“Full House” star Jodie Sweetin was pushed from an embankment down to the concrete ground by an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department while protesting the US Supreme Court Roe v Wade ruling in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Several hundred demonstrators gathered and marched through downtown Los Angeles as they denounced the Supreme Court’s decision to end a constitutional right to abortion.
In a video captured by photographer Michael Ade, the 40-year-old actress appeared to be thrown to the ground while leading a “group of peaceful protestors away from the freeway” as she gathered with a number of activists in the downtown area of the city.
Sweetin was seen wearing a black T-shirt and black leggings with a black backpack and a megaphone attached to her arm. At one point in the video, Sweetin seemed to be pushed from a dirt hill down to the ground.
She skidded across the ground and her hat flew back on her head. A crowd gathered to help her stand up again.
One protestor could be heard screaming, “What the f— is wrong with you guys?” Another asked, “Jodi, are you good?”
Sweetin almost immediately stood up again, fixed her hat and joined in the chants with other protestors near the 101 Freeway: “No justice, no peace.”
