Activist tried to provoke his own arrest

A long-suffering British cop confronted a Jewish activist who tried to cross the route of a protest for Palestine, claiming it was to get to the other side. The cop repeatedly offered to escort him to the other side, but the activist did not find that satisfactory; instead he tried to provoke his own arrest.

The cop did not take the bait. Despite that, the activist is going to all lengths to present the cops as having acted antisemitically. I don't think that was the case.

I admire that cop who refused to be a thug. All cops confronting nonviolent protesters ought to maintain that level of self-control.
