OMG Can We Act Like Adults?

[media=https://youtu.be/kvNAid29vv8?feature=shared]

So today .. rather than stand and wait the turn to ask his questions in an appropriate manner, CA senator Alex Padilla barged into a Christie Noem press conference and beligerently approached the stage, yelling over Noem. Security responded to redirect him and he continued to try and get around them to approach the stage again. Security continued restraining him and eventually removed Padilla from the room.

Very poorly handled on Padilla's part to act this way knowing security is assigned to protect Noem. Perhaps intentional on his part to provoke the incident knowing this ? Security was as polite as possible given his resistance, but did rather forcibly remove him and cuff him in the hallway.

Not handled very well by any involved, including Padilla.

Does anyone have video of the whole interaction? All the news sources I see with video start with people grabbing him and manhandling him out of the room. I don't see him doing anything inappropriate. It didn't seem like anyone was speaking when he was, so he wasn't interrupting a press conference, at which questions would normally be asked, but I want to see a longer bit of video, I have to imagine there is more out there.
@Pherick @samueltyler2 He was resisting security through out the entire effort to address him, well before he identified himself. Noem was actively speaking throughout the video aside from a few seconds looking up to see what the disruption was. Are you trying to spin the proof in the video footage?

@BrandNewMan not the version i saw.
“Can we act like adults?”

A flat no. Our co-presidents are having a bad messy breakup. Citizens are being deported Willy-nilly. SOLDIERS are taking over L.A. The president is threatening a state governor. Same president hesitates on questions about whether he will uphold the Constitution.

The previous president pardoned his son. The current president pardoned violent aggressors from January 6th.

We have no good adult role models.

@BrandNewMan so what would you prefer in the current situation?
@samueltyler2 That judges stick to factual interpretation of the law and the intended scope of their decisions.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@BrandNewMan why do you allude to them not doing so? What facts are being ignored?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
If that is factual, he was wrong initially, but there is really no excuse for the way he was handled.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@BrandNewMan i have not seen the beginning, but did see him pulled to the ground and handcuffed with his face hitting the floor. There was no obvious attempt to treat him with any respect for his office.
@samueltyler2 Face hitting the floor? No. Watch the NBC story again. His face touched it .. only due to his own struggling and resistance as they tried to lower him properly.

@BrandNewMan you have an interesting way with facts!

I ask this question every day sir. ☺
No...no we can't
Have you seen our president?
@catastrophecarnival Yep. He's certainly controversial. I like much of what he pursues/accomplishes. Just wish he could be more "presidential" about it.

Okay, you go first.
That play has been cancelled, media sensationalist puppetry a known repeated tactic by a system with no originality

Red October is a top tier movie 👍
@tenente Most factual response to the post yet. Not an iota of the obvious exaggerations in several of the others.
