I have no problem with Govenor calling out the Gaurd if the State Police decide they will listen to their Union fat cat leaders instead of their Boss. If the Union Punks want to play rough bring it on...........lets not denigrate Honest Hard Working Americans by using that to describe these Tax Payer supported prima dona's..
"On any given day in the Control Center, you will probably find me serving as the radio dispatcher for about 130 security staff transmitting on 10 separate channels, directing emergency first responders, arranging security escorts for a myriad of (sic) visitors including chapel volunteers, judges, attorneys, detectives and parole officers. As the Control Center Sergeant, I am the primary trainer for all the systems I mentioned above. . .
Like most Wisconsin CO's, I work on five out of every seven weekends with no regard for national holidays or religious sabbaths. Most of the posts in our joint are manned 24-7. We have ample opportunuties to work overtime, so ample in fact, that oftentimes the Shift Captain will have to order the most junior officers to work double shifts or even come in on their scheduled days off. At some Wisconsin prisons it is not unusual for a new officer to go for months without a day off, working doubles and wondering why they took this crazy job. The high stress level and punishing hours lead to high turnover. Those who stick it out pay a price. The strain on one's health and personal relationships is brutal. Well over half of the CO's I know have been divorced at least once and four of them have committed suicide."
Yeah, sounds like a bunch of slackers to me.
I'll tell you what, I am ANGRY about this crap. I am SICK AND TIRED of Americans calling their fellow Americans "slugs" and "leeches" and "thugs".
There is NO EXCUSE.
None.
It's repugnant and disrespectful. Especially so when the people who are being called those things are the people who are educating our children, putting out our house fires, patrolling our streets to protect us from criminals, guarding our prisoners, healing our sick, caring for our elderly and basically serving our communities in dozens of different jobs.
For the life of me I cannot fathom how people can speak so ill of others, just because they have the temerity to bargain collectively for their pay and benefits.
Republicans ought to be utterly ashamed of themselves. The way they are treating people who work for the state of Wisconsin is UNAMERICAN. If I had any way of getting to Wisconsin tonight, I'd be right alongside the protesters. I am so sorry I cannot be there.
How does this affect Walker? His campaign is over...so he doesn't need any more donations.
He is a courageous guy, doing what is right for tax payers without regard for the political consequences.
