The photographer, Marlon Crutchfield, is also a former U.S. Capitol Police officer, Army veteran and licensed real estate agent. When Arlington officers arrived, Crutchfield agreed to step outside and speak with them. But when one of the officers asked for Crutchfield’s identification, he grew irate and began recording the episode. Two more police vehicles arrived on the scene as the two officers questioning Crutchfield walked away, the video shows. The two Arlington officers asked him why he was there, then asked for his identification.
