I'll tell you why. Because no one spit on anyone. But why should we be surprised, the left always has to lie to make its point.
If you watched the video, the representative went back with a police officer to look for the spitting a**hole.

You condone spitting on someone?
Try it sometime and see where it gets you.

In the context of criminal law, "assault and battery" are typically components of a single offense. In tort law, "assault" and "battery" are separate, with an assault being an act which creates fear of an imminent battery, and the battery being an unlawful touching. Assault and battery are intentional torts, meaning that the defendant actually intends to put the plaintiff in fear of being battered, or intends to wrongfully touch the plaintiff. The wrongful touching need not inflict physical injury, and may be indirect (such as contact through a thrown stone, or spitting).

I don't think they destroyed the tent, just released the supports, and I don't see anyone assaulted, canvas falling onyour head doesn't really hurt.

Still they should have not taken down the tent but it sure seems like this was a set up, what were they doing inside the tent, why did they need a tent.

Congratulations to the citizens of Michigan on the expansion of your freedom.

The new law doesn't destroy unions, it just gives people the freedom to join and contribute or to choose not to join and contribute. Why is it that the dems. are all for the right for a mother to choose to end her babies life, but is against the right of an individual to choose or decline to join a union.

Like I said it would have been assault, there was a police officer right next to him who clearly recognized that he was acting. Thus no arrest. If anything you had a screamer who can't say it without spraying it.

No, but tent poles do.

I agree, it did seem like the guy outside the tent who was telling them not to take down the tent was hoping that they would do just that.

The coward who hit the reporter has been challenged to a fight in a ring with proceeds going to either the union of his choice or the reporter's choice of charity.

Think the thug will respond?? Probably not. Wuss.

A left leaning site says it was faked and staged and blamed on the unions.
They said the Republicans did it to themselves.

But the union folks came in to save those trapped in the fallen tent by cutting it with their knives to free the people.

And I have read several reports that said after the tent was knocked down it was trampled and shredded by people with knives.

So, it was a fake attack, staged by the Republicans and blamed on the unions.
The union people got caught on tape but they were saving the people trapped in the tent knocked down by the Republicans.

Hey..just the messenger here. A story can be spun however you want these days and thrown out on the internet.

That story isn't going to fly. They already have the names of some of the union thug attackers:
