Law enforcement began moving protesters out of an encampment on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Wednesday morning. Video footage from CNN affiliate WMTV captured Dane County Sheriff’s deputies and Wisconsin State Patrol troopers equipped with riot control shields advancing into a chanting crowd.
Protesters were observed pushing back with their arms linked together as officers, some in Madison Police Department uniforms, began dismantling tents that had been set up on the ground. Additionally, some officers used batons to push protesters back.
