And, I have seen violence carried out against strikers. Bloody violence involving nightsticks and riot gear, instigated by local police, no less. Funny, how the press showed up to film, just before the cops arrived. Then promptly left as soon as it was over. Orchestrated effort? Sure looked that way to me. And, who could possibly have the financial where-with-all to buy the appropriate officials to set such a thing up, in a "pro-business" red state?

What was the work governor Walker used? "Troublemakers"?
