For background on the shooting: "Wisconsin officer kills man armed with knife, police say, as shooting sparks protests/Madison police said that after a chase and a struggle, a man who was being sought pulled out a knife and injured an officer, which led to the deadly shooting" (NBC News)("Videos of the shooting were captured by bystanders and were circulated online. One of them, verified by NBC News, appears to show officers holding on to the man as someone yells, 'Let go!' Multiple shouts of 'He’s got a knife!' can be heard....The shooting was not captured on body camera video, which the Madison Police Department does not widely use").
ADDED: Interrupting the Concerts on the Square can't be the best way to win over moderates. It was a beautiful day and this is an extremely well-established and much-loved Madison tradition:

It's cool for the DSA nutjobs to win in deep blue enclaves in ultra low turnout elections. Go ahead and have you fun. But running one in a purplish state for governor is going to bite you in the ass.
C’mon… he STABBED the officer. Say it… SAY IT!!!
The Madison cops as bad as ICE? Noooooooooooo!
You cannot hate the anti-police politicians enough.
She went on Hasan Piker's show. Piker's a madman who celebrates 9/11 and thinks Mao was a great leader. Also he shocks his dog.
She wants to defund the police and abolish prisons. And she wants to put up a statue of Scott Walker for people to destroy.
Vote for 2 minute hate in Wisconsin!
I believe the word is “stuck”, Iman. That’s what they said Karmelo Anthony did when he was disturbed from minding his own business. In Madison, this guy was just riding around checking to make sure people lock their car doors when the police interrupted him.
The question for me is, do these people really believe the BS they spout, or is it mostly opportunistic role playing? Because if they really think that way, God help us all.
Well...she seems pretty gutless.
Wanted man, pulls out knife and stabs officer. Gets shot.
Gotta say, this used to be normal results when you are a wanted man who runs from police, then turns and stabs the cop trying to bring you in.
This would be a Tuesday in any major city a few years ago. Now? Now it's a 'state sponsored execution'? Please.
If this is what the left intends to keep running on, let them. And good luck to you Madisonians if this becomes your next Governor. We've got more room for Wisconsinites here in Florida.
I am assuming Temujin actually lives in Texas or other red state: "We've got more room for Wisconsinites here in Florida."
"And good luck to you Madisonians if this becomes your next Governor."
Not just Madisonians.
The "Defund the Police" crowd want to replace local and state police with a Federal police force. "Stasi" would describe that well.
Tom Tiffany, Republican running for governor, is quoted in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"Francesca Hong willingly appeared on the livestream of someone who has said America 'deserved 9/11,' praised Hezbollah terrorists and claimed, 'It doesn’t matter if rapes happened on October 7,'" Tiffany said in a statement. "If the other Democrat candidates for governor refuse to condemn these statements, they’re making one thing clear: this is the extremism today’s Democrat Party fully embraces."
She raised $57,000 doing the interview, so it's not like Piker helped much with the fund-raising. I don't think you could buy a 30-second ad on a soap opera for $57,000.
Apparently Politico sampled a list of Democrats who might run for president in 2028, to ask them if they would appear on Piker's show.
God Almighty, that's pathetic. And disturbing.
We live in such spineless times.
What are all those people at the tables waiting for? The police to come and make it stop?
Are there moderates in Madison/Dane County?
There are, but few and far between.
I’ve lived in Dane County for decades. You have to really search for moderates.
Also, my husband worked at a local hospital for decades and at one point there was a hospital wide memo that went out that said stated employees needed to stop talking politics in the while in the presence of patients. Patients had been complaining about how they were worried if they would be taken care of appropriately if they had different political beliefs. And trust me, it was ALWAYS the DEMS who were sharing their opinions anywhere and everywhere.
Here Piker is, dressed like Chairman Mao.
The guy would have been a lot safer if he hadn’t pulled a knife on the cops.
"Bob Boyd said...

