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.”

Lead story on every Phoenix radio and TV station is;
“Trump Supporter Attacks Protester”
or maybe
“Trump Supporter Arrested after Attacking Protester”

If you read ‘The Three Faces of Fascism’ on the differentiation between various fascist ‘styles’... the ONE thing they all have in common is their criminal lack of respect for all and any opponents.

If they had to walk up to the Pope on the street and spit in his face, THEY WOULD!

AND.... they are trained to act hateful and evil and try to get the opposition to strike back.

Then , they will call the cops and press charges.

The Left is spoiling for a fight.

All the Soros money has been poured into igniting the American tinder, but with Ferguson, BLM, and the Occupy crowd the only thing they faced were other radicals. There was no one else to confront on the street. Why Obama even invited these radicals to the White House to inspire them further, but no one else came out to play. Now however, with Trump, or Cruz, or whomever, these radicals finally have an opponent on the street with them to fight. It’s only a matter of time.

When will Hillary denounce this type of agitation and violence?

Beat the living sh*t out of these protests at one event and they’ll stop showing.

These people are thugs, and thugs are cowards. If they feel safe in their crowd they will continue to get bolder. If they feel unsafe they will stay home.

Inaction on our part will make them stronger. It’s time to go to jail people.

In 2010, I went to the first Tea Party event in NYC. There was a very strong police presence. The crowd of ~12,000 was the most well-behaved, civilized and diverse group of people. Folks from all walks of life, every race, and many ethnic groups were represented. There were no problems. No garbage strewn on the ground, no arrests, no fights; I was proud to be a part of it. In fact, several police I talked to then said that they were detailed there as a deterrent to the counter-protesters that were expected. They said that they had never seen a more well-behaved crowd.

The next year, the radical leftists made it a point to bus in hundreds of protesters from SEIU, CSEA, MoveOn.org, ACORN, hippies, you name it. Some carried professionally printed signs with hateful language. They antagonized the Tea Partiers, they spat as us, threw trash at us, shouted expletives and vulgarities at us, and tried very hard to instigate fights.

I am not surprised by this at all. It is the communist way.

Why are people surprised.

The groups consist of the usual LEFTIST groups who always cause all the problems.
Black Lives Matter, etc., etc., etc.
Union goons, including teachers unions
Hard Core leftist groups; like those in Ferguson,
namely, Muslim Brotherhood

These are not TRUMP people .. these are all LEFTISTS.
All are guilty of disorderly conduct.
This is NOT a FREE SPEECH ISSUE.

” It’s time to go to jail people.”

Our forefathers and the greatest generation would have been shooting people by now.

Faux news won’t is my bet. It conflicts with their narrative of late.

But then again they don’t seem to mind that their hypocrisy and downright lies have relegated them to near tabloid status.

You soon learn that lesson if you ride a school bus. When
I was a little kid; I rode a school bus. One day, for no
good reason I can remember; I turned to another little girl
in a seat across from me. “Let’s fight!!” I shouted all
excited. Well, I can’t remember who landed the first punch;
but she beat the crap outta Twinkie & Twinkie could not wait
to exit that bus at her house. :o)

Did you mean to post a FIRE WEATHER WATCH on a Trump thread?

What low-information voters see: TRUMP (protesters) MOST HATEFUL, EVIL PEOPLE EVER....

Better headline would read: DEMOCRATS protesting Trump are the most hateful, evil people I’ve ever seen.

If one doesn’t stop and read the article it would be easy to assume that it’s about the pro Trump people.

I'm sure that it's just a coincidence.

I think Trump can jump ahead of these vermin by using the language of Civil Rights law, and if necessary go after the organizers using that law.
