Nydia Tisdale testified Friday that she felt “pain and terror” when she was forcibly removed by a law enforcement officer from an August 2014 political rally. “With him pushing his groin against my buttocks, I felt like I was being raped with my clothes on,” Tisdale said. Self-proclaimed citizen journalist Tisdale took the stand in her criminal trial Friday afternoon, offering her version of events leading to her arrest at a GOP rally at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville.
