One man, wearing an American flag around his neck, can be seen heaving camera equipment into the air and smashing it onto a pile of the seized equipment.  

In another video, the enraged Trump loyalists chant “CNN sucks” while they vandalise cameras and other media equipment.

Nothing even remotely close to this sort has been witnessed in recent memory.
