It highlights concerns over law enforcement responses, specifically referencing the police chief&#8217;s handling of a protest situation during a media briefing about a police-involved shooting. The article criticizes the police chief for not maintaining order as protesters interrupted the briefing, including an individual making anti-Semitic and radical remarks. It points out that the police avoided de-escalation or threats, allowing the disruption to continue, which raises questions about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stabbed-shot-sued-new-york-cops-explain-why-no-one-wants-to-work-for-the-nypd\/\" title=\"Stabbed, Shot, Sued: New York Cops Explain Why No One Wants to Work for the NYPD\">law enforcement effectiveness<\/a> and public safety. Additionally, the piece discusses the background of the individual involved in the disturbance, his history, and the broader implications of such chaotic responses in handling public protests and emergencies.the article underscores the importance of order, law enforcement accountability, and the dangers of allowing lawless protests to escalate without appropriate intervention.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>I understand that Madison, Wisconsin, is a very blue dot in a purple-ish state. It feels like a city where 2020 never really ended and the flower children and woke scolds are holding teach-ins at every corner, bongs in hand.<\/p>\n<p>Really, I understand, I do. That being said, if the police chief of any city \u2014 Madison or wherever \u2014 stands by while an anti-Semitic banter takes over the podium during his media briefing and a protester holds up a sign that threatens to kill said chief, he should no longer be chief.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Madison <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-disgraceful-uk-police-chief-apologizes-letting-student-bleed-accused-racist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Police Chief<\/a> John Patterson might be out of a job soon, albeit for different reasons. Madison is in the throes of another one of those Great Reckonings\u2122 we used to have every few months, after a man named Corey Ruiz was shot and killed by police after he knifed police during a struggle that was caught on camera.<\/p>\n<p>The facts are hazy as of right now. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/corey-ruiz-death-madison-wisconsin-police-7ea2c187227243cb1c7988514d1091ac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a> reported that while bystander video captured the confrontation with the homeless Ruiz in the middle of it, Madison decided against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/body-cam-catches-views-sunny-hostin-trying-use-status-talk-cops-arresting-son\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">body cams<\/a> for police officers because of both feasibility concerns and because \u201ccommunity groups worried the cameras would be used to surveil and criminalize marginalized groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does not matter who you are or what your past is, you should not lose your life as a result of an encounter with law enforcement,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/democratic-socialist-running-wisconsin-governor-calls-hospitals-cowardly-refusing-pediatric-sex-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madison<\/a> Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said Thursday, the outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/police-shooting-madison-knife-protests-listening-session-f4efad72ed0dc5cad6005bb6e4a326dd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It actually matters a great deal, one might point out, that Ruiz has a revolving-door history with the prison system over the last 10 years, both for \u201cmisdemeanor offenses including disorderly conduct, drug possession, auto theft, battery and invasion of privacy\u201d and \u201cfelonies including possession of cocaine and marijuana, robbery, strangulation, resisting an officer and causing bodily harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a pretty eventful 10 years, I think we can all agree.<\/p>\n<p>At least Mayor Rhodes-Conway can hide behind statements and the occasional press briefing. Plus, she can\u2019t just be fired. The same can\u2019t be said for Police Chief Patterson, who proved that he might be the weakest police chief in America by letting a bunch of minatory Marxists take over his Thursday briefing on the death of Ruiz.<\/p>\n<p>The interruption happened less than 10 minutes into Patterson\u2019s remarks, which were already listless and self-flagellating. He mentioned that \u201cthree fatal encounters\u201d had happened in the same area \u201cwithin roughly 14 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For a city of over 260,000, that\u2019s not inconsequential, but not entirely unheard of. Nevertheless, the chief said that he would not pretend the community should \u201cforget trauma and forget losses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And forget it they didn\u2019t, because at this point protesters effectively shut him down and took over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/sick-minneapolis-mayor-jacob-frey-lashes-prayer-catholic-school-shooting-press-briefing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press briefing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A ranting man \u2014 unidentified as of Saturday morning \u2014 along with a woman holding up a sign saying \u201cCorrupt cops deserve to die too!! F*** you kill Peterson [sic]\u201d took over the briefing from there, first from the audience and then from the podium.