It's pretty obvious that Sergeant At Arms had a thing for Brad...
Hand clapping = toe tapping?
Yeah, we know why *he* wanted to get Brad out of that room...

That was amazing. Jumped out of my chair when it looked like he was gonna put his hands on you. Don't want you taking the lumps for the vanished fourth estate. (Where WAS the local press, by the way? Hiding behind the potted plant?)
What a lightning rod you are, Brad, for REPORTING STUFF like you do. A regular toe-tapping, hand clapping, applause inciting, impartial and responsible, well-sourced n bona-fide JOURNALIST. No WONDER you were almost man-handled.
Great work, Alan! Thank you so much for getting this video posted POST HASTE. Amazing turnaround for high urgency matter.

There's a lot of great stuff here, and I hate to dwell on it, but that was some kind of SET-UP, and it should have been persued a little harder.
They were trying to do SOMETHING there. Maybe they were hoping you would go "don't taze me bro" on them and they could discredit you. This was a PROVOCATION.
You handled it well. It was wonderful that the audience started clapping while you were being reprimanded, as it SHOULD have made the point moot.
Did you ever find out who put this goon up to this pathetic task? This guy was so RETHUGLICAN OPERATIVE it wasn't even funny.

I wonder, do you think these cops that hassle people at public events just study all of our pictures before the event so they know who to pick out, or do they have to ask someone that knows the target?
It's hard to get both muscles and brains in the same body.

Yikes, I didn't see the original video of the guy hassling Brad. (something was wrong with the video, overloaded website or something)
Brad needs some bodyguards. People to watch his back from the corruption. I'll happily volunteer if he's in Sacramento, but you ain't gonna get me to wear a suit or cut my hair, I'll happily ponytail it....
That bastard needed to be backed the hell off. So Brad can think and be prepared. When you catch people off guard it's easy to bounce them out of a venue.
I only know this cause I do a lot of venues and I seen a fair share of trouble.
It's like say some rock band is getting ready to play and some asshole is screwing with the lead guitarist cause he's a small guy and away from the band. I've seen this happen before. Why the public allows it is cause they are chicken shit.
I am probably big enough to take that dude right out of the picture. On the other hand what the hell is the world coming to if this crap is allowed to happen. Someone in the threads above said something about "Don't Tase me Bro" and that is quite fitting.
I am all for being civil man, but this is a perfect example of bullshit fascism. How far are we going to let it go?
