Madison Police drone video shows physical fight between Independent Police Monitor and officers

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - The Independent Police Monitor got into a physical altercation with Madison Police on Tuesday.

This happened as the city shut down the Williamson Street encampment.

The drone video, released from the Madison Police Department, was just released in the last hour.

Police say that they are contradicting narratives on what happened between Meeka Glass and police.

It appears that the independent monitor is filming and following an officer. She extends her hand and so does the officer.

The video slowed down appears Glass pushes the officer, who then restrains her along with others on the scene.

Madison Police Department say they released this video on Tuesday to ensure transparency.

Since that incident, there’s been another video posted online of Glass saying she will “Burn this city down.”

A viewer sent us that video.
