Authorities announced Saturday that they have charged a Philadelphia teacher with making terroristic threats and harassing a cop during a protest.

Police arrested John Edward Sheerin Friday night for his behavior during an August protest of a statue resembling Frank Rizzo, Philadelphia’s former police commissioner and Democratic mayor, according to Philly.com. Sheerin called a cop a “gutless b****,” said the cop is “f***ing done,” said he would “take his f***ing head off” and insisted he would tell the cop his address so that the cop can “knock on [his] door” starting at the 1:58 mark in footage displayed below and reported by The College Fix.

Sheerin teaches at Philadelphia’s Julia de Burgos School and spokesman Kevin Geary told Philly.com that the school was investigating Sheerin before his arrest and removed him from the school until completion of the investigation.

His supporters showed up outside the police facility where cops held him after arrest.

“I really can’t believe you guys stayed out there all night,” said Sheerin in a Facebook post, according to Philly.com. “It must have been so uncomfortable. But I learned something about discomfort from my first night in a cell. There’s nothing SOFT in a cell!”

Sheerin’s next hearing will be on Sept. 26, he was released on a $5,000 bail, reported NBC Philadelphia.

“Our comrade is home safe and sound,” said Asa Khalif, a Black Lives Matter Pennsylvania leader, on Facebook. “This man is a true soldier in the fight for justice. Proud to have him as a friend and ally.”

Activists in favor of taking down the Rizzo statue say that the former police commissioner and mayor oppressed blacks and catered to white racial fears. Those in favor of keeping the statue believe Rizzo helped citizens who had less power and influence.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Sheerin and the Philadelphia police for further comment but received none in time for press.
