Milwaukee police chief above the law

Can't find this posted anywhere else and just read it linked from cnn (believe it or not).

Synopsis: guy open-carrying in Milwaukee area was arrested. Further investigation showed it is not illegal to open carry there. State AG releases a statement indicating same and that people who are not causing a commotion should not be arrested or bothered for open carry. Milwaukee police chief openly states that anyone who is open carrying will be "taken down" and then they'll investigate to see if that person is allowed to carry.

So, the law has been tested, precedent set, clarifying statement by the state AG, and the police chief says, "I'll assault whoever I want to assault; what you gonna do about it?!" I can't believe this! I'm thinking someone is about to get very rich. I wish I could get to Milwaukee this afternoon to win that lottery. What a pinhead. Is there something I'm missing here? As someone mentioned, they should spread the wealth and have a BIG protest with a few hundred people open carrying in front of the police station, peacefully of course. Maybe just walk up and down the street w/o a sign and saying nothing. Then when you get arrested, lots of people get to share the proceeds from the Milwaukee taxpayers and maybe the next person will think before he advertises his stupidity, or else his superiors will immediately suspend him before they lose their shirts.

I can't believe this!
