Police officer: Trump protesters were ‘the most hateful, evil people I’ve ever seen’
Washington Post (I'm not making this up) ^ | 21 March 2016 | By Lindsey Bever

Protesters at recent Donald Trump campaign rallies have made almost as much news as the presidential candidate himself — getting sucker-punched, landing sucker punches, stopping traffic, stopping the rallies, claiming they were banned from the events.

Brandon Tatum, an officer in the Tucson Police Department, went to a Trump rally on Saturday as a civilian to see what was going on. In a subsequent video, he said he thought there was going to be “a full-fledged riot” at the event — but not because of Trump’s supporters.

The protesters were the problem, Tatum said.

“These people were acting so outrageous,” he said in the video, which went viral after it was uploaded to Facebook. “You were just thinking that somebody was going to lose their temper and there was going to be a full brawl.”

Members of the mob tend to get violent at the prospect of losing their opportunity to loot.

“I’m amazed the WaPo published this video.”

The most skillful liars know that you can only lie so much and get away with it.

Once in a while you have to tell the truth to get people to continue to believe your lies.

For once I’m happy my prediction was wrong. I said the media wouldn’t cover this good man’s words.

That is the strategy and I wouldn’t be surprised if it came directly from this White House. Act so obnoxious that they provoke Trump voters into fighting back and then the compliant MSM story is that Trump protestors are violent and Trump is an intolerant Nazi.

“Once in a while you have to tell the truth to get people to continue to believe your lies. “

Agree. But, the header of this article is misleading. If one doesn’t stop and read the article it would be easy to assume that it’s about the pro Trump people. Just saying....

The “protesters” are neocommunists looking to stir up civil discontent.

Not a Trump supporter but Trump, stand your ground and do not change your message.

You got the filth angry and that is good. Let's take 'em to the ground

If you stick to your message and keep chunking you punches at them, I will not have to hold my nose to vote for you if you get the nod.

BUT you better keep your promises when you are elected you charlatan.
