According to King Doyle (governor of Wisconsin), Wisconsinites don't need concealled carry permits because open carry is legal here. He reinforced that statement by slapping his own holstered pistol as he said it.
J.B. Van Hollen (State Attorney General) released a statement reaffirming the open carry laws in Wisconsin and sent a memo to the attorneys general in the stating that open carry alone is not a justification for arrest of the person or seizure of private property.
The Chief of Police of Milwaukee apparently thinks that his bigotry takes precedence over the laws of the city, state or the US Constitution.
Chief of Police Ed Flynn has ordered the police officers under his command to "take down anyone with a firearm despite Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen's finding that people can carry guns openly if they do it peacefully."
In other words, he has no more respect for the law than the gang bangers that plague the city. He doesn't give a flying fig about anyone's rights, nor the rule of law. He is a parasite, abusing his position to harrass law abiding citizens simply to satisfy his own, unconstitutional agenda.
"If you're carrying a gun in Milwaukee, you're going to comply with our lawful orders. Unless, you're going to have your permit tattooed to your head, I don't know how you're going to get around that"
Mr. Flynn... what is lawful about a police order that violates the law and the Constitutional rights of the person being ordered?
What good is a chief of police who openly admits he has no respect for the law?

OUCH! Apparently the term "insubordination" means nothing to him. I would agrea with you, this man needs to have the AG bring charges against him. but he should also be imediatly fired. I would start with the city council, present his staements to them, bring people who have been harrassed by his policies in for statements, do everything you guys can. This guy just needs to go.

This really is a disgusting abuse of power. This guy needs to be fired and brought up on criminal charges. At the very least he's violating the 2nd, and 4th amendments not to mention the law of his own state. It's the attorney general's JOB at this point to have him arrested and tried. The citizens of Wisconsin have to stand up and make this happen.

In most professions, if you completely ignore the directives of your boss and top it off by announcing to the world that you are going to do things your way in direct opposition to his decisions, you're fired immediately. My only questions is why is this man still wearing a uniform?

Holy freaking crap! That guy needs to be removed from his position and face criminal charges. What are the PEOPLE of Milwaukee saying about this? They should be outraged, but I know lately there is an apathy growing rampant in this country as government officials tread on the rights of private citizens.
