https://www.wcpo.com/news/crime/man-charged-with-assault-after-punching-anti-trump-protester-outside-us-bank-arenaCINCINNATI A Georgetown, Kentucky man was led away from U.S. Bank Arena to chants of Lock him up! after assaulting an anti-Trump protester Thursday night.

According to Alter, who spoke with WCPO over the phone and via text, the protest against President Donald Trumps campaign visit to US Bank Arena had been peaceful until Frazier arrived. He and a group of other protesters had been standing on one side of Broadway Street, occasionally exchanging shouts and chants with supporters on their way to the rally.
Then the red pickup drove by, and Frazier began shouting at the protesters from the passenger seat.
Dallas Frazier, 29, is accused of punching an anti-Trump protester oustide of U.S. Bank Arena on Thursday, August 1, 2019, according to police. He faces an assault charge.

That would be very unusual. Cops are instructed not to get in other people's cars.

Of course, but that has nothing to do with the question I put forward about the victim gesturing.
