Not sure if this is true or not (scary if it is) but the the deputy AG for Indiana said live ammo should be used on the protesters. You would think that a AG would be more familiar with the COTUS.
Deputy AG
If the above is true it sounds like an admission of guilt and in my opinion, grounds for termination.

Seems like Walker might have a few issues he needs to deal with now.
Wisconsin gov. pranked by caller posing as donor
On the call, Walker talks about speaking with Democratic Sen. Tim Cullen, one of the Democrats hiding in Illinois to stop the bill, and telling Cullen he would not budge. After Walker said he would be willing to meet with Democratic leaders, the caller said he would bring "a baseball bat." Walker laughed and responded that he had "a slugger with my name on it."
The caller suggested he was thinking about "planting some troublemakers" among the protesters, and Walker said he had thought about doing that but declined. Walker said the protests eventually would die because the media would stop covering them.

I don't think myself, as a "Tax-payer" and others , should be held hostage by any union !

Typical union mentality...
National Education Association’s retiring top lawyer, Bob Chanin, speaking at the NEA’s annual meeting in July, 2009:
“Despite what some among us would like to believe
it is not because of our creative ideas.
It is not because of the merit of our positions.
It is not because we care about children
and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child.
NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.”
“And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year,
because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them,
the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.”
“This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps,
reducing dropout rates, improving teacher quality and the like are unimportant or inappropriate.
To the contrary. These are the goals that guide the work we do.
But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights and collective bargaining.
That simply is too high a price to pay.”
