A man stormed the stage and took over the podium during the Kansas City Mayor’s City of the City address. He was quickly taken down.

Here it is as it happened live as a news station was covering it:

Here’s a little background:

KCTV5 – A man charged Kansas City Mayor Sly James during his State of the City address and verbally assaulted him.

Former MO House candidate disrupts Sly James’ speech

Kansas City police Officer Marlon Buie, who is one of James’ two protection officers, grabbed the man and shoved him off the stage at the Gem Theatre.

James, a former Marine, continued with his speech and drew applause. You could hear the suspect still yelling behind the stage at times during the speech.

James said the incident surprised him and he made sure to check the man’s hands to make sure he wasn’t armed.

The man, Derron Black, 31, who unsuccessfully ran for the Missouri House last year, was taken into custody. Some of those who recognized Black said he’s had previous outbursts at political events and was escorted out of at least one political meeting by security.

Here’s another angle of it happening live, with the profanity censored:

I gotta say, that was a marvelous takedown and the Mayor didn’t even flinch. And that just might be the longest profanity-censored beep I’ve ever heard.

Here is ABC New’s report on it that includes a little extra footage:

They slapped the be-jesus out of that loud mouthed, thick headed back-sliding, commie moron!

This is one smart mayor- Having black body guards who can throw a misanthrope to the floor like a raggedy mop and not be accused of police brutality or racism.  Is the message here that the old y to enforce the law is to have all black police? Are black police the only police who are not racists?

Get out here black people. You so funny hehehehe.

You reap what you sow.

The liberal/socialist/progressive agenda against the church, families and morality in America is producing the unintended consequence of more anger and violence in the streets as more and more people feel disenfranchised and alienated by the government policies that are creating their poverty and misery thus believing that violent actions are the only way that their voices will be heard. If those in  government do not recognize this and nothing changes, expect more and more violent outbursts to occur and full blown riots to ensue within our major inner cities. 

Old oriental curse: "May you live in interesting times."

Knocking down the flag was just rhetorical flourish. Otherwise, eloquent protest speech.

Obviously the guy was not intent on physical harm. I did notice that the mayor was rhyming off a list of 'great' public (taxpayer) expenditures as his accomplishments. Is the mayor a Dem?

Isn't this what the guy wanted?  Attention?  I'm not bothering with it.

That's because you haven't heard this one:

TASER-ARMED SECURITY GUARD CHASES BLACK MOBS (You have to watch the videos..incredible)

This will make you laugh, and then stand back in bewilderment of inner city life.

WELL! I sure am glad this wasn't a racist incident. Maybe Darron can get some free 'anger management' from Obamacare.

The security people should have been on top of the intruder before he ever got to the podium.  That's their job.  If that had been a nut with a gun the home audience could have been eye-witnesses to a live broadcast murder!  I thought all "live" reports on TV were now on a 6 second delay to prevent that sort of thing from being shown and that sort of language from being broadcast?

@WolfieUSAI know, the mayor showed amazing restraint and calmness. It was a huge security breach. No doubt if he had shot the mayor libs would be calling for more gun control for the majority of law abiding citizens. It was the Missouri flag he knocked down.
