Phoenix police said they arrested the man who was hit by a gas round during the Trump protest after kicking a gas can toward officers on Tuesday night.

Police said he's still being interviewed and hasn't been booked on any charges yet.

When 3TV/CBS 5 talked to him on Wednesday, he asked us not to use his name. Phoenix police haven't identified him.

The man was caught on video, that has since gone viral, kicking a can of tear gas back at police officers. They returned the favor with a nonlethal round that hit him in the pelvic area and he went straight to the ground.

A man in a Colin Kaepernick jersey helped him out of the line of fire.

He spent Tuesday night in the emergency room for inhaling pepper spray and second-degree burns from picking up a hot can of tear gas.

The incident happened after police said protesters threw rocks, bottles and gas at them so they used tear gas and pepper balls to disperse the crowd.

We talked to an attorney on Wednesday night who said the protester would likely not face any legal trouble for kicking the tear gas back at police since it would be tough to prove he tried to hurt an officer.

The protester said he didn't intend to hurt anyone.

I wonder if Obamacare covers “riot induced minor police enforcement induced pepper spray and pepper ball injuries’ or is that going to come out of the $10k Obamacare deductible??? The cost may break even Soros and the Antifa....

Thanks for the kudos! Writing the poem (in # 74) was fun!

For a real blast-from-the-past you can type "YouTube Jerry Lee Lewis Great Balls Fire" into your search engine. It's the rockabilly hit song as he sang it in 1957....60 years ago.

He's still alive, BTW, and performing at age 81.

This is also the justification why airline pilots generally don’t have any more than a mustache, because any sort of facial hair would not seal the ‘positive pressure’ O2 mask with a tank of oxygen tied to it.

Those O2 generators for the main cabin are not to even keep you conscious at 30k feet. You need positive pressure 100 percent Oxygen for that. They are to just keep you alive until the pilots can get the aircraft to 10k feet.

Pepperballs is not a kid, not Hispanic—the Rats and Fake News Media are deeply saddened. They can’t play the race card with this guy.

The perp is sort of hippie-looking white guy, probably about 30 years old. He’s been all over the local news, “I didn’t mean to hurt the police!!”

He’s been charged with three FELONIES ROTFLOL!!!

I had to do some asbestos remediation at my house a few weeks ago. I shaved my beard to get a good seal with my respirator.

If he works for GoDaddy, one wonders if he has access to personal info on others and how he might misuse that given his predilection for crime.

Thanks, Mac, I'm happy you enjoyed my poetry!

I have posted a number of my verses in support of Trump since he declared way back when....utilizing political humor, satire, irony, puns, take-offs...the usual techniques and tools of the writers of rhyme and doggerel.

My good friend, freeper "Seenenuf", told me a while back that I should send copies of them to the President himself. Sounds like a good idea, and fun for me...so I just may get about 6 or 8 of them together and send them off.

Maybe, just maybe, they may reach his eyes. I'll be including a salute to Free Republic.com!

I'll let y'all know if I get any response!

Leni
