Have you heard about this from the mainstream media? Probably not, because it doesn’t fit their narrative. Imagine if something like this had happened at one of Hillary’s rallies — we wouldn’t hear the end of it for weeks upon weeks.

Authorities in Las Vegas arrested a 19-year-old man after he allegedly tried to disarm a police officer at the Donald Trump presidential rally.
Las Vegas Metro police said Michael Sanford approached a uniformed officer and started a conversation looking to get an autograph. Minutes into the conversation, Sanford attempted to disarm the officer, police said.
Authorities said officers assigned to the rally were able to take Sanford into custody with little disruption at the venue. No other incidents or injuries were reported.

According to the Daily Mail, the teenager was from the UK and traveled from California to the Trump rally that was taking place in Las Vegas:
A British man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer’s gun so he could kill the billionaire Republican presidential candidate.
Anti-Trump protester Michael Steven Sandford, 19, even went to a gun range on Friday so he could learn how to shoot.
The teenager, who was carrying a UK driver’s licence, was arrested at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino on Saturday after going for a metro police officer’s gun.
A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds.
It cites a report by Special Agent Swierkowski, whose first name was not included, saying Sandford told officers he drove from California to kill Trump and went to a Las Vegas gun range the day before to learn to shoot.
