Police Union announces solidarity with students, workers, and Wisconsin residents occupying the State Capitol in Madison. February 24, 2011.
"THIS ISN'T A UNION ISSUE, THIS IS A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE!"
"MR. WALKER, LET ME TELL YOU WHO WE WORK FOR! "
Sort of brings to mind when the military started to support the protestors in Tarhir Square in Cairo., don't it?Yesterday afternoon, hundreds of cops marched into the Wisconsin Capitol Building, where Wisconsinites have spent more than a week protesting their governor's plan to eliminate collective bargaining for most public employees. They were there to join the protest. You have to ask yourself,
WHY WASN'T THIS STORY IN THE
MAINSTREAM NEWS?
uhh, did the Gipper actually say this, or should we just blame it on the Alzheimers?
Haven't the teabaggers been touting Walker as their next Reagan?

Hello Microdot,
Well now at least the Police Force has recognized that it is their ass on the line too. As we have pointed out, it is not really about the budget, it is about Union Busting.
I have just written a piece called, “House Republicans Voted To Kill Big Bird.” The Republican led House of Representatives had the numbers as a block, by a vote of 235-189, to eliminate the funding for public broadcasting threatening millions of citizens throughout America with the loss of services that they rely on. I go on to say that it is not as much about pre-school learning but more to the fact of omitting “adult education and exposure to facts” programs such as Frontline, BBC News, PBS News Hour (the only TRUE fair and balance U.S. News program), Nightly Business Report, Independent Lens, American Experience, Nova, Nova Science Now, Science Frontiers, Need To Know, etc.
It was Frontline that did the in-depth program that exposed Bush / Cheney’s lying campaign to get U. S. citizens and legislators on board to “Preemptive Strike / Go To War” with Iraq. It was all there, line by line, date by date, etc…..and it was nothing more than ONE BIG LYE!!!! But with Frontline gone through lack of funding, this “Check and Balance” aspect that our Democracy needs to work….will be gone.
Now we know that Governor Scott Walker has been doing the GOP’s bidding of “Union Busting” from the Koch Brothers speaking of embedding a violence aspect to the Teachers and Public Workers Unions….but where is the National Public Outrage? Where is the Private News Programming asking questions and taking the Governor to task on this fact? Just like the known lies that led us to the Iraq War under W. Bush…all the voices are silent once again.
