A U.S. Marshal reportedly snapped and violently destroyed a womans cellphone while she was recording a group of law enforcement officers who were standing on a public sidewalk near Los Angeles.
In a YouTube video dated April 19, someone apparently positioned across the street from the incident captured video of a woman who was recording a group of men wearing tactical gear in South Gate, California.
The woman can be seen talking to the officers and recording them while they seemed to be ignoring her.
Eventually, a man carrying an assault rifle and wearing a different style of tactical gear walks toward the woman. As she backs up, he lunges at her, grabbing her cellphone with both hands. There is a brief struggle for the phone, but the man easily overpowers the woman and slams the device to the ground.
The phone can be heard smashing on the concrete sidewalk. The officer then kicks the phone at the woman, causing the person operating the camera to gasp.

Those are blue jeans not a uniform. His torso seems covered by a camo sweatshirt or shirt. It's not possible from the vidie to see if the bulletproof vest says on it's back "US MARSHALL" which it WOULD if it was a true uniform.
This story shouldn't be accepted as reported

The armed figure with in the vest with the police paraphernalia assaults the woman, steals her cell phone and then destroys it in front of the other uniformed officers.
He is not immediately arrested by the uniformed officers for the multiple crimes he committed in front of them so he must be one of them, jeans or not.

Its a sick cult.

I don't have any reason to doubt the assailant is a non-uniformed US marshall

Why even bother with those posts if you know, just as we all do, that the guy assaulting the woman and stealing and destroying her cell phone is a law enforcement officer out of control.
