Hecklers disrupt Trump rally, photographer shoved to the ground
By Doina Chiacu and Emily Stephenson
WASHINGTON/SAN ANTONIO - A Donald Trump rally was repeatedly disrupted by hecklers, including some from the Black Lives Matter movement, on Monday and a Time magazine photographer said he was choked and pushed to the ground in a tussle with U.S. Secret Service agents.
Photographer Chris Morris said he was assaulted first, never hit the agent, and will not press charges, CNN reported.
"I stepped 18 inches out of the (press) pen and then he grabbed me by the neck and started choking me and then he slammed me to the ground," Morris said at the scene.
The Trump campaign said there was an incident involving a photographer and a Secret Service agent at the rally at Radford University in western Virginia.

interview? why isn’t he in jail?
Looked to me like the photographer was trying to kick him in the gonads. That was before the photographer tried to kill him by damaging his trachea. Did I see a swift kidney punch? Agent did his job well.
The real story here is that Reuters gave it the headline “Photographer Shoved to Ground.”
More last-minute garbage they hope will get through nitwit brains in the wrong way. Watch for more.
Someone with Twitter needs to send the pictures and video to Trump or DonAld Jr
Yes, but I’m sure they are aware, and furious.
By the way, RT (Russia Today) tweeted a still photo, not a video, of the incident and said “photographer pushed to floor.”
Yes he was pushed to floor after he accounted the agent He was immediately search for a gun also ( visible in video).
He admitted he was 18 inches or so out of assigned area. He chest bumped agent and swore at him.
Personally think he should have his credentials taken from him and charges brought against him. No way should the press be able to behave in such manner without repercussions
