Madison protester Damon Terrell charged with felony, needs our help

Damon Terrell is being charged with a Felony when he did nothing wrong... He currently sits in jail with no chance of bail... We NEED people to call and e-mail Deputy District Attorney Chris Freeman (who should have Damon's case), and ask that Damon Terrell get an arraignment right away... This is vitally important... His e-mail is christopher.freeman@da.wi.gov and his number is 608-267-8874... And please SHARE, thanks!

You can see the Capitol police taking Damon down in these videos. His actions were peaceful yet he is the one being charged. Please help.

Is this some kind of totalitarian fascist police state, or what?

I hope we get to see the outcome of this injustice in the form of the state being tried for police brutality. OR maybe denying the Constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech and freedom to assemble?

Oh, my bad. Those Constitutional Rights are CURRENTLY INOPERATIVE.

I checked CCAP and I don't see anything about his arrest. What I do see are a number of citations for disorderly conduct and obstructing an officer in the last several years. Almost all of these were dismissed. It looks to me like Damon has been a "thorn" in their side for some time and they are pissed off that their citations keep getting dismissed. So I think the capitol cops have singled him out as an activist and are planning to use spurious charges as an attempt to silence people. Look for more of this.
