Demonstrators against Michigan's coronavirus stay-at-home order were forcibly removed from inside Michigan's legislative building in Lansing on Wednesday, with one of the protesters taken away on a stretcher.
A video of the incident was shared on Twitter by Michigan's MIRS News. In the clip, one of the protesters with the group Michigan United for Liberty can be seen screaming as uniformed security guards attempt to remove her from the House of Representatives gallery.
"You're not allowed to touch her," one of the protesters yells as her fellow demonstrator can be seen kicking her legs from the floor. Another protester can be seen filming with her phone as a woman is dragged away.
"Hey, that's not necessary, you guys," the woman holding a phone to film the scene can be heard saying.
Ashley Phibbs, co-founder of Michigan United for Liberty, told Newsweek in an email that a couple of members of her organization "were assaulted this morning by Capitol Red Coats."
"They were not doing anything wrong and were well within their rights. When they asked the red coats to call Capitol police, the red coats refused. At that point our founder and two other people were assaulted," Phibbs said. "We will be filing a lawsuit immediately!"

Remember when the d!psh!ts took over the Wisconsin state house, and the gubbermint hacks left them there for WEEKS.
And they’ve got to file those lawsuits immediately. Barr said he would support Constitutional rights, let’s see if he means it.
Eh? No attack dogs? No water cannons? No truncheons? No rubber bullets?
Next time...
D!psh!ts get professional courtesy.
Hard working, honest, taxpayers? Not so much...
Great now Gretchen will use this as an excuse to extend the stay at home order just like she did after the last protest.
Next time, maybe the “protestors” will bring them.
When does the lead finally start flying?
Love the V mask.
