State troopers arrested two people Tuesday after the Texas House speaker asked them to clear the gallery in response to chanting from opponents of a bill that would bar kids from accessing transgender healthcare. A video that Pèrez posted shows them repeatedly saying “don’t touch me” to troopers as the troopers physically guided throngs of protesters out of the gallery. In another clip, taken after the interaction had begun, several troopers can be seen grabbing Pèrez and wrestling them to the ground.
In his statement Friday, Paxton said a trooper had been assaulted by “transgender activists,” and that the decision by District Attorney José Garza to drop Pèrez’s charges showed a contempt for the law that “risks encouraging more violent acts, especially against law enforcement officers and legislators.”
