Tony Soprano, call your service: Wisconsin cops threaten businesses that don't 'play ball'

Protection rackets are illegal, aren't they.  I mean even if they are run by 'selfless, compassion filled' government employees.  And people get mad at me for calling it fascist.

WISCONSIN UNION BOYCOTT THREATS illegal? What’s more troubling is that the police are involved in making the threats. “I can’t get my head around the concept of police involvement in boycotting businesses. That reads like pure corruption. I can’t believe it’s being done openly. Can someone explain to me how you can even argue that it is acceptable for police to extort political support from citizens?”

I thought Wisconsin was supposed to be 'nice'.  Imagine what the unions will do to people who they disagree with in Illinois?

Of course I have long argued that the police are just bureaucrats with guns.  And they are most definitely NOT on your side.  They're on their side.
