re: #140 jamesfirecat

Yes I do know that.

I honestly don’t care, I don’t think anyone should ever feel ashamed for taking time off from their work to protests attempts to curtail their rights (in this case the right to assemble)

So in other words the reason he didn’t target police officers and fire fighters is that he was afraid they would stop working and protest…

Do I have that right?

I take him at his word. The governor told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the charge that he was exempting police and firefighters for political reasons was “ridiculous.” He said he didn’t recommend changing the rules for police officers and firefighters because he didn’t want public safety work disrupted.

Now that seems really simple to me. If you don’t understand it, I really don’t think anyone make it any clearer.
