I tend to agree with you. He looks undercover. And that's not a casual hold or grab.
From the political rallies I've gone to, I can tell ya that besides all the uniform cops & snipers, there are a number of undercover cops in the audience. I wouldn't have noticed them--but then I realized that two of the guys just trying to blend to the crowd in were neighborhood cops from my old neighborhood. One was carrying a backpack with some serious metal inside.
Agreed and a dirty one at that . Still it's time for a lawsuit & if it gets bounced out of court hold a press conference on the court house steps denouncing the facist judge who thinks that free speech is only the right of politicians & union brownshirts.
