3/12/11, "I don't think any of the Republican leadership has accused law enforcement of siding with protesters or abetting them in any way," Althouse blog, Ann Althouse
"Says UW polisci prof Barry Burden, quoted in a Christian Science Monitor article inquiring into whether law enforcement at the Capitol here in Madison, Wisconsin permitted or facilitated a descent into mob rule. This is a very serious question
- whether it's in the political interests of the Republicans to ask it or not!
Obviously, the Democrats don't want to ask the question. Indeed, some Democrats are implicated in the chaos.
We, the people, should demand to know what happened, how it was that thousands of protesters were able to occupy the state Capitol building day and night for weeks and, especially, to storm and retake the building
- after police had cleared them out pursuant to a court order.
It's not that the police did nothing, but they had some kind of policy, and it was quite accommodating to the protesters....
Sorry. I'm a constitutional law professor, and I'm especially interested in all the federalism stuff, but I live in the real world, here in Madison, Wisconsin. I want
- real police, enforcing the law, equally and with a high sense of duty
— not self-interested union enthusiasm."...