<\/p>\n<p>You may not be surprised that the speaker was not terribly coherent, talking about how \u201cZionism and colonialism\u201d have infiltrated the Madison Police Department and that he was \u201cpart of the class that has been oppressed and struggled my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can shut this down, you can stop talking because we don\u2019t want to hear anything you\u2019ve been saying,\u201d the man said. \u201cHave no fear, the anti-Zionist is here!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou won\u2019t be able to talk today because I\u2019m gonna keep talking,\u201d the man shouted. \u201cI was born to talk my talk and walk my walk, too\u2026 We have the power! The city of Madison is corrupt!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man seemed to be some brand of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/not-even-hiding-muslim-democratic-candidate-loops-one-quote-opponent-made-israel-build-anti-semitic-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anti-Semitic<\/a> Marxist, ranting about how there should be \u201czero power to Zionists, zero power to capitalists, zero power to colonialism.\u201d Apparently, the University of Wisconsin Madison colonized him, or something.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say that he was a \u201crevolutionary intercommunalist,\u201d talking about \u201call of these struggles \u2014 Palestine, Congo, America, uh, Sudan, Venezuela, but when you put that fist together, you get the power of intercommunalism\u2026 I don\u2019t like communism, because you guys have rebranded communism! You guys have took socialism and the fight for liberation and turned it into something you can profit for, just like the nonprofit organizations in this city!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This went on for nearly 15 minutes before America\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >weakest police chief stepped back<\/a> in tentatively as someone in the crowd said \u201cthere are rules to communication and we need to follow them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are smarter than that,\u201d the voice added.<\/p>\n<p>Um, I don\u2019t think so. The full rant, which gets interrupted by the wannabe voice of reason at roughly the 47 minute mark:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that some viewers will find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"News Conference: Madison Officials Update on Officer-Involved Shooting July 23, 2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MnD9cir0Soc?start=1976&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Notice that at no point does our police chief here think that this is something that needs to be policed.

These seem rather pertinent questions when an insane person takes to the podium of a media briefing where city officials are speaking. There isn\u2019t even an attempt at de-escalation. They just let the guy do what he wants.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Patterson later said that \u201cI appreciate you being here,\u201d then begged the man to leave.<\/p>\n<p>In short, if you wonder why a homeless man who stabbed police was out on the street to get shot despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bad-news-for-biden-nursing-home-patients-keep-dying-after-wandering-away-unnoticed\/\" title=\"Biden&#039;s Worry: Unnoticed Wandering Leads to Nursing Home ...s\">lengthy track record<\/a> and no apparent ability to keep himself in check, here\u2019s your object lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone who interrupted this proceeding could be charged with a variety of crimes from disturbing the peace to death threats. Instead, they\u2019re begging with anti-rational criminals to just quietly go away and be \u201crevolutionary intercommunalists\u201d somewhere else. They\u2019re surprised it didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>What are the odds that this man ends up killing someone or getting killed himself? What are the odds that he sparks those \u201cfiery but mostly peaceful protests\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-mocked-labeling-kenosha-mostly-peaceful-footage-showed-opposite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we saw in Kenosha<\/a>, which isn\u2019t that far away, back in 2020? It\u2019s certainly non-zero. And when a police chief just stands by and watches it happen, he\u2019s not acting as police but as a tacit endorser, putting the imprimatur of the police on the actions of blatant lawbreakers.<\/p>\n<p>A system like this cannot function. The seeds of its own collapse are inherent in the organizing principles behind it \u2014 primarily, that anyone can do whatever they want in the name of a suitably woke cause. This isn\u2019t a way to deal with a death; it\u2019s a simple way to encourage more death by signaling that law enforcement is going to stop, at least for the time being, enforcing laws.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
