Two Wisconsin National Guardsmen filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Wisconsin Dells, its police chief and three officers because they were forced to lap up what was believed to be human urine from the ground last summer.

The guardsmen, both of whom have served two tours of duty in Iraq, were in the Dells for weekend training and were stopped by police officers Wayne W. Thomas and Collin H. Jacobson early the morning of June 1 and accused of having urinated in public, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Madison.

In order to prove that it was not their urine and avoid a citation, Thomas and Jacobson made Anderson and Schiman lick the ground and scrape mud up with their hands and lick it, according to the lawsuit.

A third officer, Scott Albrecht, arrived at the scene and was told by Jacobson, "I can't stop laughing. Wayne just made those two guys lick their own piss off the ground," according to the lawsuit.

10. You only need a 2-year degree from a tech school to qualify for most PDs in Wisconsin.

I've been saying for years that that requirement should be bumped up to requiring a 4-year baccalaureate degree.

4-year schools have a way of weeding out the worst of assholes.

9. You know what I always say....

Fuck the police. But I do have to say this story has something that doesn't quite smell right. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm not paying enough attention, but something seems fishy.
