ASU security video of the incident released late Friday shows instructor David Boyles appearing to lunge at the TPUSA videographer. He is then shoved to the ground by the TPUSA personality who was peppering Boyles with questions about sexuality.Earlier Friday, Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet told 12News that the camera man plans to file a police report and press charges for assault.
"Knowing that they were filming in order to post this online and inspire even more harassment against me, I moved to block the camera. When I did so, the other one jumped me from behind, slamming me to the pavement.""My physical injuries are relatively minor and I'm doing OK," the post says."But I'm also feeling angry, violated, embarrassed, and despairing at the fact that we have come to normalize this kind of harassment and violence.
