I just read on another forum the local police issued a statement to the effect that NO ARRESTS, of those refusing to leave, will be taking place today.
Yeah, that’s the interesting question. The usual rule is that the individual in control of the property requests the trespasser to leave, then makes the arrest when he refuses. You’d think that’d be the Capitol Police. In circumstances (such as this) where they don’t have the ability to incarcerate, they then turn the arrested party over to law enforcement. In many jurisdictions, the jail is operated by the Sheriff, not the police, so there may be a direct route from the Capitol Police to the Sheriff’s department, bypassing the Madison Police. Guess I’m going to do some digging on Madison enforcement.
The good old days, when we were a Nation of Laws.
Imagine if it was Tea Party Patriots taking over a Government Building. Does anyone here think that the Police would be handling it the same way?
Let’s face facts, the only Second Class Citizens in this Country are Conservatives and true Christians.
Why would the idiots ever leave then? this kid-gloves approach won’t do jack!
