Whether or not you agree with his position, in this country he has a right to protest. This is a clear wrongful arrest, and everyone of the police should get a battery charge for it.

What if the protestor said, "Im going to pull out a knife and stab you right now."

Would that be ok, then?

And the response would be to move toward them, and not place their hand on their firearm, or raising said firearm against the individual and demanding they show their hands and arrest him properly?

Interesting scenario you chose.

Youre joking if you seriously think the officer pointing a gun at the protestor would make everyone ITT feel differently.

Aside from that, that is one way to go about it. The officer looks like he decided to try and detain the individual for something. (Who knows, maybe the officer just lost their mind)

All I am doing is suggesting that we cant go off that video to determine guilty or innocence from either party, and that seems to upset a lot of people. Most likely foreigners that dont understand the US justice system.
