I agree with you 100% other than the fact that you think im missing the point. I understand the illegal protest, permit required. BUT if you watch from 1:45 to 2 minutes in the video he is giving him hell for DISPLAYING THE FLAG and I dont think that both sides are in the wrong. They are not enticing one another. The second a police officer tells me i CANNOT display my country flag, that my friend is a game changer. I WOULD REBEL, BECOME BELLIGERANT, and SITE MY RIGHTS AND FREEDOM for the sake of MY country a well.. The officers i believe in this case enticed the citizens to anger and forced them to defend there rights and freedoms.. I think you and most other Americans would do the same if told you could display your flag.
