Man harasses woman for wearing a....
shirt that had the "Puerto Rican" flag on it ! He said it was UN-AMERICAN!
He must be one of the STUPID deplorables that voted for that pervert that threw paper towels at people while in Puerto Rico after the hurricanes that almost wiped out the island.
Here is what the stupid man said to her:“Are you a United States citizen?” the man says in the video to the woman in a Puerto Rican flag shirt. “Then you should not be wearing that.”
A nearby police officer appeared to ignore the woman’s pleas for help as the man harassed her over her shirt.

In the video, the man can be seen approaching the woman saying: "You should not be wearing that in the United States of America." He gets closer to her and asks "Are you a citizen? Are you a United States citizen?" And the man approached her multiple times.
She said: "Officer, I feel entirely uncomfortable, can you remove ... please officer" as the officer is seen walking away from her.

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello reacted to the video Monday on Twitter.
"Today a video surfaced of an undignified event in which a Puerto Rican woman was brutally harassed by a bigot while an officer did not interfere. I am appalled, shocked & disturbed by the officer's behavior," Rossello's tweet reads.

Puerto Rico is a US commonwealth with its own constitution, rather than a state. Puerto Rican residents have been American citizens since 1917

I am also appalled by that officer! How dare he ignore her. The man verbally attacking her is an idiot--plan and simple. But its that officer's JOB to protect her. he needs to be fired.

Glad to hear it, it's time these cops face consequences for their actions when they don't do what they're paid to do or treat all citizens with the same respect.