Madison has a thing called Concerts on the Square. Those people were there to watch the concert. The protesters shut it down...well technically the Symphony shut it down in support of the protesters. Being the cowards they are.
Enjoy until you vote for real politicians who appoint real police.
You created this.
Tough for your brunch being disturbed. You think they made a mistake disrupting you? No, they dominated and forced you to choose between submission or dumb justification.
The WaPo on Hong.
Wisconsin has a long history of socialism. For much of the first half of the 20th century, Milwaukee was led by socialist mayors who championed “sewer socialism” by focusing on infrastructure and public housing. Wisconsin voters elected a socialist to Congress and sent others to the state legislature.
In her convention speech, Hong cited progressive iconoclasts like Robert “Fighting Bob” LaFollette, a representative, governor and senator more than a century ago who “imagined a better world and fought like hell to realize it.”
Yeah, but did those socialists hate the Jews?
She found new progressive allies last month by appearing on streams with Piker and Michael Beyer, who is known as Mike from PA. Piker has said he would “vote for Hamas over Israel every single time,” and Beyer has said Jewishness is a “demonic ethnicity, wholly invented.”
Hong “is willing to sell out the Jews of Wisconsin for a few bucks,” Ann Jacobs, chair of the state Democratic Party’s Jewish caucus, said in a post on social media.
Yeah, she sold her soul for $57,000. That's not even Wales.
I believe Nate Silver has just documented what's going on in places like Madison:
"Liberal polling analyst Nate Silver has crunched the numbers and believes he has found a distinct demographic that becomes attracted to the ideas of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). You may be unsurprised to learn that higher education plays a key role.
According to Silver, the DSA attracts people who are highly educated, yet lack upward mobility. They feel they are owed success because of their credentials."
"Madison has a thing called Concerts on the Square. Those people were there to watch the concert. The protesters shut it down..."
I understand that. Althouse explained that. What I'm wondering is, why do they continue to sit there and endure all that shouting, unable to even converse? It's obvious there isn't going to be a symphony or an enjoyable time. What are they waiting for? Everyone is afraid to be the first one to get up and leave?
Enjoy your traditions while you can. Anyword on how the officer protecting you from these facist thugs is doing?
Pick a fucking side.
The left's propaganda machine is trying out candidates for their election year martyr & fundraising goals although it appears this isn't working as well as it used to in previous years. Is diversity fatigue real after all?

Sorry, that was added and I missed it. I've seen other video, and I believe the one posted here was before the symphony cancelled the concert.
I have zero sympathy for the people at the tables and their ruined concert. They brought this on themselves. If they could, those protestors would kill them where they sit. But they just sit there, the good people. They don't know what to do or think. They can't come to a consensus with all that racket.
Love the blue jumpsuit. A subtle homage to Maoist pajamas
Dead the Dumbfuck Ruiz had a long track record of crime, including violent crime. That said, he had to know nothing much would happen to him. Why did he resist and stab the officer?

