Dear Mr. President, at a rally for Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, in the last 2 days, a reporter for TIME Magazine was videotaped being thrown to the ground and choked around his neck by a United States Secret Service Agent for the minor violation of leaving the media pen. This is an utterly disgraceful and unacceptable action on the part of a paid civil servant of the U.S. The Secret Service and other Law Enforcement agencies of the United States are *not* the private armies of a particular candidate and do not get to act in a lawless, uncontrolled fashion at the discretion of the candidate(s). This choking therefore must be thoroughly investigated and the Agent involved must be disciplined immediately, promptly, and transparently to the full extent of the law.
