A representative for Sweetin confirmed that the actress and activist was the person featured in the footage, as per Variety. "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. 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," Sweetin said in a statement following the incident.

Meanwhile, Sweetin also posted a response to the video on Sunday afternoon, with the caption reading, "The LAPD just manhandled actress/activist Jodie Sweetin at a pro-choice protest." "Thank you for posting. Love everyone out there in the streets fighting for what's right... #WeKeepUsSafe," Sweetin wrote on Instagram.
