A 60-year-old Maryland man was arrested and charged with three counts of second-degree assault after a video showed him allegedly accosting a young adult who was posting signs protesting George Floyd's death.

BETHESDA, Md. – A 60-year-old Maryland man was arrested Friday after a video appeared to show him violently grab an object from a young adult who was posting signs protesting the death of George Floyd, park police said.

The Maryland-National Capital Park Police said in a news release that Anthony Brennan III, of Kensington, Maryland, was charged with three counts of second-degree assault. Police said the incident occurred Monday on the Capital Crescent Trail. The trail runs along MacArthur Boulevard in northwest Washington D.C. and into Montgomery County in Maryland.The 34-second video shows a cyclist walk up to a young adult. Someone yells, “She has nothing, do not touch her sir!” but the man grabs her arm for several seconds and wrestles an object from her.

Shortly after Brennan’s arrest was announced, the company tweeted a statement that it had fired an employee who had “engaged in disturbing, wrongful, and completely unacceptable behavior directed towards peaceful demonstrators.” The group of people said they were putting up flyers near Dalecarlia Tunnel in Bethesda promoting justice for Floyd. Bystander video showed a Minneapolis police officer pressing his knee on Floyd’s neck, ignoring Floyd’s “I can’t breathe” cries and staying on him even after he stopped moving.

Darla_Crane We are all just a bunch of crackers. White trash, stale saltine crackers. Ima go eat a jar of mayo. Then I’m gonna jump in a pool of jello. Why? because I might feel the need to ok. Go be black and make it matter. It’s not up to us crackers. It’s on y’all.

All lives matter. Why don't black lives matter when they kill each other every day.

Protest the fact that blacks are responsible for the most murders in the US. More than cops.

Cause blacks keep killing blacks and you don't care?

They should stop voting in politicians who TOLERATE racist cops!

racism is exit for thousands of years ,it is a human nature

because you loot and riot and are killing yourselves? All lives matter, and black people need to hear that the most.

Because we don't act like it always. We get mad scream and kill each other's dreams.

Young adult? She was a child!!!! Do better

Why this photo? Why not the photo of the criminal your headline is about? Smh

SlugLife

Very interesting photo for this headline. I see what you did there.

How embarrassing imagine being 60 a grown adult a grown man and being arrested charged with second degree assault if only people who are adult's could actually act like adult's during these time's thing's like this wouldn't happen he deserved it

Defacing people property and expecting respect, really?

If they truly matters you would stop killing each other first!

Vandalism matters.

Why don't they matter in your own communities?

You spelled vandalizing wrong.

Where's your article on the 30 year old woman from Buffalo who drove into a crowd of cops in her SUV, sending 3 to the hospital?

Act like adults and we will listen.

Why do you have this picture up? You need to blast his face. This picture has nothing to do with the actual story. Is it because he is white? if you are gonna wrote the story then post it with the proper actual perpetrator!

Call it what it was don’t make it seem a little better, she was a CHILD.

This isn't a black or white thing. It's a training issue with the police! All lives matter and the police killed more whites last year than blacks but the Democrat mainstream media must demonize whites!

A real “tough guy” on a mission. What sad times.

You just need to behave as everyone else

All lives matter including the blue ones.

Mainly, white people and pigmented surrogates.

Peaceful protests for George Floyd prevail in New Jersey, despite history of racial tensions with policeFor the past week, tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets -- in the U.S. and all over the world -- to voice their anger over the tragic death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody with a white officer's knee on his neck. In Newark, civic leaders, police and mayors I was five when the race riots were going on in my hometown of Somerville. I didn't understand racism then, and I don't understand it now. To all racists, and would be racists that are confused by the numbers of white people standing in solidarity with people of color in condemning the murder of George Floyd, the message is clear. NOT IN OUR NAME

California lawmakers promise to set rules for police use of rubber bullets amid George Floyd protestsAlarmed at reports that protesters have been seriously injured by rubber bullets fired by police officers, a group of California lawmakers said Thursday they will introduce legislation to set clear standards for the projectiles. Americans shouldn't settle for anything less than an absolute ban. If they're banned in Northern Ireland then you know how bad they actually are. People are going to get killed. The rules don't matter. These cops don't care about rules. Ivuoma how bout ban them entirely?
