There was some tension, but nothing much else at the latest protest in Menomonie which saw different views exercising the same right.
A group of protesters were met yesterday with a group of people who flew the American flag and stood across the street from them. The protesters were bothered that the other group had some rifles, those people said they wanted to protect their business from violence. Menomonie Police were called, they stayed and watched the protest, but didn’t report any problems.
In other parts of our state, the latest day of protests in southeast Wisconsin saw a crowd take to the streets in Waukesha. About 80 people marched yesterday, and all stayed peaceful. The protesters say they want to continue to shine a light on racism and police use-of-force.
