Darrell Brooks, 39, went from sleeping at the defense table to yelling at Judge Jennifer Dorow and sheriff's deputies Friday morning, according to footage published by WISN-TV.
"I don't care about no livestream. Just like y'all don't care. All this political," the man accused of plowing into paradegoers with an SUV last November yammered at Dorow.

Brooks then tussled with a deputy as Dorow asked him to stop interrupting the proceedings, according to the station.
"Don't push me dog," he was heard on the footage warning a deputy.
"Don't push back then. Don't push back," the deputy replied.
"Push me again," the suspect reportedly threatened.
Brooks was held in contempt of court and escorted out of the courtroom, the outlet reported.
He returned after a lunch break and sat calmly before reportedly telling Dorow he was not feeling well and wanted to return to his cell.
The judge granted his request and the hearing continued without him, according to the article.

The people are sick of it. I can find forums where people whine all day long about how criminals are treated unfairly and shouldn't sit in jail until trial, meanwhile, the people the DA keeps letting out keep re-offending and getting released even when they have other charges pending already. But just the other day a home intruder was shot and killed in a family's home at 2:30am, and the overwhelming consensus was that the criminal not only deserved it, but that castle doctrine made the city safer, and all those woketards were silenced in the comments, because I guess it's one thing when it's "just property" and another thing completely when it's a home invasion with children in the house. Especially with the economy going the way it is, people are starting to care a little more about their own and other people's property. If your car gets stolen in this city, say goodbye, because if you see it again, it will be totaled, the person responsible, a child with the full sympathies of the woke, and you will never get a payday to replace it.
