I understand that Madison, Wisconsin, is a very blue dot in a purple-ish state. It feels like a city where 2020 never really ended and the flower children and woke scolds are holding teach-ins at every corner, bongs in hand.
Really, I understand, I do. That being said, if the police chief of any city — Madison or wherever — stands by while an anti-Semitic banter takes over the podium during his media briefing and a protester holds up a sign that threatens to kill said chief, he should no longer be chief.
Of course, Madison Police Chief John Patterson might be out of a job soon, albeit for different reasons. Madison is in the throes of another one of those Great Reckonings™ we used to have every few months, after a man named Corey Ruiz was shot and killed by police after he knifed police during a struggle that was caught on camera.
