ALBAWABA - A shocking video circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter) of an American policeman spitting on a Palestinian flag after taking it down angering pro-Palestine activists and users alike.
The video in question was shared by Al Quds News Network and showcased a policeman standing with his colleagues in what seems a pro-Palestine protest with the American flag and a taken-down Palestinian flag behind him. The policeman was seen spitting on the Palestinian flag and even doubled down and spat for the second time on it.

By the time of writing this article, the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, is responsible for the killing of at least 34,568 Palestinians and injuring more than 77,765, as reported by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
Protests across the US broke out in support of Gaza and the Palestinian people with students from countless universities standing together against Israel and its heinous acts towards the Gazans and Palestine. University students who protested include Columbia University, NYC, Yale, Harvard, and many more.
Moreover, many of the students were arrested for voicing their opinions through the form of protesting.

"Expecting more professionalism from the police than mall security is just wishful thinking."
"Zionism is the worst."
"That's disgusting."
"What a pig."
