He had obviously watched Meade's video and thought he could shoulder his way past the cops without having to wait in line...
Watch the first 6 or 7 seconds a few times. It kinda looks like the Rep. has his hands on the cop's neck/shoulder area before the cop grabs at him. Drunk, maybe?
They'd received advance warning that he had a bar of soap and some deoderant concealed somewhere on his person, and they were atempting to protect the unsuspecting protesters.
Obviously he's one of the violent, pigsty protestors. He should have been head-footed*.
Don't call it 'head stomping,' when if the stompee is a lib.
Horseplay?
Possession of .22 shells with intent to distribute?
The cop thought Milroy was an angel, and wanted a blessing.
Repressed homosexual attraction?
A call to Milroy's office was not immediately returned.
The first rule of fight club is "Don't talk about fight club."
Because the cop finally had it with yet another doofus yelling, Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snag himself one of those gargantuan truss-like, gem-encrusted World Wrestling Council belts.
Let the Greco-Roman Games begin!
TPM's video—and given the source, if there's any sleight of hand in the editing it's going to be in Milroy's favor—shows a man getting in the face of a cop, yelling at him and initiating a physical altercation. It's right there in the first two seconds of the video. So "[w]hy did the Capitol police wrestle state Representative Nick Milroy (D) to the ground?" Well, watch the video, go up to any cop, emulate Milroy's behavior, and see what happens. That's why.
"Ha!" Holmes exclaimed, grabbing the other man and throwing him to the ground with a sudden wrench of his powerful forearms. "You thought to fool me with a pitiful disguise such as that, Moriarty -- ?!?"
Because the cop finally had it with yet another doofus yelling, Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
Just before the altercation captured on video, Milroy had approached the officer and asked, very politely, if he could see the violence inherent in the system. The officer obliged, screaming, "Bloody peasant!"
Context?
CONTEXT!?!?! We don't need no stinking context!
We have a narrative to maintain.
All kidding aside....I'll guess that alcohol was involved, and he was trying to tell the cop how to do his job.
He was having a Cynthia McKinney moment.
Milroy yelled: "Don't tase me, bro!" So, the only other thing that the cop thought of was a take down.
Best two out of three, by the rules.
Howie Carr of the Boston Herald would no doubt cast suspicion on "a bad ice cube". Massachusetts pols have an inordinate number of such episodes.
Why did the Capitol police wrestle state Representative Nick Milroy (D) to the ground?
Good question, except the first few moments of the video show why.
MY question is, "Why did the cop not beat him about the head and shoulders with a nightstick or baton?".
Time for another Beer Summit!
"It was a brief affair, based solely on mutual brute, animal need... and ended, ultimately, the same way it began: with tears, and Streisand albums, and sweaty, disturbingly prolonged full nelsons."
The police thought he was a Democrat Senator returning to make a quorum. "Get this punk on the first boxcar back to Illinois."
"It was a brief affair, based solely on mutual brute, animal need... and ended, ultimately, the same way it began: with tears, and Streisand albums, and sweaty, disturbingly prolonged full nelsons."
They have arranged to continue their blossoming bromance later, with a 6-pack of Natty Light and some Jack Johnson CDs...
A good head stomping was in order.
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
Ohio: Union Goons Led by SEIU Director Storm Restaurant Where GOP Lawmakers Were Dining…
The volatility surrounding the collective-bargaining debate spilled into the night Wednesday when police were called to a German Village restaurant after a group verbally accosted a gathering of Senate Republicans.
...
The commotion eventually led to pushing and shoving with the restaurant staff and owner, before police arrived to calm the situation as a police helicopter hovered overhead. No senators were involved in the physical altercations, and no charges have been filed.
...
LaRose said it didn’t take special intelligence training to notice that while the lawmakers were eating, a woman walked past the window several times, poked her head in the door and got on her cell phone.
“It was planned,” LaRose said. “They gathered as a group and waited until they had about 10 people before they caused a disturbance.”
When the group burst into the restaurant, the woman, Monica Moran, deputy director of public affairs for SEIU District 1199, raised her hands in the air, yelled “Can I have your attention?” and then shouted “something nasty,” LaRose said. Soon after, the rest of the group of men and women joined in with a chant.
“They stormed through my dining room,” said George Stefanidis, owner of the Easy Street Cafe. “I told them they had to leave, and they wouldn’t.”
Brokeback Madison.
Capitol police need to learn new techniques...
Oh oh! I was listening to Thom Hartman or Randi Rhodes or whatever last night. They were so LIVID and ENRAGED about the WI-R Rep who called the union protesters "slobs"!!!! They practically wanted to murder the guy.
It was a pure WWF faked wrestling match with choreographed moves and a faked pin to rouse the dumb and deluded rabble.
Obviously, you need to show your pass to get in, even in Madison and Milwaukee.
Wayne Campbell: So, do you come to Milwaukee often?
Alice Cooper: Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans.
Pete: In fact, isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?
Alice Cooper: Yes, Pete, it is. Actually it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."
Wayne Campbell: I was not aware of that.

