Like they are on "our side" now?

Free speech is less free in Arkansas. In fact, volunteers with Tradition Family and Property (TFP—Louisiana) were recently attacked in Little Rock during a peaceful rally against Obamacare and its HHS mandate. The incident occurred on July 17.
Man Targets American flag
At the McCain Mall in North Little Rock, a middle-aged man came up from behind the group as they calmly prayed the rosary. First he said, “Praise be Mary,” giving the impression he was friendly. Next he shouted, “Get the hell out of here!” and rushed our American flag bearer Elias Bartel, knocking him off his feet with a violent blow. Old Glory fell over, but not completely because the 19-foot flag pole caught a power line on the way down and was quickly recovered and set upright again.
“I was pretty shocked… The first thing he did was target the American flag. He wanted to throw it on the ground,” said Bartel. “What he did was beyond disrespect.”
Second attack
The attacker did not stop there. Without pause, he immediately assaulted our second volunteer, Jesus Guerra, who was holding the TFP banner which displays a rampant lion and the motto: “Tradition, Family, and Property.” As the video clearly shows, our young volunteer was pushed with such violence that he fell backward onto a fire hydrant. The banner also fell.
“I’m bruised, but not about to give up,” Guerra remarked. “The attacker’s behavior reflects the socialist mindset: if they can’t win the debate, they bully you. If they can’t silence the Church on moral values, they use mandates and intimidation.”

Lucky you weren't electrocuted.
The video (with the vehicle license tag) was given to police...
Nothing since.... Hmmm.....
Observations:
....(1) The guy has short hair-- not an OWS type...
....(2) Likewise...intentionally deceptive approach with "command-voice" verbal skills once the assault began... AND
....(3) Quick stance/readiness for close combat after assulting the 2nd man....
********
My humble surmise:
This "perp-guy" was an off-duty LEO...
With a union-thug attitude....
bouncing these college kids just for fun..
ERGO...
This assault complaint and the evidence are strangely lost in the shuffle....
I’m glad someone got a picture of him and his license plate.
When the productive class finally come to blows with the parasites it’d be a mistake to assume all LEO’s will be on our side. They are public employees and union members.
Too bad Chuck Norris wasn’t ther to give him anattitude adjustment.
Too bad Chuck Norris wasn’t there to give him an attitude adjustment.
Simple solution...Provide them with the opportunity to spend months in intensive are evaluating obamacare...
Why was the license plate blacked out in the video ? The identity of the thug needs to be publicized.
