If we regard them them as alien KGB types, it is not only silly, it reinforces his management style. All of the personality traits you mentioned are human weaknesses common to people in any organization.Garethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-35042464670396157802013-01-14T14:42:47.314-06:002013-01-14T14:42:47.314-06:00Look at the tall cop in back.....He has his hand o...Look at the tall cop in back.....He has his hand on his gun.....What is he thinking!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-78001230618122978652013-01-14T13:51:54.282-06:002013-01-14T13:51:54.282-06:00Get rid of Erwin?

If they blink or even look like they're thinking, they'll be lucky to get a country-bumpkin deputy job.<br /><br />Can't blame them, though, just like the people who worked in the gulags or extermination camps of old, they all got paid for doing their job and falling in line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-34577853123623770192013-01-14T12:42:58.587-06:002013-01-14T12:42:58.587-06:00They don't need their union, anymore.

I don't think this is what they dreamed of when they first considered a career in law enforcement.<br /><br />We need a major class action lawsuit so that we can uncover the political orders behind this police-state repression. To what degree has political spying has been going on? Have the names of protesters been passed on to Homeland Security as terrorist suspects? A vigorous discovery process will uncover a lot of dirt, unless Erwin wants to commit perjury.<br /><br />Republicans see themselves as the ultimate, divinely endowed party of total political power and are thus capable of any political crime. Van Hollen is the ultimate political stooge and not very intelligent. He will leave tracks everywhere. <br /><br />We need a tip-line for whistleblowers, with the contact information readily available to all state employees. I worked for the state for fifteen years and you would be amazed how much interesting information flows past even the lowest level of the workforce.<br /><br /><br /><br />Garethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-44814128202613016212013-01-14T09:46:08.972-06:002013-01-14T09:46:08.972-06:00Erwin's doing exactly what Walker and Huebsch ...Erwin's doing exactly what Walker and Huebsch want him to do. If they wanted him to approach the job differently, he would. The Capitol Police officers have been put in a terrible situation, and one of them will snap one of these days. The one delivering the ticket is actually one of the nice ones (he's also the one at the head of the CP lawsuit against losing their union), but there are others who really seem to relish their new authority.<br /><br />- sueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-90975404983053247952013-01-14T08:36:24.166-06:002013-01-14T08:36:24.166-06:00I think they had to account for that killer dog I think they had to account for that killer dog Jeff Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118335402641807712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-45553118846449337112013-01-14T08:34:22.531-06:002013-01-14T08:34:22.531-06:003 cops to give a ticket to septogenarian??3 cops to give a ticket to septogenarian??sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582415856684023846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-91228166914922668712013-01-14T07:58:15.511-06:002013-01-14T07:58:15.511-06:00Our wonderful tax dollars at work!Our wonderful tax dollars at work!AkasaWolfSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128887650617351563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-15909037235772117522013-01-14T06:30:26.003-06:002013-01-14T06:30:26.003-06:00"Leader" cop hiding behind his shades......"Leader" cop hiding behind his shades....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
