Bruce Maxwell, the Oakland A’s catcher who was the only Major League
Baseball player to take a knee during the national anthem to protest
police brutality, was arrested Saturday night after a woman who was
delivering food to his home accused him of pointing a gun at her.

Scottsdale, Ariz., police told the Associated Press that Maxwell was
booked on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and
disorderly conduct. He was in custody pending his initial court
appearance. The alleged incident occurred at around 6 p.m. and Scottsdale
police spokesman Sgt. Tyler Johnson told AZCentral.com that it was unclear
what had led up to the incident.

Maxwell, 26, took a knee during the national anthem last month, becoming
the first MLB player to kneel during the anthem and following in the
footsteps of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and
many other NFL players in choosing that method or linking arms or raising
a fist to raise awareness of police brutality and social injustice.
Maxwell, an African American whose family has military roots, was
protesting comments by President Trump, according to his agent,
specifically Trump’s call on NFL owners to fire or suspend players for
kneeling during the anthem.

“My decision had been coming for a long time,” Maxwell said at the time,
citing his own experiences with racism while growing up in Huntsville,
Ala. “The only way we can come together is by informing. … To single out
NFL players for doing this isn’t something we should be doing — I felt it
should be a little more broad.”

Last week, Maxwell said his action caused him to be refused service by a
restaurant waiter who identified himself as a Trump supporter. The waiter,
Matt Henry, later told Fox News that Maxwell made up the story and said
that he couldn’t serve a friend in the party who had an invalid ID.
Huntsville city councilman Devyn Keith also was with Maxwell and said that
the waiter said, ” ‘You are that guy. You are the guy who took a knee,’ ”
Keith said. “And then everything changed.”

“He goes, ‘I voted for Trump,’ ” Maxwell told TMZ Sports, ” ‘And I stand
for everything he stands for.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, really?’ And our
councilman went and got their manager and had some words with him and took
him off of our table and put us another person on our table. That’s where
I’m from.”

Maxwell told The Washington Post in a text message, “I’m really over that
happening and it’s BS.”

Maxwell made his major-league debut with the A’s in July 2016. In 76 games
this season, he hit .237 with three home runs and 22 RBI.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