Meade - but most of them are.
This is gonna get ugly.
I thought the cops were with the protestors.
Must have thought he was a Republican.
Classless and clueless in Columbus.
Great point Meade. Maybe a few of these cops like Walker, therefore tackling a state rep was in order.
I can just hear the ear piercing shrieking of all the Malkin cry babies if this were a Republican.
Great point Meade.
As you might see, I offered an alternative theory above.
Or the guy initiated the contact. Maybe the drumming drove him crazy.
Meade has a point. Police officers are under laws and must spend their days keeping laws. To analogize to an obedience school trained dog, they first do what they are trained to do. Any sudden switch over to join the Lawless Crowd would make them schizophrenic.
garage-you've been a cry baby for years
Gateway Pundit has the same footage, but (unless I'm going crazy) with an extra couple seconds in the beginning. Sure looks like the Rep. initiated contact with the cop. We'd all be in jail for that, never mind the scuffle that followed.
Kinda like "Not ALL muslims storm buses and shoot U.S. servicemen"
nuance....
Everyone wants to be on the wrestling team these days.
WV: facestop - How does it do that?
Gateway pundit's video has an ad at the beginning. Too long didn't watch.
to answer your question, he's a union member with very little accountability and a cop which means even less accountability. it's more a question of why not.
why was the politician provoking this exemplar of the working middle class who protects your community and children? does the politician hate the children?

Your desperation is showing, garage. A Republican would: 1. show his ID, 2. obey a police order, 3. not initiate contact with an officer, 4. not resist arrest, and 5. would not put on the stunt you see in the video in the first place.
Yes, I'm glad some haven't forgotten how helpful rank speculation about a drinking problem is when you're trying to sort out an altercation like this.
People should think more highly of their personal reputations before they get involved with the police.
Meade's reaction might have been similar to Sam Roxwell's in Galaxy Quest when Tony Shalhoub and "Lalairi" get it on.
The point I was making in my comment above about not all of the police being in on the collusion of the unions, protesters, Democrats was that some of the police don't really care about the politics one way or the other. They are just doing their jobs and they're doing them well: No one enters without proper ID.
A few more stunts like this one and more and more police officers will lose any sympathy they have for the protesters. The troublemakers have arrived but they haven't been planted by Walker and the Koch brothers. They are union thugs, anarchists, and lefty dead-enders. And even, no doubt, a few assemblymen (D).
The cop thought Milroy was an angel, and wanted a blessing.

I nominate pogo for tread win.
He had been grazing on a couple of 19 year old Althousesque coeds, complete with glasses, shoulder-length hair, and pout, and was going back for dessert.
In such a situation, most men would take on an airborne division.
How sad that the base guess about this is that the cops are either pro- or anti- Walker. That should not make any difference. It is because of the public sector unions that we now have to consider – will the police serve and protect based on political afflation and if he/she knows ours? That's one creepy left-wing universe I don't want to live in.

"Just saying" meaning "I have no evidence I can cite for this smear, but I'm going to smugly assume it's true anyway."
Here's the latest from the local teabagging crew (and of course, The Queen and Needy's) favorite polling operation:
The survey of 800 Likely Voters in Wisconsin was conducted on March 2, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports.
The report's telephone survey of Wisconsin voters shows that just 39% favor weakening collective bargaining rights and 52% are opposed.
Among those asked about the state budget deficit, 52% supported the Democrats and 44% supported the Governor.
Among those asked about weakening collective bargaining rights, 56% supported the union and 41% supported the Governor.
Martin L. Shoemaker - The "evidence" Troubled Voter has is that The Queen and her loyal sidekick, Needy have become full blown teabaggers.

The story is up online...he identified himself, showed them his credentials and then refused to let him in. The instance is currently being investigated, although the rep said it's been a long couple of weeks for everyone.
And by the way, if you want to talk about misconstruing context, who can forget about the video of Meade trying to go into the Capitol--the police were absolutely right to deny him entry. He had no credentials and everyone else who wanted to enter the building had to wait in line. Meade tried to make something out of nothing and decided to throw a hissy fit in the process.
On another note, the most entertaining video was when they took down the signs (that shouldn't have been up) from the memorial and confronted the cop about them. 1) Hilarious and 2) I guarantee he just threw them in a dumpster.

