NEWS OF THE WEEK: Jodie Sweetin shoved to ground by police officer during pro-choice rally
Video footage posted on Instagram shows an LAPD officer grabbing and pushing the Full House actress before she falls forward onto the ground and her fellow protestors then rush to help her back up. The incident appears to have taken place along a freeway exit the protestors had blocked for their demonstration. They were campaigning against the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, effectively ending federal protections for abortion rights. Sweetin's representative confirmed to Variety that the actress is the person in the footage.
