Man In Trouble With Cops For Flying American Flag Upside Down (VIDEO)

A Pennsylvania man is in trouble for flying his American flag upside down and spray painting it. Joshua Brubaker was charged with desecration and insults to Old Glory.

Allegheny Township police Assistant Chief L.J. Berg said, “I was offended by it when I first saw it. I had an individual stop here at the station, a female, who was in the military and she was very offended by it.”

Brubaker claims Native American ancestry, stating that he is passionate about the American Indian Movement and that’s why he painted the flag with the letters AIM.

“I found that Wounded Knee is up for sale. Not only privately, but commercially. It’s just not right, and simply because I express myself in a way that somebody else doesn’t like or agree with doesn’t mean I should be persecuted for having beliefs,” Brubaker said.

“If I don’t have a right to fly that flag upside down, which means a sign of distress, which this country is in so much distress right now, then what’s the point of having it?” he added.
