The bedlam that erupted in the Wisconsin city of Madison after the fatal police shooting of a homeless thug and criminal was reportedly organized.
According to an investigation by Fox News, the anti-police protests and Black Lives Matter encampment that was erected after homeless thug Corey Ruiz’s fatal shooting was organized by a “coalition of communist, socialist, and left-wing activist organizations.”
The organizations included the Madison chapter of the openly communist Party for Socialism and Liberation, in addition to a “social justice” nonprofit called Freedom Inc., a Marxist-Leninist political organization called the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and a group called “Fight Back! News.”
“Together, the groups have organized demonstrations, maintained a sprawling protest encampment, demanding the officer’s arrest and repeatedly referring to him as a ‘killer cop,'” Fox News notes. “Freedom Inc. also publicly said it bailed out dozens of protesters following recent arrests.”

The encampment in particular grew “to include dozens of tents, four portable toilets, food distribution areas and memorial displays” over the weeks.
The encampment was finally shuttered this week by the authorities after weeks of city officials permitting it “to continue to grow and shut down traffic,” according to investigative reporter Andy Ngo.
Everything changed on Tuesday, when the city finally moved to put an end to the autonomous zone and restore order.
“Madison Police Department spokesperson Stephanie Fryer [said] that, at around 5 a.m. Tuesday, city officials entered the encampment … with a bullhorn and asked people to gather their belongings and leave,” according to local station WISC.
Some people violently resisted by lighting fires and throwing rocks:

Of the groups organizing the protests, the Party for Socialism and Liberation has been especially intent on smearing the police.
After the encampment was shuttered Tuesday, the party posted a video to social media showing officers clearing the scene. The social video post included an incendiary caption.
“Killer cop … is still walking free. Still on the streets. Still getting paid,” the leftist hooligans wrote in their post. “You can destroy a memorial, but you cannot destroy a movement.”
Freedom Inc., meanwhile, has been busy bailing out violent so-called “protesters.”

“In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Freedom Inc. claimed it had ‘bailed out 50 people’ from the Dane County Public Safety Building following the previous night’s arrests and had ‘shut down Doty Street directly in front of the jail while working to get people released,'” according to Fox News.
Making matters worse, it turns out Freedom Inc. has reportedly benefited from $1.24 million in government grants.
On Wednesday, both Freedom Inc. and the Madison chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation published a joint Instagram post calling on so-called “protesters” to demonstrate outside the local courthouse.

Freedom Inc. has previously called for abolishing the police, defunding ICE, closing jails/prisons, and ending ICE.
“Police and ICE are tearing families apart, racially profiling our people, criminalizing poverty, and inflicting violence on Black, Brown, immigrant, and working-class communities,” its platform reportedly reads.
Freedom Inc. is reportedly closely affiliated with “Fight Back! News.”
On July 25, the fourth evening since the murder of Corey Ruiz in Madison, Wisconsin, people from across the city gather again to mourn and demand justice.https://t.co/zwzbTrAv3G

“Fight Back! News openly states on its website that some of its writers and staff are members of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, another far-left organization that has appeared alongside the Party for Socialism and Liberation,” according to Fox News.
