I posted this comment with the three videos in question:
Louisiana has a unique TWO STEP process, both a primary AND a caucus. Ron Paul won the caucus in a landslide and that is how delegates to the state convention to choose national delegates were chosen. This is a huge story, the state establishment tried to change the rules to make their temporary chair permanent, instead of being elected at convention, and to make the MINORITY win instead of the majority. It was outlandish, but the Paul delegates actually dominated the rules committee as well, and elected their own rules chair.
this video shows first motions and points of order ignored by the temporary chair, justifying his removal, even had he been elected, which he never was. You see the establishment attempt to put in thier guy as rules chair to get a rubber stamp 'ratification' of the 'minority rules' rules the establshment tried to get into effect. Before that ratification, you see the body of the convention REMOVE AND REPLACE the rules chair, and so existing, 'majority rules' rules continued to govern, and primarily Paul supporters were picked as delegates (except some bound to Romney by the primary portion of the Louisiana system.) You also see the REAL, new, rules chair as well as the newly voted in chair removed by off duty policy the establishment hired as security. (they barred the Paul delegate security from entering.) In the process, the newly implanted prosthetic hip of the chair was injurred and he had to be taken off by ambulence. The real rules chair had fingers broken and returned walking with a cane.
Watch the video, the rest is self explanatory:

Other video with closer views of the assault's at the direction of the old party establishment by the off duty police hired as security exist where the second man grabbed warned he was handicapped (he had recently had hip replacement and landed on his hip when he was taken down by the security).
One of the closer angles of the Henry Herford assault ( the guy with the recent hip replacement)

Here is a better video of Helwig, the rules chair being taken off by the hired off duty police you saw at about 2:30 of the first video, this is the guy whose fingers were broken and who returned walking with a cane. You can hear cracks and him yelling.
