Madison police chief, mayor ask governor to explain 'troubling' statements

[Bfgrn]

Madison's mayor and police chief Thursday called on Gov. Scott Walker to explain statements he made in a secretly recorded phone conversation that he "thought about" planting troublemakers among the thousands of demonstrators at the Capitol.

"Someone in his inner circle raised seriously the possibility of hiring people to come in and apparently create violence in my city," Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said. "I find it appalling, and I want to know who that was."

Tens of thousands of people have demonstrated at the Capitol over the past 11 days, during which Madison police made no arrests. Most of the demonstrators oppose a bill backed by Walker to limit collective bargaining rights for public employees.

Madison Police Chief Noble Wray also said he wanted an explanation from the governor, saying he found it "very unsettling and troubling that anyone would consider creating safety risks for our citizens and law enforcement officers"

so you think that the government using agent provocateurs is a good thing?

um....nobody in the government USED anyone....

perhaps you need to reread the OP....you're obviously for convicting people based on thought alone....

Yurt, you're missing the point here. The fact that it was even considerd, even though the idea was rejected, is not only deeply disturbing but unethical as well.

I don't know, I'm actually encouraged by the fact it was rejected.....that's the kind of change we were hoping for when Republicans took office.....

You consider it encouraging that someone would consider unethical and immoral behavior as long as they reject it? That's pretty warped reasoning PMP.

And Walker don't need to tell either of those clowns anything more than to

PISS OFF.....

No, again, you are missing the point. The fact that it was even considered in the first place shows an alarming lack of character. Fuck rejecting it, it shouldn't have even been on the table for discussion at all, period.

The fact that he was even willing to consider this tells me that the cracks from the pressure are beginning to show on Walker and that he is getting desperate. The tide is turning.

I'm not a practicing Christian but I seem to recall Jesus Christ himself, tempting his Disciples to test their faith....was he guilty of immoral or unethical behavior? Or do I have that story wrong ?

Like hell. Such acts, as what was considered, are illegal. Scott Walker may be the Governor of Wisconsin but he is not above the law. If someone on Walkers staff was proposing a criminal act and a criminal act was considered, even if rejected, then the authorities have a duty to investigate those activities.

bullshit. THOUGHTS are not unethical. whats disturbing is your belief that one cannot entertain an idea and then dismiss it as not good. in your world, how dare anyone THINK.

Bad ideas are put forth every second of every minute by someone somewhere....its irrelevant.....the story is...GOOD TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL...

have you ever been in a business meeting or any other kind of meeting? if someone floats an idea, you can't help but think about it....you can however quash the idea....which is what he did

you're like those mind control freaks in that tom cruise movie

Give me a fucking break. You're trying to tell me that Walker was just "testing people"? That the people of Wisconsin shouldn't be alarmed that their Governor considered committing a crime? That they should find it refreshing that their States chief law enforcement officer considered committing a crime but fucking rejected the idea?

I don't know what fucked up world you live in but if my Governor is considering committing a crime of any kind, I would find the notion deeply disturbing!

I mean think how fucked up that is on a personal level? "Hey my kid considered robbing a gas station today but rejected the idea. Isn't that refreshing?"

Give me a fucking break man.
