Nov 2016

This a video that he posted on youtube after an run in with police at a football game. Apparently he thought it would be a good idea to sit in the stands with a group of African American students and wave the confederate flag during the national anthem. He was asked to leave the game and Urbandale officers were there to escort him from the scene.

Also, he ambushed both officers. They were sitting in their cars and had no chance to respond. I am sickened by this. I don't mean to trivialize all the bad officer involved shootings, I know we have bad officers out there but we have a lot of good ones also who just do their jobs.
