This may also frost your patience, but there’s a reason for the Wisconsin governor’s response.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin governor activated the National Guard after two statues (one of them an Abolitionist\/Civil War officer who fought on the side of the Union) were toppled by rioters and a state senator was injured by the rioters when he tried to take a cellphone video of them.<\/p>\n

From the article:\u00a0 \u00a0MADISON, Wis. \u2014 Wisconsin\u2019s governor activated the National Guard on Wednesday to protect state properties after a night of violence that included the toppling of two statues outside the state Capitol, one of which commemorated an abolitionist Civil War hero.<\/p>\n

Protesters also attacked a state senator, threw a Molotov cocktail into a government building and attempted to break into the Capitol Tuesday night, only to be repelled by pepper spray from police stationed inside. The violence broke out as a group of 200 to 300 people protested the arrest of a Black man who shouted at restaurant customers through a megaphone while carrying a baseball bat.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, about 40 people gathered peacefully outside the county jail where the man was being held, calling for his release. A crowd of about 100 people congregated outside the Capitol, where one of the statues used to stand, as Madison police watched. There was no sign of the National Guard.<\/p>\n

Gov. Tony Evers, who toured the damage from Tuesday night and said the violence was in \u201cstark contrast\u201d to earlier peaceful protests, said he was activating the National Guard \u201cto make sure people can exercise their First Amendment rights while ensuring the safety of members of the public and state buildings and infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your goal was to advance social justice and policing reforms in the state of Wisconsin and making sure systemic racism is a thing of the past, you failed,\u201d Evers said of the protesters on WTMJ-AM. – article<\/p>\n

Sit through the Sheriff’s address (video embedded in the article) to the media. It’s worth it.\u00a0 There was no reason to do what those people do, but they are attacking statues of anything including war heroes, period, and they don’t care which side those veterans represented in any war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
