#1 This needs to be met with armed resistance. At this point the state government has become completely tyrannical and I doubt its supreme court will stop this.

This is the very reason that the founding fathers wanted citizens to have weapons and a militia to defend themselves. The police facing a wall of armed citizens will send a very serious message of how far we are willing to go to protect our freedoms. Do these bullies and tyrants dare to cross it?

It wasn't the government of the state of Wisconsin, DarthVader, but a district attorney and a ~~compliant~~ complicit local judge, as I understand it.

#3 The National Review article on which "Inside the Raids" is based has a good deal more detail. It can be read here.

#4 Good reading TW. And scary too. Lets hope the Prosecutors and Judge get held accountable.

Yeah.. I can dream can't I?

#5 I was obeying orders does not protect the participants. That is an established legal point.

#6 the 'obeying orders' may not protect but the deference given to prosecutors is very great and even an egregious case like this is difficult to deal with; probably the guilty parties will get away with a reprimand and remain heroes and heroines to the left in WI

#7 If government keeps pushing such injustices and abuses of power, sooner or later they are going to put someone in a position where they believe they have nothing left to lose; that is the most dangerous kind of person there is. If he's trained and armed, the results could be catastrophic, both to the offending government and to our future as a lawful nation.

#8 .....sooner or later they are going to put someone in a position where they believe they have nothing left to lose; that is the most dangerous kind of person there is.

Let me introduce Hillary Clinton.

#9 They saw it once at the Bundy Ranch.

The time is rapidly coming where the government feels they have everything to lose if they don't stomp on those that feel they have nothing left to lose by standing up for themselves.

#10 Average people's lives were torn up and ruined by these 'investigations'.

Mr. French's NR article only scratches the very surface of what was (and still is in some cases) going on with this John Doe investigation. The 'defendants' are still under court orders not to divulge what what they're going through. Mr. O'Keefe is a brave soul to expose what has happened to him. He admits that others were pried into and disrupted a lot worse than he was.

As more and more information becomes publicly available, hopefully the prosecutor and his 'team' (including a large presence by D party and union operatives) will be made to face the music. The wheels in Wisconsin are turning slowly towards that, but could still get derailed by a Federal Judge, a court somewhere or perhaps a WH Attorney General.

Normally, this activity and the consequences would be covered up by major news sources. We'll see if they continue to do so.

I wish I was more optimistic, but I'm not.
