How long before Americans do more than protest?

There must be another video out there of the attack on Kenneth, because this one seems to be mostly the aftermath (though it starts with the one guy in the blue shirt on the ground), and it’s at best inconclusive as to what happened.

Who’s got a link to a better video?

And who is this alleged minister?

Thanks.

“We didn’t attack him for nothing! He hit [unintelligible word]. [unintelligble word] is a damn minister, idiot!”

“Just the two of you guys attacked him!”

“[unintelligble word] a minister!”

And sorry for the curse in the above, but I was trying to quote accurately. If it had been a stronger expletive I would have censored it.

“You attacked that guy for nothing!”

Then, not so clearly, from the white guy in a blue “health care” shirt who is shown in the beginning of the video having an altercation with Kenneth:

“We didn’t attack him for nothing! He hit is a damn minister, idiot!”

“Just the two of you guys attacked him!”

Again from white guy in blue: ” a minister!”

A bit later you hear the same voice that was from the white guy in blue say “He attacked a minister!”

——————–

At the beginning of the video it shows a black man in a blue shirt on the ground. A white guy in street clothes is standing very close to him, and backs up and is nearly on top of him when the white guy in the blue shirt mentioned above takes Kenneth to the ground.

When the black guy in the blue shirt gets up, he is holding onto his shoulder, walking slowly, and not being aggressive at that time. He does come close to Kenneth and you can hear Kenneth saying “Why did you hit my “.

Kenneth later approaches the person filming the video saying a black guy attacked him, and said he was just selling his flags.

If the black guy that was on the ground in the SEIU shirt at the beginning of the video is the one who Kenneth said attacked him, it looks like Kenneth gave as good as he got, at least to him, or someone else intervened.

… but who is the minister they keep talking about?

I guess a white police officer peaceably detaining a Harvard professor warrants a national discussion, but a mob style beatdown of a citizen exercising his First Amendment right receives deafening silence.
