Protester tasered and arrested at Republican town hall

A town hall hosted by Republican Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene in Cobb County, Georgia, was repeatedly disrupted by protesters on Tuesday evening. Footage shows police removing three people within minutes of Greene taking the stage, with officers tasering one man inside the venue. About six people were removed from the event, with three arrested, Acworth Police told CBS News. Officers confirmed a taser had been used on a second attendee. Two arrestees face charges of simple battery on a law enforcement officer and obstructing a law enforcement officer. A third is charged with vulgar language. Greene told reporters she was “very thankful” for how police had handled the incident, saying she was “glad they got thrown out”. In a statement the police department said its officers had been “threatened, physically resisted, and harmed” while removing protesters.
