Law enforcement officers in Phoenix, Arizona used tear gas to break up a sizable group of protesters outside the state's Senate building following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade.

"Protesters threatened to break the AZ Senate entryway glass," Republican Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers tweeted, as members were in the middle of voting on a series of bills.

The situation escalated into a "hostage" situation as lawmakers were instructed not to exit the building, Republican Arizona State Senator Kelly Townsend said.

"We are currently there being held hostage inside the Senate building due to members of the public trying to breach our security," Townsend tweeted Friday night. "We smell tear gas and the children of one of the members are in the office sobbing with fear."

"I expect a J24 committee to be created immediately," she added, referencing the January 6 committee that is investigating the insurrection of the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.

According to the lawmakers, law enforcement officers then deployed tear gas to disperse the crowds and regain control of the building.

"Crowd was dispersed with tear gas." Rogers added, noting the protests were still continuing and the situation remained "very dangerous."

Another lawmaker confirmed the use of tear gas outside the building.

"While working inside we were interrupted by the sound of bangs and smell of tear gas," Rep. Sarah Liguori tweeted Friday evening. "Protestors cleared from the Capitol."

Heavily-armed officers were seen in and around the legislative building.

Will they all spend a year in prison before being charged?

Could it have been a Conservative SCOTUS clerk who leaked it?

No. To quote Roberto Goizueta the then-CEO of Coca-Cola responding to suggestions that he brought out "New Coke" to drum up love for a triumphant return of "Coke Classic",

We aren't that smart, and we aren't that stupid.

Besides that, the inclination is to be honorable and law abiding.

The argument that New Coke was created to drum up more interest for old Coke was first made by Sergio Zyman, who was in charge of marketing in the mid-80s, who used it as an argument to justify his failed tenure in the press.

If he made it, he was bs-ing. You don't play that level of high stakes bingo with an iconic brand to pull a couple of points from a competitor who was neck and neck in the supermarkets, but miles behind in restaurants and services venues. I wouldn't believe a man who pulled this in the first place.

If McDonald's got wind of that, for instance, they would have been FURIOUS, as now you are playing with THEIR business. The independent bottlers and distributors also wouldn't be on board. Coca-Cola, Inc. had no idea what was coming, and the company tried desperate ad campaigns to push "new" Coke, spending way too much money for this to be a stunt. Goizueta, who RAN THE COMPANY, drank new Coke to his early end, which is part of the reason it stuck around as long as it did.
