If he’s falsely touting a powerless badge as some sign of his authority, what’s stopping the 1,000 people with “I’m with Walker” badges from doing the same? The Republican Party that Walker belongs to is a mostly white party with many members who widely and repeatedly throw their support behind white vigilantes who kill. Conservatives’ celebration of extrajudicial violence committed by white people — men especially — is clear in the. Conservatives clearly don’t think badges — or the legal authority they imply — are even necessary for someone to mete out justifiable violence.
Which makes Walker’s behavior all the more inexcusable: He’s putting on an act without caring how it will ultimately end or whom it will affect.He has run an infantile campaign, and that’s before you get to the fact he’s now literally playing with toys.
