Fort Lauderdale police confiscated 10 guns Sunday from the home of President Donald Trumps former reelection campaign manager after his wife told them he was suicidal, hits her, and racked and loaded a handgun during an argument, according to newly released police reports.
Brad Parscale, 44, was involuntarily hospitalized under Floridas Baker Act by officers and taken to Broward Health Medical Center Sunday after barricading himself in the $2.4 million home he shares in Fort Lauderdales Seven Isles with his wife, Candice. In reports released Monday, police documented a tense scene in which Parscale after possibly firing a shot inside his house refused to leave and was ultimately tackled by SWAT officers outside the home when he emerged shirtless with a beer in his hand.
I initiated a double leg take down, wrote Sgt. Matthew Moceri, one of the responding officers, noting that the 6-foot-8-inch Parscale towered over him and ignored his commands to get down.
Police have not charged Parscale with any crimes.
Officers say they were first called to the Parscale home around 3:36 p.m. Sunday by a neighbor whod encountered Candice Parscale. When they arrived, police said the two women were in a parked car outside the couples home. Officers said Parscales wife told them the couple had been arguing and her husband had pulled out a handgun and loaded it.

I'm far too cynical to pretend people like parscale would choose empathy.

And Trump's spokesperson Tim Murtaugh was trying to blame Parscale's wife-beating on the Ds???? Right.
So, if I count correctly, these are Trump's four previous campaign managers from 2016 and 2020:
* Corey Lewandowski
* Paul Manafort
* Kellyanne Conway
* Brad Parscale
What a group.

(82,849 posts)I mean, Parscale's a big guy, 6'8" by all accounts, and yet the police officer didn't feel in mortal fear of his own life, and was able to bring him in pretty much intact. No tasing, no shooting, no choke hold. Guy must have been some kind of super cop to pull that off, doncha think?
