CNN analyst Josh Campbell, a former FBI special agent, defended the actions of Secret Service and FBI personnel in removing Sen. Alex Padilla from a press conference. He categorized the incident into three phases, stressing the appropriateness of action taken against someone interrupting a non-Q&A event. However, he raised concerns about the aggressive tactics employed, such as forcing Padilla to the ground and handcuffing him, questioning whether alternative measures could have been used during the encounter.
From a law enforcement perspective, we're really looking at three separate incidents that happened within a short period of time, Campbell explained.
There will be big questions raised about those kinds of tactics, Campbell said. Were there other options that were available to the federal agents?