Fen "And you still can't suck our balls, perv."
What is it with you teabaggers and your love of sucking on balls?
Have you discussed this with your wives or girlfriends?
Why is the teabaggers here constantly bring up how much the teachers will make (including benefits), as if it's a massive amount of money for the work they do...while at the same time, whining about those who make over $200,000 (individuals; with couples at $250,000) being taxed another 3% (of the additional income)...not being fair, because they're not really "wealthy?"
If those who make $200,00-250,000 are just plain ol' folks, why are the teachers such a greedy bunch?
It's irrational and hypocritical to say the least.
*And by the way; teachers in Wisconsin start at about $25,000.
Another hot under the collar test is the one where the traffic on an overcrowded road starts being directed and stopped by road construction workers, and done in a poor way. Obey them or challenge them? Quick, what is the answer. The solution is for an "Authorized" Sworn Officer in uniform with badge and gun to do the directing.Then everyone is patient and docile. It works for our Church that stops Roswell Road traffic with uniformed Off duty Atlanta Police on Sunday mornings. But what beats all is the Dallas Cowboy's Stadium which uses police officers to completely stop the Interstate going past the stadium to catch a plane at to DFW while the Sunday Game parking lot empties ahead of you.

"They are union thugs, anarchists, and lefty dead-enders. And even, no doubt, a few assemblymen (D)."
In Meade we trust.
In case some of the trollers here didn't see my question to Mr. Meade yesterday, I asked if he had seen in his many travels about the capitol this past week, the much-fabled 'Peaceprints' so ably advertised on folks rear bumpers.
Mr. Meade denied seeing any such 'Peaceprints' laying about.
wv - aircedia
Until you mentioned "peaceprints," don't tread, I had never heard of them.
Still looking. Not saying they aren't somewhere at the Capitol but I have not seen any.

Sorry, Needy, but according to Mr. Milroy, he did in fact show his I.D.:
TPM:
Milroy also offered some more context for what happened Thursday.
According to Milroy, he "just wanted to get into my office to get my personal effects."
When he tried to enter the building, an officer approached him. He showed her his ID, but she told him he was not allowed to enter.
"I said that's ridiculous," Milroy said. He walked by the first officer and showed his ID to a second officer, the one who ended up tackling him. According to Milroy, the first officer began to yell that he wasn't allowed in.
"I told [the second officer] I was a state representative and I needed to get to my office," Milroy said. "I think there was some confusion going on. I think I was being a little more aggressive than I probably should have."
Milroy said he sought out the officer who tackled him later on Thursday.
"I told him I'm sorry it got that far, and it shouldn't have gotten that far," he said. "He told me that he was stressed out, too."
Milroy doesn't blame the officers for what happened, and said law enforcement officers "have been doing an exemplary job" since the protests began. Instead, Milroy places the blame on Walker.
Why did the Capitol police wrestle state Representative Nick Milroy (D) to the ground?
Hmmmmm ... because they could?
Jeremy parrots TPM propaganad: He walked by the first officer and
Bullshit. The video clearly shows he used forced to get by the officer.
You're full of shit, as usual.

Contrary to your numbers via The Weekly Standard...that bastian of teabagger journalism, here are the statistics from "From the Teacher Portal":

Starting Teacher Salary Rank: 49th
Salary raise last year: 4.7%
Salary raise over 10 years: 21.5%
TeacherPortal Salary Comfort Score
28th friendliest state for teachers
Starting Salary: $25,222
Average Salary: $46,390
Adding benefits still doesn't bring the "average" teacher to the $100,000 level.
But of course, you already know that.
Fen - If you don't like the moniker, you and the rest of the idiots you hang with shouldn't have come up with it in the first place.
People who don't do research or think before throwing out such terms usually end up spending their time trying to beg off or explain (Kind of like the Huckster the last few days trying to back away from bald-faced lies about our president.)
Once again:
The Tea Partiers not only invented the term, they did so in order to inflict a similar double entendre onto the President, the Democrats, and liberals in general.
Now, they’re trying to re-cast the term as a slur, on a par with the “n-word,” hurtful to all the Tea Party members who are just ordinary moms, dads, sons, and daughters.
In emails, protest signs, t-shirts, and online, early Tea Party literature urged protesters to “Tea Bag the White House,” and to “Tea-bag the liberal Dems before they tea-bag you.”
The suggestion is that the metaphoric “tea-bags” be shoved in the mouths of the President, Democratic members of Congress, and even ordinary citizens who identify as liberal Democrats.
The idea that they just didn’t know the term’s only (at that time) meaning is belied by the fact that they obviously knew it was negative (and non-consensual), since they didn’t want it done to them, and also because it only had one meaning.
*Keep on suckin' chump.
If those who make $200,00-250,000 are just plain ol' folks, why are the teachers such a greedy bunch?
I know, don't respond to the troll.
However, the difference is between private industry and public/government employees.
The private industry employees are being paid by the private (non-governmental) company. It is their business how much they pay their executives and employees. If we don't like it, we don't have to patronize the company and they will either go out of business or lower their compensation. If the shareholders of the company don't like it, they can band together and vote out the Board of Directors.
It is a private company and I don't give a crap how much they pay their employees because if they pay too much and try to pass the costs on to me, I probably won't be using their product.
Public employees are paid for by all of us tax payers. We have no choice but to pay for their benefits and wages. We also don't get any voice in how much we think is too much.
The public employees can't go out of business. Government doesn't have to play by free market rules because we don't have any alternatives to government. It is a monopoly. They have us over a barrel and can just continue to raise taxes and fees to get more more more.
The difference is private verus government.
Probably a total waste of pixels to feed the troll, but there you have it.
Fen said..."Jeremy parrots TPM propaganad: He walked by the first officer..."

