Florida AG Pam Bondi Describes Being Surrounded, Harassed By Leftists:
“I Will Not Be Bullied!”
I know you board libs are really proud of some of your fellow libs harassing a woman at a movie theater. Sounds like she wasn't intimated in the least. Yep, you libs are a real brave, classy bunch.
Bondi makes a great point that the aim, often of some of these actions is to have them respond by fighting so they can get that on film. And she refused to oblige.

I wish someone could produce the video that was made by the protesters before the movie began. According to Bondi, she was approached by several men who got in her face screaming and cursing at her as she was getting tickets and trying to make her way inside the theater with her boyfriend. She said she was encircled and prevented from going inside initially until one of her troopers intervened. HARASSMENT and INTIMIDATION pure and simple.

I wasn't there but it may have come to that and they backed off. Why did a trooper have to intervene in the first place if they were just exchanging pleasantries?

Because it would take away strength from the protection detail.
What's the protocol? Get the person your protecting out of there and maybe try to find the guy at a later time?
Yes, in most cases.
Unless the immediate apprehension would eliminate any possible threat. Since there was a mob there this wouldn't have met that criteria. Best practice is to remove the principal from the situation rather than removing the situation from the principal.
Without knowing Florida law I would imagine that it's not really going to be pursued because in all likelihood it's a simple misdemeanor but if it were something more I imagine they would have already made arrests.

In Tennessee, and I assume in some other states as well, a person has the legal right to use deadly for if the person has a reasonable fear of bodily injury or death.
That is, if an average person would believe he or she were about to be physically attacked they could use deadly force to eliminate the threat.

I'm trying to understand why there isn't a vid posted......it's 2018, eh?
the bottom line is why would she lie and why didn't her security protocol handle this effectively....
I don't know the laws in FLA, but that description of verbal abuse should've been an 'auto take-down'......
correct me if I'm wrong on this Kap......
See above.
From the descriptions of the incident and having no video available I would have to say that the best thing that could have happened happened. Get the principal out of the threat area. Initiating an arrest very well could have triggered a worst response from the mob and then you are down at least one, most likely more, of your prtective detail in an even worse situation.

RE: Florida AG Pam Bondi Describes Being Surrounded, Harassed By Leftists:
This is what gets me. Here we have the top law enforcement person in Florida and its security detail couldn't protect her? Heck, were they hired by the Demoncraptic Party or was it Antifa? She says that two big guys got in her face and was close enough to spittle into her face and the cops didn't do anything? What the fudgesicle is wrong with these cops. They were totally useless and if I was her I'd either change them or fire them. A person has a right to his own space (unlike Libturds who need space when confronted with Trump signs) and these misogynestic bullies (where were all the feminists) were harassing a woman, a very important woman.
I'd be P'sed if it happened to my wife, I'd take out at least one of them.

Again, read above.
I'm sure that the Florida Troopers could have done something. It likely would have made a bad situation that much worse and the Troopers required to take action would have degraded the security detail protecting the AG. I very seriously doubt that her security detail is very large to begin with, likely between 1-3 Troopers, so any action, even by a lone Trooper, would seriously degrade the ability for them to protect her. Not to mention the fact that the lone Trooper would be trying to detain someone who may or may not resist in the midst of a hostile crowd. That's a good way to get a law enforcement officer hurt.
They took the prudent measure in this case from what I can tell. They got the AG out of the situation without her getting harmed.
RE: Florida AG Pam Bondi Describes Being Surrounded, Harassed By Leftists:
I agree with Kap. In this current toxic climate, you're number one goal is to minimize the confrontation because you don't know if these folks are armed, drugged up, etc. Obviously, if the AG was in immediate threat of physical harm the reaction of the trooper would've been different. I believe in the OP video she mentioned that "her trooper" had to intervene - that sounds like only one was in the immediate area. So how many folks in total were there accosting the AG? More than 4-5? That makes common sense to me to get the AG out of the situation vs. a heads on confrontation. Also, the AG made it known that she was not going to be intimidated or forced away. The trooper was probably trying to honor her request. It's a tough situation but thankfully it resulted in no one getting hurt. I have a feeling the entirety of the video will surface and that may help answer some of the questions.

It's time for President Trump to remove funding from the Capital Police and eliminate all Congressional leadership protective details.
Then, he should take those Capital Police officers and assign them to Cabinet officials and make the statement that he is doing so explicitiely because of Maxine Water's call to violence.
