<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, sir, not true. Any disruptive person is or can be subject to public restraint when that restraint becomes tactically necessary. That moment occurs when the disruption, itself, changes from vocal to physical. So says this thirty-year law enforcement veteran. I cannot count the number of times that I arrived at the scenes of public disturbances to find the culprit or culprits being restrained by concerned citizens. Their involvement was of such legal importance that I can rarely remember even asking more than few of them their names. I never lost a criminal case, and not one helpful civilian was arrested, or later sued civilly by the loudmouth!!!

Is it only OK, in your mind, for Hillary's minions to do so?
