This should never happen

I am sure there will be some here that will rationalize this behavior or show examples from the other "side" of similar behavior. There is just no excuse to step on this woman the way that Mr. Profitt did in the video. Turns out that Profitt was the campaign coordinator for Rand Paul. Just so everyone is clear, I have no problem detaining someone the way they did in the beginning of the video, but what Profitt did is unacceptable and an act of a coward. What a disgraceful man this is.

In other words;
What can we take away from this? Here's the advice from Gawker: "You don't step on people's heads. Ever! Okay? Even if you disagree with them; even if they're pulling a silly stunt; even if you are a hysterical old white person scared to death of imaginary communists." And one other thing: "Kentucky, take a chill pill."

Rand Paul Supporters Rough Up MoveOn Activist

(CBS/AP) Supporters of a Republican U.S. Senate candidate wrestled a woman to the ground and one stepped on her head after she tried to confront the candidate in Kentucky.

The incident happened Monday night in Lexington right before a debate between Rand Paul and Democratic opponent Jack Conway. Lauren Valle of liberal group MoveOn.org, told Louisville station WDRB she was trying to give Paul a fake award when his supporters took her to the ground.

Television footage shows Valle's blonde wig being pulled off before she's pinned to ground. A man then puts his foot down on her head. Valle said the incident left her with "a bit of a headache."

A police watch commander said early Tuesday that she didn't know if any arrests were made.

DID you watch the video he is stepping on her back/left shoulder NOT HER HEAD, I think some people need to get glasses especially the people at CBS news and the rest of the media

You are correct....this should never happen...on EITHER side. And you are also correct in that someone here will show something similar from the other side....BUT.....not to rationalize, as you suggest...but to ask the question...where was CBS and other MSM when conservative Ken Gladney was beaten by the SEIU thugs, earning them the title of "THE PURPLE PEOPLE BEATERS"??

For that matter, where were Jessie and Al, after all, Mr. Gladney is black!!
