Obamunists, allied with violent anarchists and anti-capitalists, tried to halt Sarah Palin’s motorcade and probably assault the Governor and her family. Luckily police from Grand Junction, Colorado saved the day and wrestled the Manson-esque group away from the Governor, but during the altercation one of the Obama supporters shoved a police officer in front of a moving car! Here’s video:
CNN reports the incident this way:
Protesters tried to block the motorcade of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in Grand Junction, Colorado, on Monday, but police dragged them out of the way.
The incident — just feet from the car carrying Palin — was captured on video by CNN affiliate KKCO-TV.
Eight to 10 protesters broke away from a larger group of demonstrators and darted into the street in front of Palin’s car just after the first police motorcycles in her motorcade had passed, said Acting Chief Troy Smith of the Grand Junction Police Department.
Wearing bandanas and with their faces covered, the protesters blocked the path and held up a large banner. Officers stopped their motorcycles, grabbed the protesters and dragged several out of the path of the oncoming motorcade.
At least two demonstrators were tackled and forced to the ground before being pulled away. One officer fell backwards into the path of an approaching vehicle but he was able to get out of the way in time.
Palin’s vehicle passed without a problem as other protesters chanted on the sidewalk, about a block from a site where Palin had addressed a rally.
Smith said officers saved the protesters from injury because “the motorcade likely would not have stopped” for them. He said “we don’t know what their intentions were” in trying to block Palin’s motorcade.
If by “fell” you mean got shoved by some would-be murderer than I guess that’s what happened. Police are investigating the incident.
