Is it ever okay for the FBI to tackle and handcuff a senator for asking a question?

Was not tackled. Resisted law enforcement doing their duty, senators are not exempt from the consequences of their actions. Looked on video more like he did it intentionally, presumably to use it as he did almost immediately for political gain by lying about how he was treated. The video shows they were handling him as carefully as possible given his level of resistance. He's a senior senator .. he knows secret service security protocols. He got what he deseved.
Don't believe me he wasn't tackled? Challenge him to stand there and let me tackle his @$$. You can even film it .. that way all can see what that would actually f'ing look like.

@BrandNewMan so you're saying apprehending a senator for simply asking questions is alright if little violence is used?

@NerdyPotato Quit lying. He was not just standing there asking a question at an appropriate point in Noem's speech.
He was barging toward the stage, yelling out and yelling over her. When confronted he did not calm down, he tried to push past security to continue toward the stage. Repeatedly. He continued once removed to the hallway. As a result, he was appropriately cuffed to restrain him.

He got the response he apparently intended to provoke.

Let's try this. Just post the actual video, see what happened, and cut out all the passionate bullshit -

From what I can see, he wasn't "tackled", and he wasn't "barging toward the stage yelling" either.
Do I think it's okay ? No I don't.
