Another disturbing video has emerged from the Donald Trump rally in St. Louis today. A bloodied African-American protester at the rally was filmed being taken to an ambulance by police, in a video posted online by Reporter Junius Randolph. This video shows a close look at Cage’s face as he is taken to be treated, bound by zip ties.

How could that be allowed? I fully doubt the protesters are that violent that they need zip ties.

tend to be African-American from what I've seen and the people doing the assaulting all appear white.

Say what you will in the Hillary/Bernie divide but at least those of us that disagree about our particular candidate don't result to violence. Sadly, I'm sure this is seen as weakness by Drumpf and his supporters.

it looks like the criminals who did the assaulting are the police- looks like they slammed him down.

All of a sudden it's illegal to protest at a political rally? Those police might be rent-a-cops and that really is dangerous, they don't know the rules as well.

who got sucker punched weren't rent a cops, they were the real thing. They only arrested the white puncher because of video and public uproar.

How about the people that beat him up? Bound in zip ties, their pics are next right? Trump rallies attract racists from far and wide...who knew?

Got to wonder about Trump's thinking on this - he had to know it would get ugly.

at this point protesters who have been attacked physically should sue Trump for inciting this ugliness. This is the nastiest election season I have ever seen Republicans have lost their damn minds. Trump can make America great by getting out of America
