Wisconsin state police are expected to begin arrests after announcing they have closed the Capitol in Madison, though they don't appear near to evicting protesters just yet. Protesters continue to sing and chant "We Shall Overcome" despite an effort to clear the building (choppy video of the singing taken using a mobile phone follows this article).

Around 5pm ET, Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs told the Wisconsin State Journal that law enforcement "would monitor the gathering for at least the next hour."

“We’re still working with organizers and looking for voluntary compliance,” Tubbs said. “No arrests have been made at this point. At this point, we haven’t made any decision on whether to arrest people.”

1. Aw'cmon Tubbs
You know you want to do it.

And you think those people - those citizens in their house - want you to do it. Just do it!