They are just a subset of the white Madison liberal. Look at the police chief and mayor's statements. Look at Hong's. None of them are going to support the police. The best any of them are capable of is to do nothing.
If they are against police intervention for violence, and against police action at all, then I guess they would continue to 'not mind' if they are the target of such violence? No complaints would follow, no charges would be filed?
They're counting on you to be law-abiding, so they don't have to be.
I looked into the shooting, and it seems the man killed was called Corey Ruiz and he's entered into the system as "White" even though his picture shows he's obviously not. You gotta wonder how many "White" criminals in the Criminal Justice stats are actually black/brown. Because the leftists in charge of the Police and Prosecutors offices in Blue Cities WILL lie.
Is that a protest or the cast of the Oddysee?
"They're counting on you to be law-abiding, so they don't have to be."
Correct. The Democrats want to abolish prisons because they hope to build their anti-American revolutionary army with the released inmates -- which is exactly how Castro came to power in Cuba.
G.O.P. Appears to Boost Socialist’s Primary Campaign for Wisconsin Governor ~ NYT
'Republicans seem to view Francesca Hong as their weakest opponent in a general election. They are spending $2.2 million in an apparent attempt to aid her primary campaign.'
Saying things people want to hear and proving your ability to lead are two different things. She is raised much less money than the other principal candidates and has no previous statewide campaigning experience.
Hong was recently polling in the 20s. A solid showing in a crowded field, but if there is any consolidation, she's not going to win. Progressive policies are broadly popular, with most of the pillars having majority support. But the branding is off, and the "socialist" tag does not help. Democrats with money will start spending heavily in the final month of the race to try to make sure one of the Hong alternatives moves on.
At least Hong reserves most of her criticism for her natural enemies rather than her natural allies, as so many on the left compulsively do. She deserves respect for that.
All cultures are equal...until you actually get a first-hand experience of some of those other cultures in your own Concert on the Square.
Its interesting that the number 1 issue that motives the black community is the police killing crooks. if only the police would let the crooks alone and mind their own business, the black community would be fine.
For some reason black crooks refuse to obey police authority. The asians do. The whites do. The Hispanics mostly do. But black crooks don't. That's why they're always getting shot. And that's the fault of the police. Because.
Get ready Ann, she will be your next governor.
Look at the women listening to Ms. Hong at the street protest and well-to-do women sitting at the concert tables. What a contrast!
Mid-terms are coming. Another scoundrel must be anointed to play their intended part.
Clear cut SD shooting... pull a knife and cut a cop... get shot. Who would have thought it possible?
*Interrupting the Concerts on the Square can't be the best way to win over moderates.*
Do moderates actually exist in Madison? Anyway, them's the breaks, pampered, isolated, elitist liberals. This is the environment you promote and vote for, so swim in it and stop complaining.
"Is that a protest or the cast of the Oddysee?"
It's always the odd bunch all the time.
"That said, [Ruiz] had to know nothing much would happen to him."
This is precisely what emboldened Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. to brutally murder Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte Metro train last August. Brown had been arrested at least 14 times before committing that vile capital crime. His criminal record included multiple charges for armed robbery, felony larceny, and assault. But after each arrest, he was released by the Democrat-controlled Mecklenburg County establishment on bond and seldom brought to trial. From that experience, Brown learned he was immune from the consequences law-abiding people wrongly assume are being imposed by faithful enforcement of the law. Once the Democrats gain power, that reasonable expectation is flushed down the toilet.
The Democrat race is a free-for-all.
She's calling herself "the wild card."
Education? Madison West High School
She dropped out of the University of Wisconsin to pursue a culinary career. I guess that didn't work out for her.
Her resume is a little skimpy.
Ho Chi Minh worked in a pub (London) and was a pastry chef (Brooklyn) before he found his true calling.
Good to see the Crystal alive and kicking.
Nobody is happy Ruiz was killed, but if you fight with the cops, your chance of getting killed increases in direct proportion to how hard and how long you fight.
If you pull a knife, your chance of getting killed goes through the roof.
If you cut a cop with a knife, you're absolutely going to get shot. You can't tell me Ruiz didn't know these simple facts. Everyone knows them.
what's with all these eastern states? Why are THEY embracing socialism?
Is it just because easterners are mentally stupid?
Of course, some one will mention Minnesota..
and i'll have to point out that the populus half of Minn is ALSO East of the Mississippi
Kenyan elite vs we are all deplorable now.

It's on both coasts. Look at WA, OR and CA.
"You can't tell me Ruiz didn't know these simple facts."
By my reckoning, we've been living in post-fact America for 16 years. We are all now living in the United States of Feelings.
In Denver, A black man was arrested for shooting at an anti-ICE protester.
Anti-ICE leftist - a young woman covered in tattoos and the standard look - anyway - the black man says he was being taunted and called racial names. He had had enough.
I dont condone shooting - but there you go.
Normally I'd wonder where are her anime role playing furry ears attachment. But my first thought now is where are the free helicopter rides for communists? But that would require confession and penance, so I'll just banish the thought instead.
Once again, you fools are easily influenced by the promotion of DSA by social media and the algorithms designed to get you all upset, hot and bothered, anxious and completely out of control based on rumors, innuendo and exaggerations.
Trump hate is why this is happening.
Socialism and communism are modern day hate-tantrums.
Howard - DSA commies are winning elections. That's not an algorithm.

