This is an outrageous assault, and any of Val Demming’s security team who participated should be arrested for assault.
Every Campaign uses video trackers. You don’t get to beat them up.
Here are the videos.

Florida Politics reported Demming’s campaign’s response: “Security officials take potential threats and threatening behavior toward the Chief seriously,” said Christian Slater, Communications Director for Demings campaign. “In this instance the individual did not respond to multiple requests to leave and charged at security personnel in pursuit of Chief Demings’ approaching vehicle.”
Which is a bunch of bull. Journalists and video trackers all rush towards the person they’re supposed to be covering. We’ve all seen them do it a million times.
Here's the second part of the scuffle in which one of Val Demmings' security guys tells a video tracker after shoving him to the ground "In corrections, I used to bounce people like you off their head in the jail.” pic.twitter.com/00fcY1Khbp

In the second video, one of the security guys brags about beating prisoners up while he was a correction officer saying,
“In corrections I used to balance people like you off their head in the jail.”
Maybe FDLE needs to open an investigation to determine if prisoners have been abused by this man in the past.
