Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas was handcuffed and placed on the ground face-first by local law enforcement while he was trying to assist a teenage girl in medical distress at a rodeo over the weekend, according to a witness who spoke to CNN.

“He was trying to tell them that he was a doctor and probably trying to tell him who he was, to be honest. And they were screaming that they did not effing care who he was,” she said. “And the next thing I knew, they had him on the ground, grabbed him by the shirt, threw him on the ground, face first into the concrete and had him in cuffs.”

      A drunk quack with a medical license, still more qualified to assist in a medical emergency than any cop.

      Regardless of his addictions or opinions, he is a doctor and therefore much more suited to first aid than any of the cops that showed up just to beat someone up
