Note To WI Capitol Police: The Whole World Is Watching

Walker's cops in action as a group, against a bystander. This is a civil liberties emergency, and it is escalating. Where is the US Justice Department?

And the message is being sent up north, too:

I've been rereading John Dean's Conservatives Without Conscience - - his spot-on book about the right's growing authoritarianism - - and almost on cue, GTAC mining today adds a hostile letter about site access for a water expert to a public face already distorted by images of assault-rifle toting guards. (Video here).

Hard to know if GTAC is inspired by the arrests at the State Capitol, or if the Walker administration is emboldened by GTAC.
