Even relatively routine misconduct by Ferguson police officers can have significant consequences for the people whose rights are violated. For example, in the summer of 2012, a 32-year-old African-American man sat in his car cooling off after playing basketball in a Ferguson public park. An officer pulled up behind the man’s car, blocking him in, and demanded the man’s Social Security number and identification. Without any cause, the officer accused the man of being a pedophile, referring to the presence of children in the park, and ordered the man out of his car for a pat-down, although the officer had no reason to believe the man was armed. The officer also asked to search the man’s car. The man objected, citing his constitutional rights. In response, the officer arrested the man, reportedly at gunpoint, charging him with eight violations of Ferguson’s municipal code. One charge, Making a False Declaration, was for initially providing the short form of his first name (e.g., “Mike” instead of “Michael”), and an address which, although legitimate, was different from the one on his driver’s license. Another charge was for not wearing a seat belt, even though he was seated in a parked car. The officer also charged the man both with having an expired operator’s license, and with having no operator’s license in his possession. The man told us that, because of these charges, he lost his job as a contractor with the federal government that he had held for years.

Because no one votes.

In the 2013 municipal elections, although 2/3 of Ferguson's citizens are black, only around 6% of black citizens voted. Around 17% of white citizens voted.

Which has led to the dysfunction in Washington.

It's US, the good folk who roll up our collective sleeves and make it work despite the odds.

More ideas another time, but something has to give or we will end up giving our blood, sweat and tears to the Company.

If liberals really had the slightest interest in Justice, DA Chisholm and Judge Kluka would each be removed from office, disbarred, and thrown in prison. Plus all the corrupt cops and FBI Agents.

For those not familiar with the area, 60% of Wisconsin's population resides in the southeast corner of the state, so terrorizing Milwaukee residents and threatening them to silence has an effect statewide.
The statewide population is estimated at 5.7 million, and Milwaukee County is a little under 1 million.
The Milwaukee Police have been corrupt for more than a half century, and the DA's office has been corrupt for almost a century, owned by the mafia until the last DA left.
Yes, just like the Nazis, Milwaukee is a Socialist city, including having the most recent Socialist Mayor of any major us city - which was the end of a very long line of Socialist Mayors.

Menasha, WI had a shooting recently. Guy walked past many people in a Park before opening fire on a scenic bridge/trestle. Woman was shot 3 times, and saw that her husband was fatally shot, as well as her 11 year old daughter, but guides her 2 other children plus some other children off to safety, and directs her son to run for help.

Of note: Shooter had 2 handguns. Was recent Air Force Veteran. Had recently re-enlisted in the Army. Was Freshman at UW-Oshkosh in Criminal Justice Program . Was member of the Menasha Auxiliary Police force.
At the press conference, the Menasha Police Chief stated the name of the shooter once, and then stated that he would refuse to repeat the name.

So, regarding Police State, what kind of criteria is being used to select this type of person to be in the Criminal Justice program, and on the Police Auxiliary force?
