"You are a drama queen," said the cop to the man he'd just thrown to floor.

Or... what just happened here?



"Wisconsin Capitol Police have been arresting people in the Capitol for singing their grievances against the Scott Walker Administration without a permit for the last two weeks. [On August 5] during one of the multiple arrests, Officer Michael J. Syphard grabbed videographer Arthur Kohl-Riggs and threw him to the ground without any kind of warning or request to move."

What happened in that video?
	The cop justifiably moved an intrusive man aside and the man took a drama-queen dive.
	The cop brutalized a man who was exercising his rights as a citizen.
	The cop was abrupt and the man chose to go all the way down to express his objection to being moved.
	2 men with different agendas intersected in an unfortunate way, but neither did anything bad.
