Crivitz, Wisconsin police come onto ex-Marine's property and  pull down flag flown in "distress" to protest local government.

Alternet reports

Every freshman who's ever taken a class in civics and government knows that there's no point in having free speech if it only protects popular expression. Apparently, those tasked with enforcing the law in one Wisconsin town aren't aware of that rather simple axiom.

Hours before a Fourth of July parade, four police officers went to Vito Congine's property and removed the flag under the advice of Marinette County District Attorney Allen Brey.
