In the video, the woman, who has not been identified, seems to be engaged in a verbal confrontation with LaRosa when suddenly she lashes out striking the jujitsu master about the face.

As LawEnforcementToday put it, LaRosa “dropped her in about two seconds.”

The video show LaRosa holding the woman in the prone position while she appears to gasp for air. Someone off camera can be heard saying, “If you can talk, you can breathe.” Another man can be heard threatening the “educator” with jail.

Via LawEnforcementToday:

LaRosa was livestreaming the flag wave on an overpass above Interstate 84. That’s when the fight broke out between the woman and a female from LaRosa’s group.

Members of the group were wearing “Make America Great Again” hats.

Below, you’ll find a video showing LaRosa on top of the woman, who pleaded with LaRosa to get off her. She also called herself a “professor.”

The woman cried that she couldn’t breathe (hint: if you can talk, you can breathe), all while others with LaRose told the woman on the ground “you assaulted someone,” and “you’re going to jail”.
