BuzzFeed: Suspect in DM police shooting angry police didn't let him wave Confederate flag at HS game
https://www.buzzfeed.com/tasneemnashrulla/heres-what-we-know-about-michael-greeneA video uploaded to YouTube from an account that appeared to belong to Scott Greene showed him arguing with police officers after he claimed that he had been assaulted at an Urbandale High School event on October 14.
In the video, titled “Police Abuse, Civil Rights Violation at Urbandale High School,” Greene appeared to record the two officers asking him to leave the school property. “Have I committed a crime?” Greene is heard asking the officers. The officer responds, “You’re on private property, you’re on school property, we’re asking you to leave.” They also tell him that he was “causing disturbance in the stands” and could be arrested for trespassing.
“I think I’ve been assaulted by you,” Greene is heard telling the officers. “You grabbed me and shoved me around.” He is later heard telling a third female officer that he wants to report theft of his flag that another officer had taken from him. He is also heard saying that he wants to press charges against someone who hit him from behind while he was in the stands.
In a comment below the video, Greene said, “I was offended by the blacks sitting through our anthem. Thousands more whites fought and died for their freedom. However this is not about the Armed forces, they are cop haters.”
In another video, Greene is seen holding what appears to be the American flag and the Confederate flag in the stands of bleachers.
