“If you see something, say something” is the new anti-terrorism, anti-mass shooting strategy being adopted by the State of Wisconsin. Governor Scott Walker is encouraging residents to contact law enforcement if they see anything “out of the ordinary”–as it could foil a planned attack. Unfortunately, this “citizen crimefighter” approach is overly-simplistic–and will likely lead to…… READ MORE
