Caught On Video: A pair of Wisconsin police officers on a crazed power trip show up at a woman’s home because she “violated a state order” by allowing her daughter to play at a neighbor’s house pic.twitter.com/JTtogvoE1X

Understandably, this video has received a great deal of attention given the draconian measures ordered by Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers.
Calumet County Sheriff Mark Weigert addressed the disturbing video, issuing a statement.
April 30, 2020I don't blame the deputies.

From: Sheriff Mark Wiegert
RE: Response to Video
A recent video circulating on the internet involving two of our deputies has resulted in numerous calls, comments and questions from the public. We want to further clarify our approach and response to this situation and others county-wide as it pertains to the Governor’s Safer at Home order.
Please note that this situation did not originate or continue as a response to a violation of the Safer at Home order. Our deputies are out there to help educate, not arrest, law abiding citizens. To date, we have issued zero citations, made zero arrests, and have not made any referrals to the District Attorney’s Office relating to the Safer at Home order. Most people are adhering to the Safer at Home order, and we have received very few complaints from the public.
Our deputies wear many hats on a daily basis such as being an investigator, enforcer, peace maker, and counselor, to name a few. Our deputies have a tough job and sometimes they have to wear many of these hats during the same call. The referenced situation is just one example.
Thank You to the citizens of Calumet County for your support of both me and our deputies.
I blame out of control Democrat Tony Evers for his unreasonable edicts.
Of course, some people are having difficulty tolerating conditions in Wisconsin.
