MADISON, Wis. - A Madison police officer was confronted by a crowd and punched after a street fight on Prairie Road Wednesday night, according to a release from Madison police.

The officer stopped in the area of Prairie Road and Jacobs Way around 6:20 p.m. after spotting a large number of people in the street. He said that as he approached he saw a woman punch a man in the face, and he could see that the woman had a can of pepper spray.

The officer said that as he went to arrest the woman he was surrounded by a crowd that was voicing anti-police sentiments, including "We need to start killing these officers."

Police said the woman’s daughter was grabbing the officer while trying to free her mother. The officer said he tried to diffuse the situation by explaining to the crowd that the woman had just punched someone and was armed with pepper spray. Police said his words were ignored, and the struggle with the two people continued.

The older woman punched the officer in the face and grabbed him by the throat, according to the release.

The officer said he could see many in the crowd were recording the incident on their cellphones while some accused him of misconduct and using excessive force.

The officer said he tried to diffuse the situation...

He tried to spread the situation? Why would he try to do that?

Officers are now reduced to reasoning with criminals as to why they are being arrested.

We are in bad shape.

It’s spelled Nanyamka, but it’s pronounced “Throat-warbler mangrove”.

If it’s a Hutu VS Tutsi issue, just keep driving. Nobody can prove what you did or didn’t see. You were distracted by radio/computer/whatever.

For scientists to say that these creatures share the same DNA and are the same species of human as me and my family greatly offends me.
They are a different species. They are not the same species as civilized humans.

Send the police in and have them announce,

“We’re just going to sit here, let y’all ‘do your thang’ and film the whole shebang.

Once you are done, we will call the ambulances & the morgue and check that the Precinct HQ received all the broadcast video,

then we’ll go get coffee & donuts.

See you all at the arraignments & trials.

Have a nice day/night!”

(When Al, Jesse and the local “community organizers” come to see us and BEG us to stop you from killing yourselves off, perhaps we can have a “Beer Summit”. Then we’ll think about it.

If one were to use a Fuel Air Explosive,would that be considered excessive force?
As long as there are no fluorocarbons I guess it would environmentally friendly.

“All Lives Matter” to God. I remember when judges in our neck of the woods gave as part of a sentence attendance at church. All these people need a big dose of Sunday School. This is all so sad what our society has become. It is beginning to make “the days of Noah” and “Sodom and Gomorrah” look like picnics in the park. I fear there is no turning back. . .we have lost our way as a country. May God have mercy.
