A video has surfaced online showing a man being arrested by police after he refused to show a Covid vaccine passport to buy food.

The man, who was taking part in an anti-vaccine mandate protest, was arrested as he tried to buy food at a branch of Panera Bread located in Brooklyn, New York.
According to reports, the man shown in the video is an army veteran, and expressed concern that as police were arresting him, they allowed the US flag that he held to touch the ground.
The veteran can be heard shouting: “
“The flag does not touch the ground!
“The Constitution of the United States is being violated – I cannot eat!” he adds.
During the video, the man repeatedly told police that he is non-violent and has no weapons, all of which took place as he was escorted out of the establishment.
Additionally, other customers who already paid for food were ordered to exit the store despite many of them claiming not to be involved with the protest.
The person who uploaded the video on Twitter revealed that the same man had reportedly been arrested twice in the previous week for failing to show a valid vaccine passport when trying to order food.
New York has some of the toughest covid-19 restrictions, including a vaccine mandate that requires all employees and citizens to be vaccinated or face being shunned out of society. A covid vaccine passport was introduced to provide proof of vaccination, which is required for entry to venues such as cafes, bars, restaurants, gyms, cinemas, theatres, and other public spaces.
Additionally, despite the vaccine mandate, face masks are also mandatory and must be worn in all indoor public places.
PING
There must be something in jail that he likes.
Maybe something he has to pay for outside of jail.
Something he gets for free in stir.
Hmm.
If only he followed Trump and got vaccination and booster, he’d be allowed to eat in NYC.
Silly protester
Food is for the obedient
“allowed to eat in NYC”
I wouldn’t go there to throw up
One version of this video shows a black female police officer throw the flag on the ground and purposefully walk on it. How many cops should it take to arrest someone for not having a vax permit? This whole charade is ridiculous.
There must be something in jail that he likes.
Sounds like you have some first-hand knowledge in this area. What is it, thimblehumper?
“The person who uploaded the video on Twitter revealed that the same man had reportedly been arrested twice in the previous week for failing to show a valid vaccine passport when trying to order food.”
The total tyranny of government is entering its final stages. How long before “We just need to inject a silicone passport chip into your wrist so you can buy, sell, trade” and by the way, welcome 666.
I’m not the one going to jail three times a week.
Maybe ask protester boy.
Y’all probably have common interests.
He should have demanded a loaf of bread inscribed with a message for a gay wedding.
Nah, she's dead and buried.
That’s surprising because around here (in deep South), the black folks I know refuse the vaccine. They would rather wear masks everywhere they go including at sporting events. I see it all the time. They refuse to be injected. I know A LOT of black people. They do not like Biden. They like President Trump.
Sure - why support that dusty old Constitution that was designed to limit government.
Supporting the constitution involves going to jail three times a week?
Unless he's being subsidized by someone, that will cost you some bucks.
And your job.
You want to be unemployed and homeless over who eats in a restaurant?
Once you're unemployed and homeless, how will you be supporting the constitution then?
You'll be more concerned with finding food in a dumpster.
I'll pick my battles, thanks.
Dining out will not be one of them.
Cheers.
So glad I left that commie hell hole.
HIPPA - why should I show my health record to just anyone who asks?
“They refuse to be injected. I know A LOT of black people. They do not like Biden. They like President Trump.”
I know quite a few myself, and black men in particular are starting to despise not only Biden but Fauci and the rest of these clowns. Many won’t be voting for him in the next election. Black women are a different story and tend to be more loyal to Dems no matter what, but a few are starting to come around. Many Puerto Ricans have also moved over to Trump. Dems are alienating much of their base and losing support, which will make it much more difficult for the Dems to steal another election without being even more obvious about it than they were last time.
I wouldn’t go there to throw up
That’s what they have all of their streets lined with homeless for.
Well, that and other gross deposits.
“Just following orders.”
