Outrage in Wisconsin After Video Shows Police Forcibly Taking Down Peaceful Data Center Protester: ‘One Woman Steps In While All the Men Just Stand There’

Wisconsin is feeling the pressure with a proposed data center being built Port Washington. The massive $15 billion (with a B) center would use absurd amounts of water and electricity, prompting very real concerns from locals. This past week, a council meeting was held in the area for locals to speak up and have their voices heard. However, when things got a little intense and opinions started flying around the room, the police interfered. What resulted was several arrests by aggressive police.

Our Wisconsin Rev posted a video on TikTok of the arrest. During the open forum, a few individuals voiced their opinions about the upcoming proposed data center. As this happened, officers approached one woman who was particularly vocal against the data center (but was otherwise compliant). Now sitting quietly, they continue to harass her. You can hear locals saying, “This is wrong” and “This is abuse of power” as police then put their hands on her.
