Madison Det. John Messer: Protests and Crime

This story is explosive.

In court, under oath, a Madison Police detective testifies that he was unable to do the appropriate follow-up in the investigation of an armed robbery because he was assigned to the Capitol instead, to manage the PROTESTERS.

Detective John Messer blames the protests for the shoddy job done by police in the investigation of the case.

Thanks to the anti-Scott Walker, union, Democrat, Leftists' hissy fit, resources were diverted and criminals remained on the streets.

Even worse, the suspects allegedly committed a MURDER months after the armed robbery.

From the MacIver Institute:

The Capitol protests in Madison during February and March 2011 were not peaceful. At times, protesters stormed the building through windows. One protester attempted to remove the exterior door hinges. Thousands stormed the building, camped out for weeks and often harassed the lawmakers and staff that worked in the building.

The disruptive nature of the Capitol Occupation required round-the-clock police presence for crowd control and protective detail for those who worked in the building. That diversion of resources had a ripple effect through communities across Wisconsin as officers who normally would be on the job at home, had to spend time attempting to keep the peace at the State Capitol.

In this video, a Madison Police Detective testifies in court, under oath, that his diversion to the Capitol prevented him from questioning two subjects identified by the victim of an armed home invasion, which he had begun to investigate prior to the Capitol Occupation.

The suspects are now currently in the Dane County Jail, awaiting trial for a different crime--a murder they are alleged to have committed several months after the robbery. It was a robbery for which they were implicated by others, but for which they were never questioned by police.

MacIver News Service's Bill Osmulski reports from the Dane County Courthouse in Madison.

So here is part of the fall-out from the protests in Madison last year.

Sickening.

This story should receive wipespread attention.

I'm sure the local media will pick this up immediately. MSNBC will run it.

Just kidding.

NBC News will probably edit the audio to say Scott Walker was responsible for the armed robbery and the murder.

But instead of reporting this, all my local paper reports today Is "the Capitol protests only(ONLY??) cost $200,000 for cleanup and repairs, not the millions that Walker claimed" (paraphrasing)

No mention of the huge cost of police overtime. no mention of work and income lost by citizens due to illegal teacher "sick days". And no mention of serious crimes left unsolved due to diverted resources. The media's disinterest in providing balanced information and their lack of curiosity of things that don't fit the liberal narrative is pathetic.

It really is pathetic.

Thanks to the New Media we have access to so much more information, not filtered by the Left.

That's very bad news for the liberal media.
