Is there video of them taking down the American Flag and putting up the Trump flag?

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought I saw that happening live.

Clip is here. I think the roping is scaffold roping. An American flag was dropped, but it appears to be a small 3 by 5 carried by the rioters. The flag is on one of those broom stick style poles.
