An on-duty Virginia Wesleyan College police officer body-slammed a 52-year-old man and chased him with a baton for supporting President Donald Trump outside of a Bernie Sanders rally at the college over the weekend.

Looks like a lawsuit to me.

LoL @ fat Officer Doofus

He should lose his job for being owned by a middle aged guy carrying a flag.

I wouldn't call that a body slam by any stretch of the imagination. That being said it looks he shouldn't have put hands on that guy like that. Of course, I would like to have more information before I come to that conclusion.

No context to the video (or rather the man pushed to ground admits he was being escorted off campus already and was "walking too slowly for the guard". Do you have proof or even more to the story to support this claim?

Neither of those items is a crime--and its also clear the man isn't resisting. He just standing there. That said---your right. There is no context---including the fact we dont know if that's even a police officer. For all we know that just a security guard.

I wasn't defending the 'officer'. I was only providing the limited context given (context that in no way supports the claim that the man was pushed "for supporting Trump).


Was hoping OP had more to the story. Otherwise it just feels like sensationalized clickbait.

It looks like the security guard got the worst of that scuffle. Fat dude had a hard time getting up. If the guard wanted to avoid an altercation with the flag bearer and the B.Bs (bernie bros) he failed miserably.