It doesn't matter where the people work...my comment relates to your whining about taxing the "wealthy"...as if making over $250,000 is not out of the ordinary for regular middle-class Americans...and that teachers making $50,000 or so makes them some kind of money grubbing assholes. (And many teachers could obviously make more elsewhere, but instead do what they feel is best for themselves and the students they teach.)
If you want to counter, at least stay in the same ballpark...an why you and the other teabaggers here rag on teachers of all people is pretty strange...even for you idiots.
It doesn't matter where the people work
Yes it does. It makes all the difference where they work and more importantly WHO is paying them.

You can bitch and whine all you want about the teachers somehow screwing you over, but it's nothing but teabagger busllshit and you know it.

Quit pulling crap out of your ass.....it really isn't attractive.

Some teachers actually teach. Others do not.
Unfortunately the Unions prevent us from canning those teachers who are not doing their job or doing a good job.

Although its not like your credibility here could fall any further.

Tell me.
Bunny - "Some teachers are being overpaid. Some are not. Some teachers actually teach. Others do not."
Fine.
What does that have to do with collective bargaining?
Are you saying that every teacher should be on their own? SHould every cop or firefighter also have to handle it on their own, too?
You and I both know that all you really want is to get rid of the unions...period.
Bunny - Try to cram this into your head:
Unions gave us weekends, child labor laws, minimum wage, sick days, vacation, collective bargaining and workers having the ability to earn a living wage.
And I'll bet more than half of the teabaggers here have parents that belonged to unions. Unions that fought for a reasonable wage, and the kinds of benefits that provided insurances and other supportive measures for your family.
Fen - Suck my nuts.
What can the teachers UNION threaten us with. Bad teaching?
It's not a threat...more like a promise.
Unions gave us weekends, child labor laws, minimum wage, sick days, vacation, collective bargaining and workers having the ability to earn a living wage.
Actually no. Most of that is myth.
Regardless, what have you done for me lately? Unions force workers to join their gang if they want to work in that state. Then unions force workers to donate money to crooked Democrat politicans in a kickback scheme that Micheal Corleone would envy.
Imagine that, in order to get a job in your city, you first had to join the RNC and donate $1000 a year to Newt Gingrich. You cool with that?

Of course Milroy is not much better since he has now taken pains to pin the blame on Walker.

The complicated make up and mask of Milroy was removed from the conservative imposter shortly after the video ended. Right?

Mr. Milroy baked his own potato in this case, Julius.

Right. Milroy is the central figure in this incident, then blames Walker. Classic liberal denial of responsibility.

I can't tell from the video, but probably Milroy was wearing a large ID badge around his neck, which is easily visible even at a distance. Or at least it would be, if their CO had enough common sense to station someone somewhere where they could see it before he gets to the door. Putting officers on only one side of a revolving door, & choosing to position them on the INSIDE? Yeah, that's some serious epic fail alright ... pray you never have to rely on the mastermind of this set-up for your personal security.
Due to the visible solidarity of many local police with the protestors, Walker has brought in outside LE who don't know him from Adam - so this incident is directly his responsibility. Nobody is forcing him to fight the unions - & his own fellow representatives - tooth & nail. If this was truly a matter of saving Wisconsin money, he could've amended his measure long ago & saved the state & himself a lot of bad PR: the unions have already caved on all of his cutbacks.
PS: note that the methodological template for training new recruits being used by LE throughout North America is now none other than that bastion of orderly conduct, tolerance & moderation, the LAPD. So if you enjoyed the thrilling action on this video, stay tuned: you could be next!
