Police did wrong. They did not remove everything from his record. I hope he wins. Money seems to be one of the few things that makes a city change its ways.

Video and audio evidence and a first hand account from the media is sure going to help him I bet.

One user--Jen67 wrote that Mr. Krause had "made his point, and to stop wasting her property tax dollars and those of other West Allis taxpayers"....Obviously he had not made his point--because if the point had been made the police would not conduct themselves in the fashion they do.

I hope he takes them to the cleaners--all they understand is (a) loss of their jobs and (b) loss of money in lawsuits.

If the police would respect the rights of the people then there wouldn't be a need to sue. They can't stand it when a citizen stands up for him/herself. If the people would hold their employees accountable maybe this would not have happened to begin with.

A day late and a dollar short imo. I mean, why wait so long? ...

IMO there will be a string of judicial wins for us in the near future and Brad is just riding the wave. His case appears to have merit if the details of the article were correct.

IMO he needs to lawyer-up though. Its spendy but it could make the difference when the litigation begins unless the defendants attempt a settlement.

I agree. I think the timing is just right, coming on the heels of Mc Donald and a changing political climate that will be more supportive of individual's rights. A few wins of civil suits will help keep the pressure on for the authorities to operate within the limits of the law. We need to help the 'spin' be against the idea of money hungry lawsuits, but to keep the topic on the civil rights violations and the plaintiffs right to damages.

Good luck Brad!
They need some education, especially since they _repeatedly_ harassed you.

(There really needs to be a "whistling innocently" smiley. BTW, where did the smiley list go?)

The difference between good guys and bad guys

"...Contrast that with the scenario played out on Aug. 15 down in SeaTac, where dozens of open carry activists gathered at an apartment complex for an annual barbecue. There were lots of people, both male and female, legally packing firearms, having a good time, and nobody suffered so much as a scratch. These are the good guys."

I know that Brad does check this forum from time to time, and I just wanted to wish him good luck in his case. His arrest was what woke me up to the gun rights fight. All this from a man just digging a hole in his yard...

Yeah sometimes it's something simple that kicks off a movement and progress.

We thank you West Allis. Really.
