Never mind the firefighters, along with cops and state troopers, were exempt from the union busting legislation. They have been protesting since day one with their self described working "brothers and sisters" in the public sector. Monday night, around sixty men and women marched from Madison's Fire Station #1 to the capitol with blankets, pillows and plenty of snacks to spend the night with fellow protesters on the hard marble floor of Wisconsin's capitol. "We just couldn't stand by and let this happen to our brothers and sisters," Mahlon Mitchell, State President of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin (PFFW), said. "We are firefighters, we respond to emergencies, and we are responding to an emergency of the middle class," Click for Full Text!

What middle class are you refering to, the white collar middle class, the bluer collar middle class, or both. There is a differnce between them where their salaries, pentions, bonues..etc., are coming from being discussed here, but I'll wait for your answer.

The Republicans tried to turn one group against the other in Wisconsin - they went after the presumable unpopular teachers but not the cops or firefighters in a divide and conquer gambit. Failed.

You've had that much contact with law enforcement? Why? I don't know why. I'm a good guy that minds my own business and I don't mess with anyone. Except online. My first experience with the pigs was about 1990. I was at a free concert downtown. I had to take a leak. I waited in line at the porta potties. There was a big line. My girlfriend/now wife was ahead of me and she went into the portapotties. She did. Some big fucker came up and got ahead of me and he was going to cut in front of all of us and go next. I told him to wait his turn. He popped me in the mouth and loosened my tooth. My girlfriend came out and I told her to keep an eye on that guy. I didn't want to fight him as I would just get arrested. So I went to find the police. I went and found one of the white shirted ones. His name was Officer TENORE. (google his name its on the net) Anyways he said he was busy. He was just standing there talking to some girls flirting with them. I walked away to find another officer. I couldn't find another one. I went back to him and said "please officer a guy just punched me in the mouth and loosened my tooth and the witnesses are going to leave. He grabbed me and said I was "drunk" and arrested me. He put me in the pati wagon and took me to jail. I beat the asshole Sgt Tenore in court, representing myself. When they took me to jail they never gave me my phone call. There were going to give it to me but I wanted to read what they gave me before I signed it. The pigs in the jail tore it up and threw it away and sent me back to the cell. I was lucky my girlfriend managed to find me and bail me out. They are corrupt. Fuck you retired officer Tenore. Like I said Tenore of the Dayton Police department was a corrupt mother fucker. They should take his pension away and let him rot. A K A Stone  posted on  2011-02-22   21:05:02 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #31. To: A K A Stone (#29) I went and found one of the white shirted ones. I thought you said you had to take a leak? Had you been drinking or imbibing? One incident and you blame the entire law enforcement profession? Ibluafartsky  posted on  2011-02-22   21:12:12 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #35. To: Ibluafartsky (#31) I did drink 1 or 2 beers. I was no where even close to being drunk. Not even a tiny bit. They were like 8 oz cups. Anyway one of my friends mothers was there with her husband, may she RIP. She testified on my behalf. They tried to trip her up. She told them she knows what drunk was and I wasn't even close to drunk. I won the case like I said. That isn't my only encounter with pigs. I know there are some good ones, but not many imo.

If I'm a cop and have had nothing to drink, you probably smelled like a brewery even if you had your claimed one or two. You stated you had to take a leak, but you went off looking for a cop. That doesn't surprise me for some reason. Ibluafartsky  posted on  2011-02-22   23:23:57 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #37. To: Ibluafartsky (#36) I didn't smell like anything. Don't assume things. The fucker loosened my tooth and I did the right thing looking for a cop. I also won the case imo because they never tested me for alcohol. The judge didn't like that. I'm telling the truth. Officer Tenore of Dayton Ohio was one corrupt mother fucker. They should take his pension. He would rather flirt with girls. He never moved from that spot. Fucking asshole. He also lied to the judge saying I was flaying my arms and pulling on him. He was a lying sack of shit.

If you were drinking beer you smelled like beer. The cop may well have been a POS, but why did you have to go to court? Did you get names and numbers of the eyewitnesses?
