A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia outside of Atlanta on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters.

Ms. Greene, a Republican firebrand and loyal ally of President Trump, had barely reached the podium to speak when a man in the crowd at the Acworth Community Center stood up and started yelling, booing and jeering at her. As her supporters stood and clapped, several police officers grabbed the man, later identified by the police as REDACTED, and dragged him out of the room.

    officers grabbed the man, later identified by the police as REDACTED of Atlanta, and dragged him out of the room.

    The man’s identity should not be allowed to be publicly blasted to the media by police for checks notes NOT committing a crime.

      The official attitudes about this are interesting. In some countries they’re more worried about protecting the privacy of the accused. In other countries they identify the accused because they’re worried about people being disappeared.
