Iowa Police Arrest Suspect in ‘Ambush’ Killings of 2 Officers
Two police officers were shot and killed early Wednesday while sitting in their patrol cars in the Des Moines area, and the authorities later arrested a 46-year-old Iowa man in connection with the “ambush-style attacks.”
.. Scott Greene is shown being escorted from an Urbandale High School football game two days earlier. In the video, the man is angry because, he says, someone at the game took away the Confederate flag he was holding.
.. Throughout the 10-minute video, the officers tell the man he is being accused of causing a disturbance inside the stadium. He continues to demand the return of his flag and asks them to file charges against the person who took the flag.
“I was peacefully protesting,” he said, repeatedly asking whether he had committed a crime.
Outside the stadium, the man tells the officers that he wants to file assault charges against the “African-American people that were behind me” who he said took the flag.
