Demonstrators crowd Capitol in wild scene after Senate vote (Wisconsin)
Source: Journal Sentinel

Protesters have poured into the Capitol after police stopped guarding at least one entrance and outside doors were opened.

Scott Golueke of Madison said he had watched as demonstrators on the inside of the building attempted to force their way past police to the doors of the State Street entrance of the Capitol. The demonstrators were not using their arms but were attempting to walk through police as the officers attempted to drag them back.

But then the police left and the demonstrators on the inside of the building were able to open the doors, allowing protesters to stream in, he said.
