A white man in a cowboy hat appeared to sucker-punch a black protester being escorted out of Donald Trump's North Carolina rally on Thursday, according to multiple videos of the incident.
The protester, identified by The Huffington Post as Rakeem Jones, can be seen in video footage waving his middle finger at the crowd as he's escorted by men in uniform up the stairs of the Crown Center Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Then the man in the cowboy hat, who has not been identified, approaches the aisle and seems to punch Jones:
Boom, he caught me. After I get it, before I could even gain my thoughts, I’m on the ground getting escorted out," Jones told the Washington Post afterward.
Jones told the Post he went to the rally with a "diverse" group of friends including a white woman, a Muslim and a ? man. He also said he thought the Cumberland County officers responsible for escorting him out of the rally failed to protect him.
“It’s happening at all these rallies now and they’re letting it ride,” he told the Post. “The police jumped on me like I was the one swinging.”
The uniformed officers took Jones to the ground after he appeared to be punched and handcuffed him. Here's video of that from another angle:

I was about to make this thread
Peep how the cops don't even react to that cac punching the brother, but are gung ? about subduing the brother after he was punched.. -
Police tackled him after he got punched. Had zero reaction to the cac that assaulted someone.
Imagine if cacs were being attacked at Obama rallies....cops would use those videos to make arrest.
Any black person that supports trump needs to be stabbed repeatedly with a turkey leg bone. -
Glad this was caught on video. Those ? cops all saw dude punch him.
Trump is emboldening racists to act up. -
Cops are soldiers of white supremacy. It's that simple. We know that these Trump rallies are KKK meetings in disguise and supposedly cops are neutral, and it's quite telling that they subdued the guy that got punched but not the guy that did the punching. But let them tell it, it's a mere coincidence.

AYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WNCN) – A 78-year-old man who authorities believe was seen in a now-viral video punching a protester at Donald Trump’s Fayetteville rally Wednesday has been charged by authorities.
John McGraw
John McGraw
The video, shown below in a tweet by New York Daily News writer Shaun King, appears to show a Donald Trump supporter punching a protester as he’s being escorted out by security at the Trump rally held at the Crown Coliseum.
John McGraw, 78, of Linden, has been charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct for his involvement in the incident.
At the end of the video, the protester, identified as Rakeem Jones, is seen being tackled to the ground and arrested by security.
Cumberland County Sheriff Earl “Moose” Butler said in a statement,
No one should be subjected to such a cowardly, unprovoked act as that committed by McGraw. Regardless of political affiliation, speech, race, national origin, color, gender, bad reputation, prior acts, or political demonstration, no other citizen has the right to assault another person or to act in such a way as this defendant did. I hope that the courts will handle this matter with the appropriate severity for McGraw’s severe and gross violation of this victim’s rights.”
After his arrest, McGraw was taken before a magistrate who set his bond at $2,500 secured.
His next court date is April 6.
