The incident, which occurred on Saturday, was captured on video and circulated on social media.
Footage appears to show police shoving a woman, dressed in black with a megaphone, to the pavement. Sweetin’s publicist confirmed the actor is the person in the video.“I’m extremely proud of the hundreds of people who showed up yesterday to exercise their First Amendment rights and take immediate action to peacefully protest the giant injustices that have been delivered from our Supreme Court,” Sweetin said.“Our activism will continue until our voices are heard and action is taken.
A Los Angeles Police Department representative said the agency is aware of the footage, but declined to comment on Sunday.“I was honestly shocked that the officers shoved her in the forceful manner in which they did because she was actually trying to direct people away from the freeway at that point,” Ade said. “I know her personally. She’s a friend and we’ve been in the streets protesting together.
