MTG defends use of taser on protester at town hall
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) defended the use of a stun gun against a protester at her town hall event Tuesday night in Acworth , GA.
During the event, multiple protesters were escorted out and two attendees were stunned by police. Acworth police said in a statement that officers were “threatened, physically resisted, and harmed in the process” of trying to remove Johnny Keith Williams, 45, of Dallas; Andrew Russell Nelms, 40, of Atlanta; and Kiyana Davis, 28, of Dallas, who were all arrested in connection with disrupting the event.
Williams and Nelms were arrested on suspicion of simple battery on a law enforcement officer and obstruction of a law enforcement officer. Davis was arrested and accused of using vulgar language.
