Cops Beat Up MAGA Lawmaker For Trying To Help Distressed Teen

Republican Representative Ronny Jackson was thrown "face first" into the concrete while being manhandled by police this past weekend. What was the Trump-loving lawmaker's crime? Trying to help a teen that was suffering from a medical episode (likely seizing due to hypoglycemia.) Jackson is an ER doctor, and was attempting to help the teen when her family members say that police started shouting profanities at Jackson before grabbing him and slamming him into the ground and putting him in handcuffs. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains this bizarre incident.

So here is a truly bizarre story of an event that happened this past weekend at a rodeo in Texas. Republican representative, Dr. Ronnie Jackson, who of course at one point was the White House physician, the one who came out and said, Trump's the healthiest guy I've ever seen. So he may not be the best doctor out there, but he actually was at a rodeo and there was a young teenage girl having a medical emergency. She had begun having seizures that, uh, it's believed were due to hypoglycemia. Ronnie Jackson, being a former ER physician, responded he was right there. So he is trying to help this girl, and he ended up getting his kicked by the police for trying to help the girl. Now, I have no love for Ronnie Jackson. I've done plenty of segments talking about, you know what a horrible lawmaker he is, how bad he was as Trump's doctor.

But here he was doing the right thing, trying to help a young woman in distress. And for the record, the young woman had two relatives with her who both happened to be nurses, so they were also responding along with Dr. Ronnie Jackson. The police came up and according to one of the relatives and an interview with C N N, they screamed in Jackson's face, get the F out of here, and then grabbed him by his shirt, slammed him face first into the concrete and handcuffed him because he didn't get out of their way. The police officers wanted the doctor to get out of the way in a medical emergency. Let me read you the quote from one of the family members, and the next thing I knew, they had him on the ground, grabbed him by the shirt, threw him on the ground face first into the concrete, and had him in cuffs.

15 year old was seizing due to hypoglycemia, and a doctor was attending to her and police officers, belligerent, arrogant police officers showed up, had no business showing up. What are you gonna do? What are the police officers going to do in that situation? You are not paramedics, you're probably not even C P R trained, but we had a doctor and two nurses on the scene. I don't care if it's a MAGA lawmaker, the reaction from these police officers should immediately result in their permanent termination from ever being a police officer anywhere in the country. Now, once they realized who it was, they let 'em go and they apologized, like, sorry, we slammed your face into the concrete. Sorry, we manhandled you and handcuffed you. You know, we're cops. It's just what we do. We didn't realize who you were. This is how people end up getting killed by police because police respond to incidents that they shouldn't be responding to. When we say abolish

The police, this is one of the things we're referring to. We don't need police officers to show up on the scene of a medical emergency. They're useless, a hundred percent useless. Most of them are. We need paramedics, we need firefighters who have better, you know, healthcare training and we need other medical representatives. Those police officers should not even been near the scene, maybe to keep other people back so that they didn't crowd the woman or trample her, but they had no business being there. They had no business treating Ronnie Jackson this way. Again, political disagreements aside, because this isn't about politics. This is about abusive police officers who beat the hell out of this guy according to the witnesses for no reason.
