Donald Trump about his feelings toward a heckler in Nevada:

“He’s walking out like big high-fives, smiling, laughing. I’d like to punch him in the face,” he said to a roar of approval from the crowd.

At least 52 people were arrested or cited in connection with Trump events from Feb. 29 to March 14, according to police departments. Thirty-two of these arrests took place at a St. Louis rally on March 11.

Trump told interviewersthis week no one has been hurt at his rallies and claimed he doesn't condone violence. He frequently has taunted protesters and has encouraged followers to harass them. He once goaded fans to "knock the crap" out of tomato-throwing protesters.His injury-free claim isn't true. News reports and police reports for the period show there were at least 20 incidents of physical violence at Trump rallies, including force used by security officials.

The reports include incidents like, "a Trump supporter, was shoved against the metal barricades and began to cry," at a rally in New Orleans, and "police said that they used pepper spray two times," at a rally in Kansas City. (In Louisville, Kentucky, four cases filed with police complained about assault or physical harassment. One victim said "she was called the racial slur 'n*gger' while she was being pushed, shoved, and hit during the rally," according to police documents.
