The police did no such thing. He was still expressing his opinion, as the shirt clearly did, when he arrested.
It wasn’t a matter of a right to be there, it was a matter of safety, his, and protecting property.
If you’ve ever had your stores windows broken out because some idiots thought right in front of those windows would be a great place to settle their differences, you’d understand.
“It wasn’t a matter of a right to be there, it was a matter of safety, his, and protecting property.”
I’m so glad that my constitutional rights of expression are directly in line behind someone else’s idea of “my safety”.
And if some idiots broke my property, I’d expect them to be in jail. For that, not for standing in the street with a shirt on.
So how high up on priority is constitutional rights in your book? 5th? 19th?
