by DeadState
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is being criticized for what many see as excessive force by his capitol police towards protesters this Monday.
One incident that garnered attention is from a video where police can be seen grabbing an observer and violently throwing him to the ground apparently because the man was filming them.
In the video, protesters were singing If I Had a Hammer when the police entered the rotunda. As the police moved towards the center, Damon Terrell was taking pictures of them while at the same time backing up to make sure he wasnt in their way. Some brief words were exchanged between Terrell and the officers followed by the officers violently tackling Terrell and slamming him on the marble floor.
The video clearly shows that the attack was unprovoked.

(53,475 posts)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!
