It's in the news reports. It was reported that his mic was cut off and he became angry. We just disagree, MH. He wasn't arrested for violating Roberts Rules of Order. He'll be lucky to get out of this without a criminal record. JMO.

up until that moment he was blathering on, you see a guy in a black suit standing behind the cops, and he gives the hand signal to 'cut him off' to a guy outside of the frame and the cops look at him and make their move.... it is there where his freedom of speech right is being violated. His freedom to hijack a public forum, you mean. The "suit" in the background made the call, a call that everyone else in the room evidently thought was long overdue, judging by their cheers when the kid was first grabbed. and please show me where they first asked him to leave? You're right, the authorities should at least have covered their butts by going through the motion of verbally notifying the "demonstrator" that his time was up. Did you notice how the crowd cheered, at first, when they started to haul the guy off? Do you disagree with me that the crowd was glad that someone was finally cutting the guy off? What do you suppose they were cheering about?
