Seems like instead they wanted to talk. But hey, you're free to project into the minds of people you don't know whatever it is you want regardless of what the video shows or doesn't show. From the title I was expecting what happened when Rand was mowing his lawn. (You know. An actual violent assault.) I'm thankful that's not at all what happened.
Leftists are cowards at heart, they often take time to work themselves up to violence, especially when there is a cop and cameras present.
Had more police not come and had Rand stuck around they would have done a lot more than just verbally assault him.
