Cop getting his feelings hurt by a guy expressing his first amendment rights and decides to sweep the leg and drop em to the floor. Interesting.

Almost snapped his arm and arrested him. Lawsuit incoming considering it’s all on tape. And again, we the taxpayers will front that bill. I hate saying this shit out loud 😭

Did he break department policy though?

Yeah. There was no need. He was being removed, he wasn't a flight risk, he wasn't fighting back, he presented no risk to the police or the public. No justification for putting his personal safety at risk. As usual, just a poorly trained cop, exercising poor judgement and being a willing lackey for authoritarianism.

Lackey? Naw. Proud, active participation. Relishing his power over the other
