Police said they arrested a suspect after a swastika flag was raised at tribal grounds in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, on https://www.facebook.com/SCTPD/photos/a.1503826782989464/4835420643163378/ December 14. This footage, streamed live by Christina Keshivk on Facebook on Tuesday, shows the flag raised to the top of a flagpole outside the Saginaw Chippewa Police Department building. "A suspect pulled up to the flagpole, in front of the Public Safety buildings on a pedal bike, raising a racist and demeaning flag while going on to destroy the mechanism on the pole to ensure the flag could not easily be taken down. This was not only viewed as a message of hate but also a crime of destruction of property," Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department https://www.facebook.com/SCTPD/photos/a.1503826782989464/4835420643163378/ said. "Thank you for your assistance and we remain committed to keeping our community safe and free from bigotry and racial hatred." (Footage by Christina Keshivk/Storyful via Getty Images)
