The War on Journalism at the Local Level - Wisconsin

Liberal writer and [Govenor Scott] Walker critic Matt Rothschild was arrested by [Madison] Capitol police on a misdemeanor obstruction and resisting arrest charge and released on $300 bail after photographing the arrests of other demonstrators singing in the rotunda. Rothschild said he didn't comply with an officer's order to move from the area of the arrest but did identify himself as a working journalist.

[...]

. Rothschild was also arrested at the Capitol in November 2011 for wearing a sign and taking pictures in the Assembly gallery, both practices that lawmakers in that body have not allowed.
