... she was harassed while collecting signatures outside the local Post Office. The harasser demanded to know "why" and when she declined to engage him in debate, he refused to allow her to close the door to her truck. She eventually did manage to get it closed, then took the guy's pic.

Afterwards, she called the cops, told them what happened and that if he showed up again, she was calling 911.

The local police were very supportive and made it clear they're on her side of the political question, but that it didn't matter. Rights are rights. Harassment is harassment.

I don't know a single cop who still supports Walker, and I know more than a handful of cops.

Perhaps a civil suit is in order in the Oshkosh case?
