Alec Baldwin confronted, escorted by police after shouting match

Alec Baldwin got into a shouting match with some pro-Palestine protester and ended up getting himself escorted away by police officers before it turned potentially physical. This was in New York City during one of those weird protests that don't really accomplish anything but people screaming at each other, which seems pretty pointless because it doesn't lead to solutions. It's not clear if Baldwin was there at the protest or he was just in the area by accident and got sucked up into the nonsense like a cat hairball in a vaccum. NBC News reported on the Alec Baldwin incident with a protester, saying:

A protester is heard asking Baldwin, "You work for Hollywood, do you condemn Israel?"

“You’ve already made up your mind … every question you’ve got, right?” Baldwin replied. “I’m in Hollywood’s pockets, you said? You ask stupid questions. Ask me a smart question! Ask a smart question!” as he pushed his body into that protester.

Then several police officers surrounded Baldwin and escorted him away from the crowd.

The protester yelled, “Go f--- yourself” and “Why did you even come here?” and Baldwin appeared to yell back, “Shut the f--- up” as he was escorted away.
