Oh my God Lee Carter in VA is amazing

This is in Manassas. The man in the grey t-shirt is Delegate Lee Carter who represents the 50th district. Tonight he went out to where a peaceful protest was taking place in Manassas and confronted the approximately 100 police that were there in full tactical gear. Within less than a minute of his arrival he was flash banged. When he identified himself as a delegate the police pushed the line back, Lee held that line wanting to know who was in charge because he was there to represent his constituents and had questions. The police did not respond and pushed the line until they knocked Lee to the ground. After getting back up and asking the questions again and again one officer responded and Lee told him to go find out who flash banged him and he then took a knee. No one ever answered his questions but when he stood up and asked them yet again, he was shoved and ultimately teargassed. The live video wouldn’t post when I tried to share it, FB is apparently misbehaving tonight so I will try again tomorrow. Couldn’t be prouder of Delegate Carter for representing not only his Manassas constituents but all of humanity by what he did tonight!
