Ryan Harvey reports, “Hundreds of cops have just marched into the Wisconsin state capitol building to protest the anti-Union bill, to massive applause. They now join up to 600 people who are inside.”
The Wisconsin Police came out in solidarity with the unions and had something to say to their Governor, “Let me tell you Mr. Walker, this is not your house, this is all our house.”
Ryan reported on his Facebook page earlier today:
“Police have just announced to the crowds inside the occupied State Capitol of Wisconsin: ‘We have been ordered by the legislature to kick you all out at 4:00 today. But we know what’s right from wrong. We will not be kicking anyone out, in fact, we will be sleeping here with you!’ Unreal.”

Firefighters and police are showing up in great numbers, in solidarity with the unions and against the Governor’s radical agenda, stripping Americans from their rights — senseless firing, low minimum wages and poor working conditions are at stake.
We won’t go back in time. This is America and the people have spoken, not the corporations. While Wisconsin’s governor is looking out for his own party’s interests, the police and firefighters, among others, are just going to get louder. Governor Walker will become an historical disgrace if he eradicates the rights of workers.
Radical elements are sweeping across America and it’s contagious. While the Arizona Governor hallucinated headless bodies in the desert, Republicans still voted for her, then other states wanted to emulate Arizona’s pro-discrimination bill. Right wing radicalism is alive in America and it has to cease. And now — it’s the unions they want to exterminate and other states want to emulate Governor Walker’s exhaustive leap of insanity.
