Is your position that no one lit the object on fire? Maybe it was spontaneous combustion?
It appears to me a simple case of the cops grabbing the wrong hoodlum. Or more probably the right one - he just didn't happen to be the perp this time -
What do you think he was doing travelling from AZ to NYC to "protest" a convention? Protest a convention? Why would someone even want to protest a convention?
These kids went there to be disruptive. Plain and simple. He went to sow chaos and got some in return.
The only sad thing here is they got the wrong guy -
Please note Mr Amerika - he was not beaten and was cleared.

And many posters here seem to think that's a-ok.

Back when this forum had real conservatives, not mindless cheerleaders for the GOP, folks drove hundreds of miles to protest Klinton.
Do they deserve to be falsely imprisoned also?

I would argue that the conventions themselves are far more disruptive than a few protestors.

Good. The state should pay his legal fees for a false arrest.
I'm pretty cynical about the police, but not in regards to protest arrests. I've had friends who loved to go to protests. They admitted that leftie protests are one giant party.... LOTS of drugs and drinking. What is a miracle is that so few were arrested.
