Indiana Official On Wisconsin Protestors: ‘Use Live Ammunition’ #p2


Jeffrey Cox is a deputy attorney general for the state of Indiana, and he has some strong views about the protests in Wisconsin. In response to a Mother Jones tweet this weekend reporting that riot police might be used to clear protestors from the capitol building in Madison, Cox tweeted back: "Use live ammunition":

Cox remained steadfast in his position that the protestors should be killed when confronted on Twitter by Mother Jones' Adam Weinstein, writing that "against thugs physically threatening legally-elected state legislators & governor? You're damn right I advocate deadly force." (There have been no reports that the protestors have physically threatened any elected officials).
