Rep. Steve Nass is blaming Capitol police for the escalation of protestors' behavior, claiming the "kid gloves" treatment encouraged disorderly and dangerous conduct.
Apparently, Nass would have liked the police to arrest not only those who were breaking laws, but also those who were peacefully assembling. If the police had treated the protestors like their counterparts did during the Vietnam War era, things never would have escalated. Oh, wait...

Little Stevie must have been kicked off mumma's breast too soon....he seems to constantly need attention.
Well, you and I are reading two different articles. I don't see where Nass called for arresting protestors who were protesting legally. Just thugs who think they can do whatever they want, whereever they want and whenever they want.
Glad the GOP legislators are withholding the money from the Madison PD. They don't deserve the money because of their inactions.
Dan, you haven't kept up with the background details in your former hometown. First, the Madison police have not been "inactive" -- you've been listening to the right-wing echo chamber if you believe that. Secondly, Nass is complaining about the Capitol police -- a completely different jurisdiction, under State control. And there have been numerous arrests of bad actors. It wasn't in the article, but I got to read a DOA incident report back in March which catalogued a variety of arrests inside the Capitol. Frankly, the most "thuggish" behavior came from pro-Walker demonstrators, egged on by former Rep. Dave Zien, and Ron "runs with utility knife" Blair.
Makes me wonder if "operative" Dan knows what a thug is and what really happened at the Capitol.
