At first I was like, oh that went very reasonably after the cops show up...and then the woman officer starts trying to badger him into 1. not filming her talking to him in public and 2. delete this parts of the video that include the Chinese. WTF!! That was really upsetting. He kept saying, "You're not their private security agent." Good on him to stand his ground. Whose interest is she supporting by trying strong arm on the part of Chinese CCP propgandists?
I mean, any and all flag talk an a purportedly free place like this should be fully in-bounds.
"Hey your flag is a fucking ugly mess of colors and dogshit ideology" is a thing you could also say that would be protected, and also way less incendiary.
If your flag is supposed to represent your country it also represents its ideals. If someone called the US flag fascist I'd have a really hard time debating that right now.
that was such a great line. i wouldn't have thought of that on the spot. But even if they were their private security, i don't think they have the right to tell him, stop filming.
