Citizens need to make these actions very expensive for the city of Milwaukee.
Ah, the Milwaukee Gestapo is on the job.
It is sometimes joked that if somebody really tries to be a really Uebermenschen Teutonic type, the natural reaction is to ask, “Are your from Milwaukee?”
Milwaukee has been one of the most socialist of cities in the US for years, and they pattern their governing behavior after the Otto von Bismarck model, which was also the blueprint adopted by the National Socialists under Adolf Hitler.

I thank God for organizations like Oathkeepers, and the fact I do not have to deal with the public at my job like a law enforcement offices.
Cases like this force good LEOs with an understanding of the authority of the constitution have to consider making hard choices, and groups like Oathkeepers have already thought this through and plan to do the right thing.
offices = officers
I, for one, would be curious as to what Ms. Sutterfield had in mind when she was openly carrying a firearm at 1:00am outside a coffee shop. If she was waiting for a friend who worked there it's one thing. If she was waiting for the person with the day's receipts, it's altogether a different kettle of fish. Fighting with the cops was her next big mistake.
Let the flame wars commence!

Read the article. Last time she was wrongfully arrested, she had come from CHURCH.
This is the Milwaukee Gestapo carrying out their pogrom against gun owners.

She may have been "arrested" but the case(s) never went to trial. I checked her record and no gun related charges have been ever been adjudicated against her.
As to Milwaukee "Gestapo" carrying out a "pogrom", it is always better to avoid using words charged with powerful negative emotions when you are trying to change someones opinion. I believe the operative word in a concealed carry law is "concealed". If she had her weapon out of sight she would have avoided the confrontation and subsequent arrest. No municipal police department is going to be comfortable with "open" carry because they are charged with maintaining order. By forcing the issue she only guaranteed a confrontation for no good end.
I would have preferred "Constitutional Carry" with no fees and no government paperwork but we got what we got and I'll settle for that. If we had CC I still would advocate carrying concealed as open carry in an urban environment is just thumbing your nose at the local constabulary and asking for trouble which neither of you really need.

Who cares what the muni cops are "comfortable" with? Open carry is the LAW in Wisconsin. They better deal with it, or get out of the cop business. The 2nd Amendment is a fundamental right, and bearing arms means open carry.
Fine, do it your way, I'll stick with mine. I can guarantee you that your intransigent attitude will land you a citation at the very least and may very well lead to an early demise. You can "open carry" anywhere you like as long as you are prepared to be "dead wrong" about cops "dealing" with your rights.