My dearest April, according to Gemini, the DSA has successfully elected 216 office holders out of a total of 500,000 elected positions available in the United States
The sweaty, manly, testosterone-filled *forges* of Maine pine for thee Howard. You left em all hot and bothered.
That's what the *bar's* name was, right? "The Forge"?
If you want a picture of the future under the DSA, imagine a loud protest overriding your personal enjoyment – forever. With apologies to George Orwell.
Self-defense is so deeply ingrained in human nature that I am genuinely surprised when these protests happen. I would definitely shoot a madman charging me with a knife! So would you.
I think the right to self-defense is useful in explaining these protests. These people are imagining a collective right to self-defense. The violence they are protesting against is not the criminal acts of a crazed madman but rather the imagined cruelty of the oligarchs and White Supremacists and their henchmen (the police). The protesters want food (good food from Whole Foods not Aldi), a luxury apartment and health care and they are unwilling to work and pay for it. A Tesla would also be nice. And the protesters want to take these things from wealthier people and will commit violence to do so. They think of their actions as "defensive."
Number of DSA elected public officeholders.
Roughly 0.04–0.05% (or about 1 in 2,000–2,500 elected officials).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Democratic_Socialists_of_America_public_officeholders
DSA representation remains very small as a share of all U.S. elected offices, even as it has achieved notable visibility and wins in specific locales. Data comes primarily from DSA statements, Wikipedia tracking, and standard estimates of total elected officials.

Howard woke up on the brokedick side of the bed this morning.
He wants everyone to know the Democrat party isn't completely invested in mail in voting and importing foreigners to attack the country and attack federal law enforcement.

The cope is real.
Without mail in "ballots" democrats never clear 150 seats in congress.
Nothing makes my stomach turn more that Bernie Sanders, A millionaire - whining endlessly about his big ideas to force us all into failed political and economic systems. Screw Bernie.
Never forget that people might vote the knife of democratic socialism in, but once it stabs a cop a few times they have to shoot their way out.
I don't think I've been more bullish on the US of A Right now. Between Trump fucking up the war and Iran and profiting in the billions from insider deals based on its presidency, passing it down to children and the stupid Democrats stepping all over their cranks and the media promoting DSA, The great silent majority is poised to take over.
Like Bill Maher, I'm kind of leaning towards JD in 28
When you fail to educate your people with the truth, they need to learn the hard way, but learn they will.
Say goodbye to nice things.
Ruiz was a rebel without a cause. The DSA wants to become his cause after the fact.
Howard had always wanted us to believe that he is a manly Democrat, not the usual Tim Waltz type.
Keep trying Howard. It is amusing.

There have been any number of successful malpractice lawsuits brought against hospitals. Despite this, the overwhelming majority of Americans who die, do so in hospitals. It's long past time for us to defund the hospitals. I mention in passing that a great many physicians are Jewish......Some people look at things and say why.. We should look at our dreams and say why not. If we defund the hospitals, I'm sure people will adopt a healthier lifestyle, jump around in blue jumpsuits, and live forever. It's worth a try.

"My dearest April, according to Gemini, the DSA has successfully elected 216 office holders out of a total of 500,000 elected positions available in the United States"
In 2017 there were 15.
In 2019 there were 71.
In 2020 there were 101.
Stop worrying!
Here's an arcane but interesting fact. For reasons I don't understand, forestry workers in Russia in the twenties were mostly czarist in their sympathies. Forestry workers in America were mostly far left. After the Bolshevik Revolution, there was a need for forestry workers since the current workers were too reactionary and needed to be "removed" from their jobs. The forestry workers here heeded the call. Some 6,000 to 10,000 of them went to Russia to fulfill the ideals of the revolution. There they prospered and lived happily every after. It's an inspiring story........Well, actually, those who weren't shot outright were sent to the Gulags during Stalin's purges.......Stalin was absurdly paranoiac about foreign workers. As well he should be. Just a handful of Bolsheviks on that train to the Finand station were able to overthrow a three hundred year old dynasty. I believe their numbers were much less that ..004%..
Tragic incident aside, those Concerts on the Square sound wonderful. What a way to spend a summer evening. Even if you don’t do the picnic thing, just taking a walk and enjoying the music sounds good.
@William--
The Reds did not overthrow any 300-year-old dynasty. They overthrew the liberals who overthrew the 300-year-old dynasty.
The Reds were barely even bystanders when Nicky abdicated.
Sean McMeekin's book "The Russian Revolution" is an excellent account.
Just abandon Madison and go up to Oshkosh for the big airshow.
The PTB will try to portray this as the guy being shot after he is already immobilized. They will ignore the guy's cutting the cop, or just blame that on the cop for using improper restraint techniques. And since the cut cop is also the shooting cop, they will portray the shooting as anger/retaliation rather than the cop meeting the guy's lethal force with his own.
Notice that no one used the Chauvin knee-to-trapezius technique, which would have kept the guy solidly on the ground and limited what he could do with the knife.
Shooting the guy while he is surrounded by other coppers is not the best thing to do - even though you are angling down, the bullet could do a sliding ricochet on the pavement and hit your partner. And since the guy is still resisting and not firmly held to the ground by the Chauvin method, he might get up again, and you might instinctively keep tracking him and shoot horizontally, hitting your partner even if you hit the bad guy: at such a close distance, that bullet has nearly its whole muzzle velocity and may just keep on trucking out the other side of the bad guy. But all that is a training issue - nothing that should make the copper liable civilly or criminally.
But it is a blue city in a blue state.

