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.”

What he's saying should have been obvious if it weren't for the liberal media spin (aided and encouraged by the Bush/Romney wing of the GOP). The anti-Trump protesters are the ones disrupting private events and blocking freeways. I've yet to hear of any Trump supporters disrupting Bernie or Hillary rallies, much less blocking public highways.
This was put up YESTERDAY on You Tube. I highly suggest you watch it.
This, may to a certain degree, frighten many people in terms of "what's going on.".
This most definitely is a direct WAKE UP call to EVERYONE.
Wow - we’ve really entered another world ... great youtube !
Only with a wink and a nod to her minions.
FYI- The headline can be somewhat misleading! At first glance some people might think it says, “Trump’s ‘people’ (i.e. supporters)....were the most hateful, evil, etc...”
It should have been written to headline:
“Police officer: Protesters at Trump’s rally were.....”
Good point. They need a smidgen of truth every so often.
They’re the best at their trade. That’s why they get paid the big bucks to do it.
Here’s my post from last September. Note my remark on the protesters in the last sentence. Has only gotten worse.
“I attended the USS Iowa event last night. It was a very patriotic gathering with a lot of veterans in the audience. There were also a lot of enthusiastic young people. One thing that stood out for me is that all the attendees were of the happy and optimistic type that love this country and what it represents. I believe Trump’s popularity stems from the fact these people feel someone is finally standing up for many of the things they believe and will fight hard for them and not give a damn about the consequences. In any event, everyone there had a great time. Of course I can’t say the same for the 200 or so protesters. They were not the happy type.”
Great minds!

It is misleading headline. Article was about the animals that were protesting Trump and his supporters.
If I’m ever at a Trump rally and get into a fight and get arrested, or get media time especially, I’m going to say I’m a Cruz supporter. I want to see if Cruz will take credit for my actions.
