A man named Scott Greene, who matches the description of the suspect, recorded himself being kicked out of a football game in Urbandale, Iowa, on October 14, 2016.
The Urbandale School District confirmed to the Des Moines Register that a man named Scott Greene was removed from the football stadium that day. The stadium is at the same intersection where the Urbandale police officer was killed Wednesday morning, the newspaper reports.
Greene also posted a 10-second video featuring only a still photo showing him in the stands of the high school holding American and Confederate flags. You can see that photo above.
In the comments of one of the videos, Greene wrote, “I was offended by the blacks sitting through our anthem. Thousands more whites fought and died for their freedom. However this is not about the Armed forces, they are cop haters.”
He titled the second video, which you can watch below, “Police Abuse, Civil Rights Violation at Urbandale High School.”
“This is an assault on a person exercising his constitution rights on free speech!” he wrote in the description.
The 10-minute video shows Greene after he was removed from the stadium, interacting with Des Moines and Urbandale police officers who are trying to get him to leave the area.
It begins with officers telling Greene to leave for “committing a disturbance in the stands.” He asks them repeatedly, “Have I committed a crime?”
He also accuses an officer of “assaulting” him by “grabbing” him and “shoving” him around.
Greene also says he was assaulted in the stands and had a flag stolen from him.
“I’m a citizen of the United States of America and I would like my property back that was stolen from me,” he says. “I want to report the theft of property from myself. I was actually assaulted. I would like to report an assault.”
The officer then directs him to a public sidewalk off of the high school property.
“Someone behind me hit me and they stole, it was almost like a mugging, because I had my property and I was holding it and they stole it from me,” Greene tells an officer.
He said he was standing there “holding a flag,” during the National Anthem, when he was attacked by “African-American people” behind him, who took his flag. He tells the police he wants to press charges.

Scott Greene can be seen holding a Confederate flag in a video posted to Youtube by him.
An officer tells Greene the flag he was holding, a Confederate flag, is in violation of school code.
“You came just to fly the flag and possibly cause a disruption tonight,” an officer says. “You have to understand in the current social climate we’re in, when you fly a Confederate flag standing in front of several African-American people, that’s going to cause a disturbance, whether you intended to or not.”
Greene argues that it is his Constitutional right to do so and says he was “peacefully protesting.”
2. Greene Called a Man at His Apartment Complex the ‘N-Word’ & Threatened to Kill Him in 2014, Court Records Show
Greene has been arrested numerous times, online court records show.
According to the Des Moines Register, he was convicted of harassment in 2014 after police said he approached a man in the parking lot of his apartment complex, shined a flash light in his eyes and called him the “N-word.” Greene then told the man, “I will kill you, (expletive) kill you,” according to records.
He was sentenced to one year of probation.
Greene was convicted of interference with official acts in 2014 after resisting officers’ attempts to pat him down for weapons at the same apartment complex, the Des Moines Register reports. According to the police report, the officers wanted to search Greene after noticing a pouch similar to a holster on his belt.
Officer Chris Greenfield wrote that Greene, was “noncompliant, hostile, combative and made furtive movements toward his pockets,” according to the Register.
He was also arrested in 2001 and charged with domestic assault, assault causing bodily injury and fourth-degree criminal mischief. He was also charged in 2010 with driving under the influence. The charges in those cases were all later dismissed, according to court records. Other details about the cases were not immediately available.
Greene filed for bankruptcy in 2007, according to federal court records. He lists a daughter and two sons as dependents in the filing. He also says he was working at an office furniture store and previously worked for a boating company.
3. He Is Believed to Be Driving a Ford Pickup Truck, Police Say
Scott Greene, 46, is believed to be driving a blue 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck with a silver topper (truck bed cover) and a ladder rack, police say.
The truck has the license plate 780 YFR, police say.
He is about 5 foot 11 inches tall, weighs 180 pounds and has brown hair and green eyes, according to police.
4. The Officers Were Ambushed & Killed in Their Patrol Cars About 2 Miles Apart
The first officer was found dead about 1:06 a.m. when police responded to a report of shots fired in the area of 70th Street and Aurora Avenue in Urbandale, Des Moines Police Sergeant Paul Parizek said in a press release.
Responding officers “found an Urbandale Police Department police officer who had been shot.”
The Urbandale officer was “still seated in his vehicle,” Parizek said at a press conference, “and he’d been shot and killed.”
Parizek said Des Moines officers were called to assist at that scene.

Google Maps shows the approximate areas where the two “ambush attacks” occurred in the Des Moines, Iowa, metro area.
The second officer was found fatally shot about 1:25 a.m. in the intersection of Merle Hay Road and Sheridan Drive, Des Moines Police said in a statement.
The slain officer was found by another Des Moines officer who was in the area assisting in the search for a suspect in the Urbandale shooting, Des Moines Sergeant Paul Parizek said at a press conference.
The officer was taken to a local hospital, where he later died, Parizek said.
The scene of the second shooting is about two miles away from where the Urbandale officer was killed.
5. The Officers Are Not Being Named Pending the Notification of Their Families
No information about the two officers killed in the attacks has been released so far. Authorities say they are waiting to do so until all family is notified.
The two officers are the third and fourth to be killed in Des Moines in the line of duty this year, according to the Des Moines Register.
Officers Susan Farrell and Carlos Puente-Morales were killed when their cruiser was struck head on- in a wrong-way drunken driver, the newspaper reports.
“I don’t even know where to begin on how bad this year is,” Sergeant Paul Parizek said at a press conference. But, “This is what we do. We come in day in and day out, we go out there and provide the same level of service regardless of what’s going on in our personal and professional lives.”
The Des Moines officer is the first to be shot in the line of duty since two officers were killed in 1977, Parizek said. The Urbandale officer is the first to be fatally shot in the line of duty in the history of the department.
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad’s office said in a press release that he had been briefed on the shooting.
“An attack on public safety officers is an attack on the public safety of all Iowans. We call on Iowans to support our law enforcement officials in bringing this suspect to justice,” the governor’s office said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the police officers who were tragically killed in the line of duty as well as the officers who continue to put themselves in harm’s way.”
The shootings also come in a year when five police officers were killed in Dallas and three officers killed in Baton Rouge in ambush attacks.
