A 62-year-old peaceful protester was arrested and dragged by police officers outside of President Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., Saturday while wearing a shirt that said, “I can’t breathe.”

Sheila Buck was seen outside of the BOK Center in Tulsa where Trump held the rally Saturday.

Buck, a Tulsa resident and art teacher, repeatedly told Tulsa police that she had a ticket according to footage captured of her interaction with the police by MSNBC.

She told The Washington Post that she was stopped by federal authorities in plainclothes, who told her she could not enter but did not provide a reason.

4. What about freedom of speech

trumpers can't handle a t shirt? Fucking snowflakes ..

5. And what's more, many of these Chumpkins would have gladly assaulted her

On one hand, police should have never manhandled and arrested her.

But on the other, they probably saved her from getting hurt by some Chumpanzee.

Such are the times we live in.

6. She was arrested siply because she was wearing a "I Can't Breathe" t-shirt. Saw her and her

husband on CNN or MSNBC after she was released. I hope the ACLU or other civil rights organization sues the trump campaign for violation of her civil rights.

7. It's one thing to deny her entrance into the arena, but to arrest her? WTF

Sure sounds like she's got a nice civil rights cause of action against those police officers.
