British MP Suspended for Grabbing & Shoving Climate Activist
------------------------------------------------------------

British parliamentarian Mark Field has been suspended as a minister
after he grabbed a female climate protester by the neck and shoved her.
The incident occurred when dozens of Greenpeace demonstrators staged a
protest at a speech by British Finance Minister Philip Hammond. Police
are now investigating to determine whether Field should be charged with
assault.
