@mikecorbeil I would hope they would stand up, but you never know.

Very good statement. I don't think it's likely that Wisconsin NG would accept to act against the rightfully protesting public sector workers when the police and firefighters are standing very fully with the protesters, but maybe my guess will be proven wrong. That shouldn't happen though.
