http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/secret-service-investigating-confrontation-between-reporter-and-agent-at-trump-rally/The Secret Service is investigating a confrontation between a Time magazine photographer and a Secret Service agent at a rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Virginia, the White House said on Tuesday.
The Secret Service is working with local law enforcement to try to get to the bottom of what exactly happened, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters during a briefing. The leadership of the Secret Service has indicated that theyll take appropriate steps based on the conclusion of that investigation.
The rally on Monday was interrupted by protesters, including some from the Black Lives Matter movement. A photographer who was trying to document their removal from the rally was grabbed by the neck and shoved to the ground by a U.S. Secret Service agent.

the forcible removal of the black students peaceably assembled is very troubling. That is doing Trump's dirty work-he ought to hire his own thugs for that-not the Secret Service paid for by American public. There does need to be an investigation by the Secret Service as to both incidents

That was the hosts and local police. It is on their website.
