Police have summoned Tim Profitt to appear before a judge to face an assault charge after a scuffle was caught on tape outside the KET Studios in Lexington before Jack Conway and Rand Paul's debate Monday night.
Today, Profitt says he fears for his safety and has received numerous death threats after others have watched the incident on tape. He says his actions were misunderstood.
'I feared for his safety," Profitt explained.
In the video, it appears to some that 23-year-old Lauren Valle is wrestled down to the ground by Rand Paul Supporters and then stomped on.
But to Tim Profitt, the the situation is much different. He says what the video doesn't show is Valle's aggressive behavior. Profitt says she rushed Paul's car three different times; each time refusing to stop. He says at the time, he didn't know what she was trying to do.
"We thought she was a danger; we didn't know what she was doing."
Profitt explained that he used his foot to try and keep her down because he can't bend over because of back problems. He also says police were alerted to watch her before Paul arrived because people in the crown recognized her as someone who may try and pull a stunt.

The more I learn of this the more it seems clear that she was hoping for something like this so she could make the tea party look bad. Straight out of the Alinsky playbook, I would say.
I am very skeptical of her and her story.
I completely disagree. Women can be just as dangerous as men.
So you would have stood by and allowed Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme murder Gerald Ford, out of some misplaced sense of chivalry? Was the man who wrestled the gun away from her a vile coward?
This creature was charging at Rand Paul. She needed to be stopped like a the rabid dog she is.
LOL, Chet99...bad dogs...sorry. Just didn't expect you here. :^)
yep
Wow...excellent post, very impressive.
Would you make an exception though? Say...for Nancy Pelosi? lol
Women can be much, much more dangerous than men. Duh.
“The guy that stomped her head and the guy that took her down are both yellow cowards.”
How about you wait for obuma to come to your town, slip on a wig and burst out from a crowd holding a metal object and see what happens to you. The SS will take you down so fast, you’ll be lucky to only get your fat head stepped on.
There is no excuse for the behavior of this “activist”. Crowds of people are not to be played with, a stampede could have been caused by her aggressive actions. If she tried to rush the candidate, (recall Sirhan Sirhan), restraint is justified. If the crazies are allowed to take over, our politics could turn ugly fast.
felonies for greenpeace..

Women can be just as dangerous and aggressive as men.”
I have to slightly disagree with you - women can be MORE dangerous then men. Most people don’t expect women to be dangerous so they have an edge up to begin with. The most vicious gang members are females. My daughter worked in a detention center for a while. After a week asked to be transferred from women’s side to men’s. Never talked much about it except to say that the women were less predictable, more vindictive and much more vicious.
I take it from your response that you’ve never had any protective detail training because if you would have you’d know that women are every bit as dangerous as men. When it comes to a person rushing toward a political candidate, gender makes no difference. As others have pointed out, Squeaky Fromme was stupid but very dangerous nonetheless.
They didn’t do anything aggressive to a person.
Spot on.
Here’s a thread with your name written all over it.
You obviously have not met some of the women I have else your attitude would have gotten you killed. We could then say you died like a gentleman.
He just needs to join SEIU - all will go poof in a heartbeat
Hey “DaGman”!
Are you trying to say you’re a “G-Man?”
Wow! You’re really cool!
Ever been in the theater of operations? Sometimes the terrorists put explosives on women and send them through check points. I recall a few times they used retarded kids.
EYE Gez thatz Oh Kay B Cuz U Da kool G man!
I don’t know what the rest of the video shows, but the portion I saw on the local news tonight clearly showed the man PUSHED on her SHOULDER in what seemed like an effort to keep her down.
I’ve wrestled, played football, boxed, and been in a few fights - that man did NOT stomp on her head in the video I saw - it was a relatively mild, “stay in your place”, push on her shoulder.
Maybe a video forensics expert can prove it, although that would be buried by the media.
