GA Lawmaker demands apology after trooper physically moved her during protest over voting

ATLANTA — A Georgia Democratic lawmaker is demanding an apology after a state trooper physically moved her aside during a small but vocal protest at the State Capitol Friday afternoon.
The incident happened as State Rep. Park Cannon, an Atlanta Democrat, joined other lawmakers and demonstrators to protest against House Bill 531, a large, omnibus elections bill Republicans say is necessary for election integrity, but Democrats insist is more about suppressing the minority vote.
The protest started in the Capitol rotunda but moved into the South Wing as some of the demonstrators approached other House lawmakers who had just adjourned for a lunch break.
Troopers and Capitol police moved in. As one state trooper used a megaphone to advise the demonstrators that protests were not allowed inside the Capitol, telling them to disperse, Cannon used her head to try and block the sound of that megaphone.
Video shows another state trooper ordering her to stand back and physically moving her aside. Cannon was not injured.
But Cannon demanded an apology, and other Democratic lawmakers joined her in a nearly two-hour sit in on the South Wing steps.
Democratic leadership tried to negotiate between law enforcement and lawmakers, but there was no apology.
In a release, a GSP spokesperson said Cannon “impeded” their dispersal order and engaged in actions that could be “construed as obstruction,” though the statement said no charges had been filed.

Dude (who is White) barely tapped her.

"I'm sorry you crossed a line and caused me to have to physically adjust you. I'm really sorry about that and hope nothing like that ever happens again."
Boom. Done and dusted.

“Follow instructions and nothing will happen to you.” Same narrative goes on between police and every thug they deal with but thug gotta thug.

He should go to her house to apologize and then arrest her obstruction.

If Republicans had done this it would be insurrection.
Democrats do it and it is a protest.

If you only read the article without watching the video, you would think picked her up and tossed her or shoved her over. The officer just shoos her a little, barely touching her. This shouldn’t be news. We need to stop giving everyone under the sun headlines and screen time.

Sounds like she was engaged in insurrection.

State Trooper : “You need to move!”
Entitled individual : “ F off.”
I can predict the outcome in this scenario 100/100 times.

Dems cheated to flip GA, took BOTH Senate seats, didn't get caught, paid no consequences , and now are acting like the victims.
Saul Alinksy, 101. Accuse your enemies of guilty the crimes you committed.
The ads the Stacey Abrams group are running to stop GA from securing the vote are pure propaganda gold. Older, southern white male, with a slightly folksy delivery, misinforms the listener that Georgians have been voting by mail for 16 years ! It's wholly disingenuous to the point of being absurd. Yet it's packaged in a believable style.

The concept that touching another person or gently moving them out of your way is worse than blocking someone’s path or obstructing their lawful actions or shouting at them or “getting in their face” or drowning out their voice or blocking the roadway or any of these other aggressive actions used by protesters is absurd.
This is a lie and an abusive control tactic of the left.
DO NOT APOLOGIZE! Instead, get angry and change the narrative.

Aided, abetted and facilitated by the local news media.

I am sure all of the libs here will agree that the trooper should have just shot her. She crossed a line and they all have said since Jan. 6th that is now grounds for shooting an unarmed protester.
Also, didn't Democrats just get the most votes in history with 81 million? Kind of hard to argue your vote is being suppressed at this point.

She was physically trying to interfere by blocking communication. He would have been within policy to cuff and stuff.

They cheated, and won. They don't want to lose again, and will claim what ever they can to maintain that power.
Power and control is the end game. Not the law, not fairness, not equality, not the Constitution - just power and control.

Now we know what Democrats mean when they say "suppressing the minority vote." The "minority votes" are the fake ballots. If HB 531 becomes reality, it will be much more complicated for them to cheat again.
I have yet to meet anyone, Democrat or Republican, who say they weren't allowed to vote.