Correction: JVD was released a few years ago, after serving half his sentence, in accordance with the Illinois good-behavior rules. At least poetic justice worked for him there. CC, JSM
"@Althouse, assumes without evidence that there are any moderates besides you and Meade anywhere in Madison."
You really are tiresome.
I read yesterday that a couple of her old tweets actually said that the police should be abolished. I suspect that she's not really interested in the moderate vote.
I'm tempted to vote for Hong in the primary. She would be a disaster for Wisconsin, but I have a difficult time believing she wouldn't go down in flames in the general and it would be an instructive campaign. My concern is voting fraud putting her over the top.
I think she'd be a safer general election candidate (i.e. more likely to lose) than Mandela Barnes.
He pulled a knife on the police and got shot? What is the protest for?
If you Wisconsinites wanna elect the candidate running on the stab-a-cop platform, you go right ahead. You probably will. You seem to have an utterly inverted sense of what is to be expected of a civilized society. I give you a wide berth.
I reflexively took the police side until I watched the video in Althouse's final line. It doesn't look like a good shoot to me.
It might be legally justified but they had him down and had other options.
I don't believe cops want to shoot anybody. They also don't want to get shot or stabbed. This is sad, but if I pulled out a knife and stabbed a cop, I would expect to get shot. It's that simple.
Except in Madison, WI of course. Lunatic town. Why would anybody want to be a cop in a town like that? You do your job. Bad situation occurs. You defend your life; legally, and then there is some dingbat gubernatorial candidate calling it "state sanctioned violence"....
...and now you are a villain, outcast, end enemy of the community you try to protect.
Democratic Socialist Hong, Democratic Socialist Hong, please pick up the Socialist China courtesy phone?
I could pretty easily name100 or more DSA members, not all publicly declared, in elected offices in Georgia alone, several in higher office. Many *just* attend the annual banquet or other meetings, but they're growing bolder. So saying there are little more than 200 of them in the entire country is ridiculous. Kiwiki is a well-researched source on DSA affiliation.
Of course the dingbat communist mayor of Madison, Satya Rhodes-Conway, is already posting "What need to change in police policy and training to prevent more deaths?"
She also says this is being handled by the WI State Department of Criminal investigation. The cops are already criminals, and the Mayor and the Madison Common Council will hang them out to dry.
Train the Madison Police that if somebody stabs you, just stand there and take it. You might die, but at least there won't be an investigation, protests, and hurt feelings.
"Interrupting the Concerts on the Square can't be the best way to win over moderates. "
Should we assume the DSA Left has any interest in winning over moderates? They intend to take power through other means. They're just piggy-backing on the Democratic party now to get on ballots, prevail in sparsely turned-out primaries, and win some (mostly) local elections. Eventually they'll form their own party, maybe retaining the Democrat name, and seek power through revolutionary ways and means.
And I don't know who looks more pathetic, the protesters or the concertgoers who try to pretend this isn't happening to them, look down at their feet, and sit there obediently. Has Madison outlawed real men? Why didn't anyone get the police to round them up and arrest them for disrupting a public event? Why didn't anyone have the integrity to yell at them and tell them to get the hell out of there? They better get used to their position in society: prone, pathetic, and imprisoned by the mob.
Need bodycams.
I always love how dumb moderates and loser Rightwingers laugh at the Left and their tactics. "How many votes did you get with that stunt? har har".
They've been fucking winning for 70 years dummy, and they're still winning. Maybe they know something about politics and political tactics that you don't.
The left reads Alinsky's rules. The Right listens to Sean Hannity. Nough said.
'..."Interrupting the Concerts on the Square can't be the best way to win over moderates. "...'
They don't need to be won over, they just need to keep submitting to it. 'Alinsky and Hannity' comments are not far off target. If you want it to stop, you'll have to feed them their megaphones.
