"The security guard was like, 'Stop,'" Wilford remembers. "The white guy was still yelling and walking towards the security guard. I was like, 'Why are you pointing your mace at me? He’s the one being aggressive.' And then he pepper-sprayed me."

But according to Wilford and two witnesses I spoke to (Garland and a community college student demonstrator named Isra Ayesh), that's not what happened. They say the mall cop should have dealt with the shirtless man, who you can see in Garland's other photos, because he had been getting up in the faces and harassing several dozen pro-Palestine demonstrators. The man called at least one person "towelhead," the witnesses said, and was cursing. Garland said he thought he overheard the man say "sand ******." Seattle police officer Ronald Hylton says in his report that he'd been flagged down by a protest organizer because a white male "with no shirt on was causing a disturbance and 'picking a fight' with the protesters.
