[ In re: Basel Police Director Johannes Wieland : "Wieland had served and fought under Emperor Napoleon. His values were shaped by military order and the principle of authority and obedience. Ideals that ran counter to the new liberal currents. Since Wieland did not hold back with his conservative sentiments, and in 1831 commanded the military march of Basel troops against the rebellious landscape, he became an unpopular Basel citizen and an object of hate in the radical liberal press. Wieland led military expeditions of the Basel troops to the countryside several times. After such a march, in January 183 1 he even went so far as to say that the rebellion in the country was now over. When he last marched out in August 1831, the otherwise energetic man appeared unfocused and powerless. The inglorious little campaign with an exchange of fire in Liestal had little effect. .,.The fact that the military he so valued revealed itself to be a useless instrument during the uprising in the countryside increased his frustration. .,." - translation from altbasel website.
