Hypothetical: what if an angry white male heckled at Hillary at one of her rallies?

Let's just say Hillary is doing a campaign rally, and a stereo-typically angry white male conservative started to heckle at her. About 45ish, pooh-bellied, etc. And he's squawking about abortion, illegal immigration, gays, guns, emails, Whitewater, you know.

Then, let's say Hillary orders her security people to forcibly remove the disruptor. Her bouncers take the guy, rough him up a bit, throw him down to the ground, kick him, stomp on him and make some derogatory remarks.

Now, what would be the media reaction?

This guy the loud obnoxious one would be escorted out no doubt, but not roughed up in the slightest.
