Police tase 2 demonstrators at Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall

Three audience members were arrested and about twice as many were removed from the event held in the Georgia Republican's district.

Several audience members were escorted out of a town hall Tuesday night in Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Georgia district, with police stunning two attendees.

Video shows a man being wrestled to the ground as he is escorted out of the event by a group of officers before an officer deployed a stun device as the man rose to his feet. Some members of the crowd can be heard cheering.

Greene had warned the audience against protesting during remarks shortly after an audience member interrupted her at the beginning of the event at a community center in Acworth.

“This is a town hall; this is not a political rally. This is not a protest. If you end up in wanting to protest, if you want to shout and chant, we will have you removed, just like that man was thrown out. We will not tolerate it,” Greene said.

Acworth police said in a statement that officers were “threatened, physically resisted, and harmed in the process” of trying to remove Johnny Keith Williams, 45, of Dallas; Andrew Russell Nelms, 40, of Atlanta; and Kiyana Davis, 28, of Dallas, who were all arrested in connection with disrupting the event.
