Veteran Confronts Ferguson Protesters Stomping on Flag

A short video posted by a reporter in Ferguson last night has gotten a lot of attention today for capturing a pretty heated confrontation.

A U.S. veteran was in Ferguson and confronted protesters who were stomping on the American flag. He says, “I fought for this flag. What’re you doing to my fucking flag?!”

One of the protesters keeps stomping on it and says, “We’re doing this to your fucking flag, nigger.” He also tells the man “it’s about what your flag represents that’s doing to us.”
