  • The skinny jerk with the camera needs to be arrested now.

  • Get up ass hole. Big Baby. You are under arrest and it doesn't matter if you didn't do anything wrong. Good Bye.

  • Its tough for cops cause they will eventually be privitized also and are mostly on the pro labor side here ! Its all friendly and almost yeah we know your making a statement Mentality ! Protests in Madison werent violent cause of the labor respect for the police and Madison is just a chill out place not about violence...hippies, co-ops , Hairy legs...no bras ect. Intellectual community !!

  • just so you know when you tell them you are a "citizen" (14th amendment) what you are really saying is, i am a slave and i waive all my rights.

  • looks like there are no safe donut shops anywhere near the State Capitol building, either...

  • There was no disruption until troopers attempted to remove a person who was legally and quietly videotaping the legislature, as permitted by state law. The signs are illegal, as were the actions of the staff and troopers. No other protester said a word, but all were removed,. All citizens have a legal right to ask for an officer's badge number in any situation. Again, it is the law.

  • They are incredibly brave patriots. These state patrol officers should be arrested. They must KNOW that dragging these citizens out and manhandling them is against the laws of their state. SHAME! Clearly they hurt the man in the beginning by lifting his arms high enough to cause pain when they cuffed them. Since when are they allowed to hurt unarmed, peaceful citizens?

  • there goes our freedom again

  • Damn. Why didn't they arrest that goofy 'badge number' guy too?

  • It would have been cooler if they zapped him.
