"The administration of Gov. Scott Walker abruptly locked out protesters from the Capitol on Monday morning..."

The NYT reports:

About 60 demonstrators who had slept in the statehouse overnight remained inside as of noon Monday, and they banged drums, sang and danced in the rotunda. They had access to restrooms and, given the dwindling size of the group, appeared to have a decent supply of food. There was no indication that the police were preparing to arrest or eject them, and several said in interviews that they had no intention of leaving.

Meade saw this in person today, took video which we'll have later, and will describe what he saw in the comments to this post.

It seems to me that the governor figured out a way to gradually and undramatically end the occupation of the Capitol.
