It was around 7:50 that Jeff Roorda, who’d been spotted in the crowd along with several other police officers wearing suits and “I AM DARREN WILSON” bracelets, decided he’d had enough of those in the audience heckling a police officer who had taken the microphone. He stood up and yelled at the Committee Chairperson, to take control of the meeting by saying, “C’mon, Mr. Chairman, how about some order here, huh?” Kennedy waited for the crowd response to die down and then responded by saying, “Excuse me, first of all, you do not tell me my function.” Roorda pushed his way towards the front of the room and pushed a young black woman, Cachet Currie (@scstge), out of the way and then scratched her across the forehead.

Arrest Jeff Roorda for assault.
