Anyone ever realize this about Wisconsin (Wisconsin's shame)?

So what was the story about? They didn't really explain it very well. Just seemed like a politically driven article?

Damn, that was a long article. I read it but I'm not sure I got much from it except that the "left" is punishing the "right" in Wisconsin because of the passage of Act 10. Is that the gist of what's happening up there?

Well ... I don't know if I'll do the explanation justice or not but I just hung up the phone with a Judge buddy of mine in Tennessee who is familiar with what is going-on up there and this is how he explained it to me.

Wisconsin passed a John Doe law some years ago originally designed to gain warrants and entry into suspected criminals' homes for whatever reason ... really doesn't matter. A judge could grant a search warrant for just about any reason, without actually naming the owner of the property or the person inside in the warrant ... thus "John Doe."

Fast forward a little bit and the radical far left wing nuts completely take over Wisconsin politics and they start doing all sorts of crazy shite to people they do not like.

Fast forward a little bit more and there is backlash on the lefties and people start trying to pull things back towards the Right a little .... they elect Scott Walker governor.

Walker lowers the boom on the corruption ... but, of course, the teachers' union and other far left wing groups up there go after Walker and his people.

So a couple of the far lefties employ the local law enforcement up there and some judges to start issuing these John Doe warrants on conservatives up there ... bam, next thing you know doors are being kicked-in, people harassed in the middle of the night ... and it was rampant. They cited what, five cases out of sixty something in the article? Middle of the night, doors kicked in, conservatives strong-armed .... just for being Conservative.

MSM doesn't touch it with a ten foot poll. You've never heard a peep about it until now, amirite?

Imagine if Republicans had done this to Democrats.

Right.

It's just about time for the reset button to get pushed.

The 4th amendment is dead.

Apparently it is in Wisconsin for sure ... time for the fricking shooting to start up there.

Listen, the lefties are all about eroding the Constitution piece by piece ... all while under the guise of being the great protectors of the 1st Amendment, which is bullshite.

But the 4th Amendment is not dead nationally .... it's just wounded. As to whether or not it is allowed to die a complete death is up to we the people.

It's why it is so important to protect the 2nd Amendment.

Georgia used to have a "no knock" warrant until the police busted into what they thought was a drug house in Atlanta. When they busted down the front door, a 92-year-old great grandmother opened fire on them because she thought she was being attacked by hoodlums in the bad neighborhood. Relatives said her home had been broken into in the past. She was killed by a hail of bullets from the cops.

I can't imagine this "John Doe" law won't be taken down by the Supreme Court.

I read a similar story recently about a guy in Maryland gunned down by the cops in similar circumstances. His father sued the police and won.

On appeal the judges threw out the jury verdict because he should have known the men breaking into his house at 4 am were cops. Sure the cops lied about if they announced the presence as cops, as proven in the first case. Judges assume everything else they say to be fact and that the entire jury didn't act as reasonable people in the decision.

The lesson here is don't pull a weapon on home invaders. If you make the mistake of assuming the armed men waking you from a deep sleep are there to attack you, you better be right.

I didn't see it mentioned in the article but if I'm not mistaken a prosecutor is a major leftist pro union bitch.

She is the one ordering all these searches.

IF this were completely accurate, and that is a big IF, those cops would be absolutely massacred by the media. Not to mention the lawsuits that could be levied.

IF this happened, the family should have sued for millions. It is a slam dunk case, and the cops would easily go to jail.

I am concerned that you used The National Review as a source of information. The vagueness of the story also calls into question its accuracy.

Should be public record as to the lawsuit, where is that so I can review it?

This is an outrage, but none of it surprises me, and that's the saddest part.

The cops can't be sued because they had a search warrant. They're protected.

Not true. Under state law, it depends on the state's sovereign immunity statutes. Under federal law, they can most probably be sued under 42 USC 1983.
