The election of Donald Trump has left everyone in absolute shock. Whether you are utterly excited or outraged with the result, the reaction in the rest of the so-called free world has been one of angst.

A video posted by Morton County  Police Department on December 6th showcases why the crowd control means at their disposal are difficult if not impossible to have caused the injury of Sophia Wilansky.
