July 26, 2013: On a partially downcast and rainy day, two men of God knelt down onto the marble floor of the Wisconsin State Capitol building rotunda to cry and pray. These men, draped in their respective religious garb; one donning the robes of a Franciscan friar and the other a Lutheran ministers collar, led a recitation of The Lords Prayer in song.
Reverend Dary and Friar Phil Gerboc were compelled to the Capitol that day because of the appalling actions taken by Governor Scott Walker and Capitol Police against protesters who sang songs in the rotunda criticizing the controversial governor days before. These men were there to bring peace. Friar Phil plead with police to arrest him instead of singing protesters. With some 100 singers and an estimated 100 onlookers, Friar Gerbocs respectful request would be denied, more arrests would be made and his fellow clergyman would be in the back of an ambulance by the time the singing ended.
Within minutes of leading prayer and song, the visibly shaken Lutheran Rev. Dary gave a statement regarding his own interaction with the Wisconsin State Capitol Police the day before. Rev. Dary was quickly arrested a short time after giving that statement and suffered a cardiac event while in custody. Rev. Darys condition required the emergency administration of nitroglycerin and transportation via ambulance to a nearby hospital. By Friday evening he was listed in fair condition.
Here is the statement Rev. Dary made immediately prior to his arrest:
Here is a witness account of Rev. Darys treatment under Capitol Police detention including the observation that Capitol Police continued to restrain Rev. Dary even after calling an ambulance.
