    From that article:
    One official in Indiana suggested over the weekend that riot police should use deadly force on those protesting Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker's plan to strip unions of their rights.
    A Saturday tweet from Mother Jones reported on the likelihood that police would soon be clearing the Wisconsin Capitol building of demonstrators.
    "Use live ammunition," a Twitter user named JCCentCom replied.
    When confronted, the Twitter user stood by his words, insisting that the protesters were "political enemies" and "thugs."
    "[A]gainst thugs physically threatening legally-elected state legislators & governor? You're damn right I advocate deadly force," he wrote.
    Mother Jones' Adam Weinstein later discovered that JCCentCom was a deputy attorney general at the Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
    Wow just wow!
    This is the response of a public official to those peacefully exercising their right to free speech.

    Who was it who said "I disagree strongly with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
    I always thought that saying was fundamental to our American freedoms.

    Edit to add:
    Seems the story is real, here's a link to an Indiana news station's story on the subject.
