From inside the Wisconsin State Capitol, RAN ally Ryan Harvey reports:

"Hundreds of cops have just marched into the Wisconsin state capitol building to protest the anti-Union bill, to massive applause. They now join up to 600 people who are inside."

Ryan reported on his Facebook page earlier today:

"Police have just announced to the crowds inside the occupied State Capitol of Wisconsin: 'We have been ordered by the legislature to kick you all out at 4:00 today. But we know what's right from wrong. We will not be kicking anyone out, in fact, we will be sleeping here with you!' Unreal."

UPDATE: This video says it all. It makes me proud of my neighbors. "Let me tell you Mr. Walker, this is not your house, this is all our house."
