@2, I'm guessing it means getting hit over the head with a police officer's baton.

Get rid of the police union!!! What good does it do for the society? It got so many protections and rights now that they are not even afraid to hide it. Strip officers off their unusual protections and hold them accountable. No more union crap!

Once the union is gone, make each officer sign a promissory note that each will be financially liable for misconduct and that lien will be places on all of officer's family assets!!!! And no more internal affairs circus. Only a 3rd party investigation can fairly investigate a misconduct. Watch the heads roll then. They must know that they are serving and protecting, that they are not special in anyway. Right now they think they are some heroic gods, all on taxpayers' account.

Better be careful about portraying a public employee union in an unfavorable light - you're giving Scott Walker further ammunition.

Cops are nothing more than dumbfuck ex-jarheads that have no other skills than "engaging the enemy" most of them are die hard republiclowns that get their talking points from Glenn Beck and the like. IE: "Gotcha Media"

Seattle being a progressive city means that Seattleites are the cops ideological enemies, any chance they get to take their political frustrations out on the "enemy" will be taken with great eagerness.

The worst part is that when they are caught pulling off their right-wing thuggery, the taxpayers are the ones who have to pay huge settlements to the victims.

Did you guys miss the memo that investigative journalism is dead? Shame on you The Stranger! Not buying-into a self-consciously constructed Conservative narrative is by definition Liberal bias and Bad Journalism.

@8: Walker exempted the police; who else will enforce his dictates? Also, they didn't buy it, they're backing us 100%; if a general strike goes down, WI is going to be a madhouse.
