you spoke a bit too soon, the party of free speech, tolerance, and diversity...had a riot in DC last night. Apparently they are angry that republicans exist.

and cops getting shoved in order to get to Rand Paul, but that was an innocent omission on your part, not a deliberate misrepresentation of what happened. Right?

A cop was trying to just keep people at a distance, tripped and bumped into Paul. He walked into a hotel and the protesters walked away. Big whoop. That's no riot.

Paul says the cop was shoved. Please show me the evidence you have, to say he tripped. I'm surprised you didn't say he tripped while reading his skinhead magazine.

No lengths you won't go to. None.

If it's no big whoop, why do you have to distort what happened?

video. Certainly not a riot.

Were they peaceful protesters, or a mob? Id say closer to a mob. At the 1:45 mark, look at the huge guy screaming right in a cops face from two inches away. Thats not threatening?

Gee, the way you put it, the cops weren't even necessary. They should have just stepped aside.

I would think police would usually be present to move a high profile person through a crowd.
