Accused cop killer waved Confederate flag at football game to protest cop haters sitting out anthemTRAVIS GETTYS
02 NOV 2016 AT 09:56 ET
The suspect in the ambush killings of two Iowa police officers was kicked out of a high school football game last month after clashing with black fans over his Confederate flag.
Scott Michael Greene was identified by police as the gunman who fatally shot the officers in separate attacks early Wednesday morning in the Des Moines area. He remained at large as of 9:30 a.m. Wednesday and is considered armed and dangerous.
A YouTube video uploaded to an account belonging to Scott Greene appears to show him arguing with Des Moines police officers after he claimed he was assaulted by fans Oct. 14 at a football game at Urbandale High School.
The officers asked the man to leave school property after the altercation, which witnesses said Greene instigated by carrying an American flag and Confederate flag. I think Ive been assaulted by you, Greene says to the officers. You grabbed me and shoved me around.
Greene posted a photo of himself holding the flags as several black fans in the background appear to yell at him, which his caption shows he considered a civil rights violation.
