LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Former sitcom star Jodie Sweetin was shoved to the ground by Los Angeles police on Saturday during a protest on the 101 Freeway in support of abortion rights.

The former "Full House" actress apparently got too close to officers, who had formed a skirmish line in front of a group of demonstrators. That's when Sweetin was pushed to the ground.

Videos from AIR7 HD and a bystander on the freeway show Sweetin tumbling to the ground after being shoved. In the footage, she stands up almost immediately. Sweetin apparently was not seriously injured.

"I'm extremely proud of the hundreds of people who showed up yesterday to exercise their First Amendment rights and take immediate action to peacefully protest the giant injustices that have been delivered from our Supreme Court," Sweetin said in a statement provided to ABC News. "Our activism will continue until our voices are heard and action is taken. This will not deter us, we will continue fighting for our rights. We are not free until ALL of us are free."
 
You have to be careful when dealing with some of the stars (even if they are former stars). These people can bring a lot of attention to an issue regardless of how you feel about that issue or where you stand with that issue). Some of them can bring a lot of negative or positive attention to your organization so you have to be careful with how you act......especially now that everyone and their monkey's uncle has a cell phone not (which means everyone is basically walking around with a camera in their pocket now).
 
When a cop shoves a regular, non - celebrity person, no one bats an eye, but when it's a celebrity, it's all over the news.

Exactly. All the news people will air the crap out of it if it's a celebrity.
 
We were waiting for you to do it. :whistles:
