Election 2008: Police Officer Throws 78-Year-Old Man To Ground At Obama Event
A big brave cop threw a 78-year-old man to the ground during a Barack Obama event in Greensboro, NC last Wednesday.
“Pop” is his nickname and he carries a sign that has a simple message:
“God Bless America! We Support Our Troops! They Give Their Today That We Might Have Our Tomorrow.”

I’m pleased to see that Michelle Malkin is using her influence to free Pop. Thanks.

I know you aren’t rich Pop, so maybe Greensboro will get a conscience and pay your legal bill.
Best regards Pop.
I believe the officer in question is Lester Dever Prescod. I don’t know what his ethnicity is.
Was the policeman black?
