Photographer Michael Ade captured the incident, in which Jodie can be seen speaking into a megaphone alongside a freeway before an LAPD officer forcefully pushes her to the ground.
“It pained me to see @JodieSweetin thrown to the ground by members of the LAPD as she was trying to lead a group of peaceful protestors away from the freeway…SMH @LAPDHQ what are y’all doing?” Michael wrote in the post’s caption.

“Jodi is the definition of a real one and fortunately she’s okay!” he added. “But for others who choose to protest today move with caution and keep your head on swivel. It’s going to be a very long summer.🙏🏾”
Through a representative, Jodie issued a statement to PEOPLE confirming that she’s okay after the incident.
