Video of Chicago activist removing Trump sign prompts police explanation

Brian L. Cox and Alexandra Kukulka Contact Reporter Chicago Tribune

A video of a Chicago activist removing a Trump sign has generated thousands of views and prompted police in one suburb to issue a statement explaining why they did not charge him with sign theft.

Jedidiah Brown posted a video on Facebook on Oct. 18 showing him removing the large sign from an unspecified location and placing it in the back of his car.

"I think this it is my duty as a citizen of the United States of America," Brown says to the camera as he pulls his car over and walks toward the Trump-Pence sign. "I'm clearly in a predominantly white area because that would never roll on the South Side of Chicago."

Earlier in the video, Brown says, "I'm sure I'm going to jail" and asks for viewers to send bail money. As the video ends, Brown says people are approaching and he hastily leaves.

In fact, Brown did get pulled over a short time later in suburban Northfield and was charged with driving with a suspended license and running a red light along Frontage Road, Northfield police said.

For all we know, he stuck the sign in his own yard and then made a recording of him removing it.

Although this story says he was arrested for stealing the Trump sign, (which the suburban police failed to do), - here is more background on this Hillary thug:

Trained Liberal Activist, Pastor and Hillary Supporter Arrested for Stealing Trump Signs in Chicago

Jim Hoft Oct 19th, 2016 11:59 pm 140 Comments

On Friday March 11, 2016 hundreds, possibly thousands of anti-Trump fascists shut down his Chicago rally.
The event was called over security concerns.

The far left goons were planning on storming the stage.
One man did.

Law enforcement has become the latest weapon to be used against enemies of the incumbency.

The arbitrary suspension of law for favored groups and enforcement against others is tyranny.

Did the owner of the sign file a complaint?

For all we know, he put the sign up and took it down for his little youtube video so he can generate ad clicks and $$$

That's what pisses me off, too, the left bending the law to their advantage.

Ask the San Jose PD why they did nothing to protect Trump supporters. Ask this Northfield PD why they did nothing to protect private property. There seems to be a pattern here against the only candidate who supports cops.

There oughta be a cop to arrest the bad actors, but alas, the FBI has been weaponized against us, too.

He’s likely to be a statistic in a few weeks anyway.. collateral damage in the plantation wars being fought in the inner cities.

as for the police, these bobos proved they are not infallible.. or reliable to protect citizens rights.
