Constituents to Allen West: "hands off Medicare!"

Initially, I wasn't interested in posting this because you'd have to be living under a rock to know that 1) Americans nationwide (even registered Republicans) are against destroying Medicare as the Ryan plan would do and 2) that Allen West usually rigs his town hall meetings with his own supporters so he never has to deal with any real criticism. But, with my posts on the abolition of the 4th amendment this week by the Supreme Court and on police brutality, it is quite interesting to see what happens at the end of the video. Was that cop going to arrest the old guy doing the chanting? How much force would have been used? Either way it speaks volumes that our elected officials who aren't special or any better than anyone else and can't deal with real questions from real, concerned Americans act/think they have the right to use police as their own personal security force to muscle the crowd into submission.
