Live news cameras captured the moment a protester sprinted across the street and leaped through the air to grab a Confederate flag from a demonstrator in Charleston, South Carolina.
Muhiyidin Moye, the Black Lives Matter activist who lunged for the banner on Wednesday, was immediately arrested by police on suspicion of disorderly conduct.
The flag-bearer belonged to a pro-racial segregation group that was protesting near a college campus against a speech by another activist who previously tore down a Confederate flag from the South Carolina statehouse.

The video is worth watching, it's quite a spectacular leap.

I don't think so.
