There have been multiple versions of this meme going around. Essentially, "If they'll handcuff a Senator, what will they do to you.". There are multiple problems with this narrative. First, the video clearly shows Padilla interrupting a private press conference, and shouting over Noem. Second, the video clearly shows Padilla rushing the podium and initiating physical contact with the security detail. Third, he did not "identify" himself as a senator until after he started the altercation and (apparently) wasn't wearing an identification pin that would have identified him as a senator. The simple reality is that the security detail did what they are trained to do, and did so with a minimum of force. They also quickly rectified the situation. Maybe, had Padilla acknowledged that he got a bit overzealous and shouldn't have behaved the way he did, this would have gone differently. Instead he and his minions have tried to blow this up into something that it clearly was not. Of course the lemmings jumped on the narrative without regard to the facts.
But, let's look at what "they will do to you". Newsome arrested people for being alone on beaches, for surfing alone, used force to close churches, all while flouting his own rules. Walz used the MN national guard to go through neighborhoods and intimidate people who were merely spending time on their own porches, while simultaneously allowing thousands of rioters to fill the streets of MPLS for days without risk of anything. No masks, yes looting and arson, virtually no one arrested for either.
Finally, those posting this meme either participated in or supported people being fired, jailed, punished, having their children taken away, and caused untold damage to a generation of children because of a virus with a survival rate well over 95%.
The answer is that we know exactly what they'll do to us, because we have memories of the Biden administration.

Of course they're referring to what this administration will do to us, but I'm good with lower interest rates, grocery prices, inflation, gasoline prices, tax rates, etc.
I also like as soon as he had the opportunity, he exploited his episode and said he wasn't arrested (which he wasn't) and wasn't detained, which is pretty stupid since nothing says "detained" by being forced out of a room, then down to the floor and then handcuffed and hauled away.
I agree with those who suggested this was a set up and that he intended to incite a response like that which he received. One such person suggesting it is here:

Sounds like a reasonable possibility to me.
I agree that it is likely that he was trying to provoke exactly the response he got. It is obvious that her security handled this correctly by neutralizing the perceived threat, and releasing him when they had the details.
It's hilarious that the party of "No Kings", who foisted Harris on the electorate without a single primary vote, chooses to ignore the king like actions of their side during COVID in this conversation.
