Prosser Grabs Reporter’s Microphone, Quickly Hands It Back (VIDEO)

Prosser Grabs Reporter’s Microphone, Quickly Hands It Back (VIDEO)

Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, who has been publicly accused of putting Justice Ann Walsh Bradley in a chokehold, had another flare-up on Thursday — this time with a reporter.

The local Fox affiliate in Milwaukee sent reporter Mike Lowe to the state Capitol in Madison, seeking to track down the members of the Supreme Court, including Prosser, and repeatedly ask them for comment.

In all, Lowe caught up with four out of the seven Justices. Of course, the Justices predictably declined to comment on a matter that is under a pending investigation — especially a story that is embarrassing the court.

But when Prosser met up with Lowe, he quickly grabbed the microphone out of Lowe’s hand, before just as quickly handing it right back to the surprised reporter — apparently realizing that was a really bad idea in front of a video camera
