Wausau Daily Herald - July 3, 2024
Wausau police arrested a 66-year-old Wausau [Wisconsin] man Saturday after he
refused to come down from his perch atop an Army tank outside of the
Army National Guard facility on 17th Avenue.
Wayne B. Olson, 500 Grand Ave., sat on the tank holding a white flag
and two signs, one that said "Thou Shall Not Kill" and the other
reading "In Nonviolence The Bravery Consists In Dying Not Killing,"
police said.
Officers asked Olson to step down, but he said he would retreat only "when Bush stops the war."
After about 30 minutes, he dismounted the tank and was arrested on disorderly conduct charges.

I am surprised those American cops did not shoot the guy.
He could have attempted to get inside the tank and destroy government property.
