Here is full footage of encounter with unmarked individual who attacked me and a protester with his baton. Cops did NOT know who he was, or even if he was a government official. As I go through more of my footage if I find him again I will post. @VOAAfrica @VOANews https://twitter.com/JasonPatinkin/status/1275247676884467712">https://twitter.com/JasonPati...
More footage of same unmarked individual (only says "police" on his back - nothing else) beating protesters. Also includes standoff, tussles, firing of projectiles, outside DC& #39;s Lafayette Square. All following failed attempt to pull down Andrew Jackson statue. @VOAAfrica @VOANews
Last footage I have of same unmarked individual (only says "police" on his back - nothing else) assisting police with an arrest.

Note there is another officer in somewhat similar outfit marked SWAT, a name tag, and another insignia.

At end of video as he walks away, you can see "police" on his back. Even if that is legit, there& #39;s no indication of which police force, no nametag, etc. As journalists we comply with police orders to move, but we don& #39;t have to take orders from someone who doesn& #39;t ID himself.
