His attorney will have a field day with that.

If he is an abuser, lock his ass up and throw away the key, but at that point he did not appear to me to be a threat to the police or others.

Anything the con touches goes to crap.

I have to say that republicans have the unmidas touch, I used to think of GW Bush the same way, as a matter of fact I drew once a picture of Bush walking, and in front of him there are flowers, nice colors, nice things, but as he moves along he leaves destruction behind him. So I think that is a republican trait, to screw everything in their paths.

Yup.

My exact thought when I saw this video.
Hope his wife marries a kind Black man & takes all he owns before the feds seize it.
Brad can sit in prison till his creepy beard turns white.

Yes, arrest him, but there was no need to throw his ass on the ground.

And this is what happens when you don't get enough people to go to a Trump rally.

But, without the knee-on-neck action, it seems unauthentic.
