Call it straight up...why wasn t John McGraw, 78 arrested immediately after punching a black protester the cops were escorting out?

I actually want Trump supporters to call it like they see it. Many claim they like straight talk...so do I

"McGraw appears in the video to punch a black protester in the face as he was being escorted out of the venue with a group of protesters by a half-dozen police officers. The incident occurred during Trump s rally Wednesday night in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The department has also opened an internal investigation probing whether the officers in the video, who did not detain or arrest McGraw on site, should have done so, Swain said."

    The police pulled Mr. Jones out, because they were badly outnumbered by the Trump supporters in the crowd. If they had tried to arrest McGraw at the scene it could have ended up being very dangerous for both Mr. Jones and the officers involved.

    PS

    I'm encouraging all my friends to get purchase firearms and get trained on them. It is also wise to prepare a safe room in your house. It's not that he has any chance of winning it is what will happen when he looses. These people are getting used to doing violence and getting away with it. What the media reports is the tip of the iceberg. There is also a lot of vandalism and attacks against random people not just protestors. I also had armed Trump supporters show at my door at 4:30 in the morning and attempt to put Trump signs on my property while yelling "you're either with us or against us!" at anyone who passed by. Law enforcement can be slow to react and there is no reason to believe that violence won't escalate after election day. I just got my cc permit and now I carry at all times. All this bedlam makes me glad I live in American and in a state that honors my second amendment rights.

    To be truthful I couldn't get the video to download but in the meantime I had a brief fantasy of Obama the Polychrome Knight intervening in favor of losing this guy in the federal mental health system. Put him in with Hinckley. After all, Obama doesn't have to face reelection. Where is his Waco? Gotrta have, right? Consider this a call to tyranny.

    A lot of American cops are racists. And most don't like arresting old white people. And or some stupid reason right-wingers are given much more latitude for violent behavior than left-wingers are for simple civil disobedience.

    I don't know about if or why not he was arrested or not, but that old man had a heck of a punch to knock that young guy to the ground with 1 punch.

    Since I was there I can tell you what happened. He was a member of Black Lives Matter and went out of his way to try and start a riot. So he got slugged in the face. He deserved it

    That was just part of the mostly peaceful protest over the protester trying to interrupt the rally.

    It's illegal for a black man to attack a white man's fist with his face in North Carolina apparently.
