"I pulled up to the stop-light on the corner of water and wells, and I kind of happened to look to my right because there was a little bit of movement of a police officer approaching this man kind of dressed as a clown, but you couldn't really tell. It was really weird."

 Mitch Cooper says he couldn't believe what he was seeing , he thought quickly to pull out his phone and press record.

 

What's going through my head is a cop beating up a clown. How can I not capture this video and show it to all my friends?" So I had to whip out my phone and hit on video."

 

The man dressed as a clown is a local activist often spotted outside government buildings, Friday he was outside city hall. Police wouldn't go on camera but say they received several complaints the man was chasing cars with a squirt gun.
