Trump Rally Attendee Wearing ‘I Can’t Breathe’ Shirt Removed And Arrested At Campaign’s Request

A woman wearing a shirt that said “I can’t breath,” a popular slogan among anti-police brutality protesters, was removed from President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma and subsequently arrested on Saturday despite having a ticket to the event and behaving nonviolently.

After seeing pictures of this dismal rally, Trump is going to ask that person to come back. LOL!!! Epic Fail!!

She’s brave. I’m actually relieved she got arrested rather than pulped by the mob. Since she’s white she’s probably safer in police custody.

She was arrested for displaying impure thoughts. She should have known better.

Arrested on what charges?

They should have let her in. Reports are the venue is not full and they cancled the outdoor appearance because there is no overflow. Trump blames the protesters for the short fall.

Failure to obey the “man”

Is this possibly another sign of eroding support?

Have to wonder how Faux Noise is spinning the turnout. Of course they have to be focusing only where the crowds are and avoiding those empty upper decks.

None. It was an illegal arrest. The Tulsa police are corrupt.

The crowd may not have been overflowing, but the excuses positively runneth over. Too bad they didn’t have a bunker for those poor, scared Trump supporters braving that horde of ravenous protesters.

That should teach them. They hyped it non stop and look what happens. Of course they blame the protesters but that excuse makes his “supporters” look like cowards. Here he was hoping for some glory and instead he got this. I love it.

Maybe the GOP event just proves that the GOP is not full of it.

She is lucky the police didn’t choke her at the campaigns request.

I watched the entire arrest unfold live on MSNBC today.

The woman was just sitting by herself, after being admitted to the secure area. Security let her through with her “I Can’t Breath” shirt on. A Trump-badged security guy comes up to her, asks her to leave; she refuses and is then DRAGGED out of the secure area and thrown into a police cruiser. At one point, one of the Tulsa officers rips her face covering off.

She was arrested for “trespassing” although she had a ticket and was already admitted to the event.

Charges will be dropped, as the dumbass Trump campaign person who called the PD will have to testify at her trial. He’ll be long gone come midnight tonight.

If a tree fell on Trump but no one was there to see or hear it, is he still a dumbass?

There were multiple news outlets and individual photographers viewing the entire arrest.

The Trump campaign security guy looked like ex-military. Lots of tattoos and a buzz cut.

He was also wearing a brown colored shirt. Coincidence to another time in history?

Imagine sleeping outside a grade school for 3 nights to get into a 3rd grade production of Rapunzel. That would still be eminently more reasonable than what some of these folk did to get into this moribund rally.