“Notice that no one used the Chauvin knee-to-trapezius technique, which would have kept the guy solidly on the ground and limited what he could do with the knife.”
The purpose of that technique is to prevent narcotic ODs (like George Floyd) from aspirating their own vomit. It’s to keep arrestees alive, until paramedics arrive. The official autopsy showed that he had a sometimes level of fentanyl in his system. Floyd was removed from the police car, placed on his side, and the call for an ambulance changed from Code 3 to Code 2, in response to clear indications of a narcotics OD (masked earlier by the meth in his system). And, in the autopsy, there were no bruises identified from the use of that technique.
“The official autopsy showed that he had a sometimes FATAL level of fentanyl in his system “
Which is to say that the level of narcotics (fentanyl here) in Floyd’s system is often fatal.
"Chicago PO Jason Van Dyke is still in prison for shooting a knife-wielding offender who was on his feet and moving erratically. CC, JSM"
Don't compare, not even close. Laquan McDonald was high and walking down the street carrying a knife. There were multiple cruisers and cops there. He never ran at the cops, never threatened them. He was walking away from Jason Van Dyke when Van Dyke shot him. He fell from the first shot, the last 15 were after McDonald fell. He stopped shooting when he ran out on bullets. Van Dyke was the only cop who fired. It was an execution.
POS Rahm Emanuel withheld the video for a year, and it was ruled that McDonald lunged at JVD and said it was a justified shooting. After Emanuel was re-elected, the video finally came out and once the truth came out first degree murder charges were brought.
"He pulled a knife on the police and got shot? What is the protest for?"
So they can pull knives and stab police and not get shot.
Which just proves that Chicago justice boils down to who-whom.
Also, McDonald was moving away from JVD, but into a populated working class neighborhood of bungalows (my aunt used to live there), in the middle of the night, when he had already tried to break through the glass windows of a Burger King and CPD squad cars. Stop him now, or stop him after he's stabbed some Mexican blue collar family. CC, JSM
“bLACK LIVES MATTER!!!”, they shouted, without evidence
@JSM, Chicago's long-time motto regarding justice and everything:
"We don't want nobody nobody sent."
The amount that black lives matter is proportional to how much blacks matter to other blacks, and that should be the standard.
"They better get used to their position in society: prone, pathetic, and imprisoned by the mob."
So, Althouse. When does the "FOR SALE" sign go up? Or are you planning on being eaten last?
“Nobody is happy Ruiz was killed“
I know for a fact that is false
Madisonians by and large don't give a shit about POC. But they very much want to be perceived as caring about POC. Of course the same can be said for most lefties.
Do we run with DSA Panic again or Trans Panic again today? ~ MAGA
In an era of mass unaffordability, Middle East wars, ICE killings, and a president siphoning billions of dollars from his office, the time has come for an alarmist op-ed about Democratic Socialists winning House primaries.

I hope they riot. We need some good old fashioned "peaceful protests" before the election. Board up your homes!!!!
Things must be pretty good in the plywood aisle at the Madison hardware store. I recommend installing permament hurricane screws along the windows: you sink them once and they come with not unattractive plastic caps to cover them when not in use. Then you don't have to keep screwing new holes. In the plywood, that is.
I’d like to say the people in Madison don’t deserve it but good and hard has become the appropriate response. These people aren’t the next batch of Democrats to fawn over, they’re dumber and meaner, like orcs…

This is not the appropriate attitude. Madison Wisconsin is run by traitors and foreign invaders.
Republicans would win in Madison or anywhere in the country if you had to show ID to vote on a paper ballot and the ballots were counted on election day.

What are the chances of being shot if you approach Francesca Hong with a knife while wearing a MAGA hat?
I have to wonder, for the people at the tables, if they gave any thought, any reflections, to the end result of their past voting decisions and yard sign choices.
When I say enjoy, I of course don't mean you. Cruel neutrality has its place.
