Protesters fill Wisconsin Capitol for shooting rally

MADISON - Protesters have jammed the Wisconsin Capitol to demonstrate against a white police officer who killed an unarmed black man.

Scores of protesters, including many area high school students who skipped class, stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the rotunda as well as on the first and second floors.

They chanted ``Stand up, fight back, no more black men under attack'' and ``indict, convict, send those killer cops to jail _ the whole damn system is guilty as hell.'' Police estimated the crowd at about 1,500 people.
