Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell, the first and to date only MLB player to kneel during the national anthem, was combative and foul-mouthed during his arrest for aggravated assault last October, video shows.

TMZ Sports obtained video of Maxwell’s arrest after he allegedly brandished a gun at a Postmates driver. When police arrived, they found Maxwell shirtless and smelling of alcohol, and he began berating police, telling them “half of America is afraid of y’all” and “that’s the reason why I took a knee.” He also becomes emotional as he describes how he and his family received death threats for kneeling during the anthem.

The video contains strong language.

Brave number 20, who is he? “I’ll show my support bro with my hand on your shoulder”. What a weak ass loser. Million dollar asshat. People, I am not spending a dime if I am aware it goes to any of these organizations. My son is a Marine. He he fighting for all of us and he deserves all of us stepping up. We can no longer afford to be passive, bitching, complaining. Realize that it is time to start waking up.

Hey, Bruce, “catch this” - 6 months in the slammer and all the buttbuddies you want. Then you’ll know the real meaning of “swinging the stick”.

Good post, and please thank your son for his service in the Marines for me.

I’ll be more than happy to not watch MLB. Give ‘em the NFL treatment.

Thank you. He is a warrior and damned proud of it. When I drive on any base with him he “rah”’s every service member, regardless of rank. I asked him why and he said they know what it means. He can pick out pogs by the way they blouse their boots. His group is different and civilians might not see it but active military see it from a mile away. Most people have no idea what a Marine has to do and pay for. I just bought my son a new pair of boots as his constant walking and living in the Carolina swamps have rotted his last pair. These warriors pay for this stuff. He goes through a pair every 5 months. Why the public does not know how badly the Marines are paid and outfitted is a crime. If there were a way for me to give $100 per paycheck to go directly to the Marines, I would do it. These guys deserve 1000% more than what they get.

Absolutely. We have "rappers" and "celebrities" (who are nothing more than professional whores) earning millions, while our service men and women earn very little. And still, Congress wants to hike TRICARE fees, co-pays, and pharmacy fees. We pay our billions for Illegal Invaders, but our military suffers.

I just paid over $100 to a Marine for hearing protection. People, this is fricking real. Your greatest warriors, your defenders are being shit on daily. Give a Marine a few dollars per month. Maybe Freep can do a 50/50 split for the Marines
