The way I see it, the police defused a situation from escalating by removing the man from the scene. Arresting someone is not the same as charging someone with a crime. Until we know if he is being charged or not, I think the police were not in the wrong to remove him from the scene.
I do think what is happening to this country is absurd. ANTIFAgs should be arrested and charged with the crimes they commit. People like Kyle and this man have a right to defend themselves, and they have a right to make a counter-statement at the protests. They did not instigate violence and should not be held any longer than necessary.

I think they were. They stood by and allowed him to be attacked. They shouldn't be removing him from the scene, they should be arresting the attackers.
Acting like they are punishing the guy who did nothing wrong instead of dealing with people doing wrong and creating a blatantly unsafe situation? It's pussy thinking like this that let things get this bad. What are the cops going to do when the next guy doesn't brandish but goes straight to defending himself? (as you're sort of supposed to do anyway).

They're in the wrong for not rounding up antifa with helicopters for free sightseeing tours.

Detaining someone without charges is not a punishment. Was the man charged, or simply removed from the situation by police?
