Protestors claim Milwaukee police tackled them as they protest on I-43 again tonite

Sheriff says they block the freeway... estimates of 30 arrests made. (on edit: this estimate was made by protest members)



The protests are in anticipation of AG's ruling on whether police officer fired for shooting black man, Dantrae Hamilton will be indicted. No decision has been announced at this time

Sheriff (notorious David Clarke jr.) calls protestors anarchists and suggests the leaders are 'outsiders'. Officers mounted on horseback now blocking access to police (on edit corrected from sheriff) headquarters.

Gov. Walker has alerted WI National Guard earlier this week that they may be required for disturbances related to the revealing of the decision.
