Video of Chicago activist removing Trump sign prompts police explanation

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 was running at 1,200 feet per second when he collided with a bullet that was sitting still.
