During a town hall meeting by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Acworth, Georgia, protests erupted with significant disruptions. Police had to remove at least six protesters, with two requiring Tasers for compliance. Tensions escalated early on, as some attendees interrupted Greene's remarks and chanted messages related to controversial issues. Law enforcement preemptively anticipated disruptions and coordinated efforts to handle the situation which resulted in multiple arrests. Greene assured the crowd that the event should be peaceful, indicating the unrest was unexpected despite prior intelligence about potential disruptions.
At least six protesters were led out by law enforcement during the hour-long forum, according to the Acworth Police Department.
While attempting to remove the subjects from the event, officers were threatened, physically resisted, and harmed in the process.
