RAW VIDEO: Fight Breaks Out at a Political Rally in Milwaukee, WI

Citizens for Responsible Government hosted an event at American Serb Hall in Milwaukee, WI that featured a speech by Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker. Walker's appearance resulted in a large protest by AFSCME District Council 48, a union of city employees. They were there to protest the job cuts in Walker's budget proposal. During their rally, anti-union counter-protesters answered with chants of their own, and things escalated. A shoving match lead to a man being thrown violently to the ground by an anti-union activist. Later, another man shouted pro-Walker slogans at the protesters in an attempt to instigate more trouble.

public service unions are frauds, they merely funnel money to politicians who then write these labor contracts. How is that bargaining ? Thats bribery. Us taxpayers have been suckers for too long. Go Scot Walker. Keep up the good work.

this is sad really this is not a protest this is an angry mob of morons sorry if your offended but come on look at it-- dude at the 5:00 marker is just angry but says this is phucking stupid what is more stupid showing up or knowing it is and being humble and calming down.. I will admit this reminds me of the movie red state.. More entertaining but not because these people are human beings.. Dammet if twitter wasn't running slow and on two pcs to laugh be40re the sun implodes well. Peace!

There is no need for collective bargaining in tax funded employees. Go Scott Waker, Great Job, Keep it going and Continue to do what we tax payers asked you to do. Thank You. Keep up the Great Work. No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes,No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, No higher Taxes, ...

DNC_playing_role_in_Wisconsin_­protests. Is Politico run by Fox? I don't have cable TV but if I did I would watch Fox. I am a Conservative. I can't speak for all Conservatives but I think We have strayed to far from our founding fathers visions of a great Country built on personal property rights, Personal responsibility and freedom to be what ever your drive and talent can bring you. I didn't see collective bargaining in there.

@bananabrule A metro sexual is a man usually from large cities that act feminine. I live in Tucson were there are a lot of doped up hippies. What is it about my view of the world that is skewed? Is it my belief in personal responsibility or is it that having collective bargaining for a tax funded employee makes no sense? There is no profit margin to keep in mind in order to keep government jobs going, just tax more and thats how most government organizations determine there budgets.
