A tense scene unfolded outside a TPUSA event last night when protesters clashed with police officers after refusing to clear the entrance.
Video from the incident shows one protester being slammed to the ground and dragged away after repeatedly ignoring officers’ orders to move back. The crowd can be heard shouting as officers tried to regain control, while others captured the chaos on their phones.
Witnesses said the confrontation began when a group of demonstrators tried to block attendees from entering the building. Police formed a line to push the crowd back, but things quickly escalated when one protester got too close.
The new angle reveals just how fast the situation spiraled out of control. While some online are defending the officers’ response as necessary crowd control, others say the force used was excessive.
Authorities have not yet released details on any arrests or injuries, but the clip continues to spark debate about free speech, protests, and police response tactics.
