in more "nothing to see here".
If's a wonder no one was shot and/or killed. This scenario would play out much differently in TX. President Cruz is absolutely right when he says the Second Amendment is the ultimate check against government tyranny.
All forgiven in NewMerica since the perps were Citizens of the New World Order and the objects of the gross corruption were Walker conservatives. Right?
I don't know about anybody else, but this works with me. You better believe I am afraid because I know I am exactly the person that the government wants to target and shut down, and I know they can destroy everything I have worked for all my life. Anybody who thinks we don't live in tyranny better think again.
This is absolutely disgraceful. The article hits the key when one of the victims says something about this being the way we treat suspected drug dealers. Once we give the gov't power to act like this to address one problem, like gangs, terrorists, drugs, etc, it ends up being abused for political reasons. We're coming inured to there being special cases where Constitutional protections don't apply. I can convey my disgust for this type of abuse.
This is one of the most atrocious abuses of the judicial system I've ever read about, and its only now beginning to come out into the public's attention. What I fear deep down is that so much of the government's power, at all levels, has been taken control of by progressives,technocrats, and socialists, that it's too late.
There is no room for civil discourse with these people. They actually feel justified in using any tactic or abuse or destruction of lives to gain their ends, with little fear of public or official backlash. They are in every nook and cranny of our society's institutions, government, law enforcement, judicial system, education, financial and even business.
It may very well be that those valuing liberty will have to begin to recognize the assault we're under is worthy of self defense, that these issues that we discuss and nibble around the edges of, trying to apply reason to, are actually as deadly as is a madman attacking with an axe, and deserve appropriate self defense. I think this is about life.

Respectfully.

No matter who it is applied to, this is a very scary development in our once-free nation. This doesn't bode well at all...
