NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Super Bowl halftime show performer was charged Thursday with two misdemeanors, about 4 1/2 months after he ran across the field at the Superdome waving a flag that included the words “Sudan and Free Gaza,” Louisiana State Police said.

Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, turned himself in to authorities to face of charges resisting a police officer and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly, police said. He surrendered in coordination with his attorney and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center.

Nantambu revealed the flag and ran on the field during rapper Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance on Feb. 9. He was detained on the field after his demonstration but not charged. The NFL said at the time he would be banned for life from league stadiums and events.

According to a statement from police, Nantambu had been hired as an extra performer and “had permission to be on the field during the performance, but did not have permission to demonstrate as he did.”

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy thanked investigators for their work.

“We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game, including the halftime show, very seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” McCarthy said in a statement.

    Most Americans want their country to change, too.

    lol, you can’t seriously believe that. Do most Americans want their country to stop murdering people in unjust wars and to stop funding Israel’s genocide? The answer is obviously no, because you libs are fine with your country doing that just as long as a Democrat is in charge. The majority of Amerikkkans were in favor of bombing Iran, just like they were in favor of invading Iraq.

      Yes, quite so. But we need to very clear about what we mean by “Americans”.

      If we mean the electorate, then yes people want it to stop. If we mean the electors, then fuck no.

      Polling is pretty clear that yes, most Americans do want the US to stop arming Israel and were very opposed to war in Iran.

      People have really been turning against Israel in the past several months, and most people (not politicians, people) didn’t want us to bomb Iran. There was definitely broad support for invading Iraq, but the pols had the advantage of weaponizing 9/11 for that purpose.

        Even the MAGAs wanted HitlerPig to keep America out of wars (America First), and they aren’t happy about it.

        Do you seriously believe this bullshit? It’s funny that you claim to hate them and call them nazis, yet you fell for their garbage and defend them. They’ll just come up with an excuse for why this war is justifiable because Evil Country is that bad.

          This person is a horrible reactionary, but this one point is at least mostly correct. A lot of dumb hogs thought Trump was serious about stopping wars and avoiding new ones, so of course they oppose the bombing even if they think all Persians are evil
