The poster is below the belt, personally insulting, and says absolutely nothing. Sad, but we do have our wackos. IMO, just a cop doing his job as he sees it (and I see it).

Sorry - it’s not for the cop to decide... Most cops are union members - and vote for dems. It’s not his place to make calls on the political content of posters...

[all the best]

You are kidding right. Sarcasm? So it’s up to the authorities to decide what political expression is acceptable and which are “below the belt”?! “Personally insulting”? Big deal. “Say absolutely nothing”? It was found to be offensive because it did say something.
So you think this is a cop’s job? WOW!!!

Not a big fan of the Constitution, I see. Nice. Not.

And grounds for ARREST, by an AGENT OF THE STATE?

Did you watch the video?

BTW the "officer" is a school dostrict employee who clearly objected to the image not the presence of the 'demonstrator". Way above his paygrade to determine Frist Amendemnt issues.

Not for you to decide what is what isn’t allowable. Even if you do object to it, it is not against the law.

Oh, please. How many nutty libs over the years have displayed protest placards far more over the top than this one with no consequences (as should be the case)? The cop was out of line, and his statement about this not being America anymore is very telling. The Left in this country is slowly but surely showing their true colors. They aren't Americans at all, it would seem.

How was the poster personally insulting? The poster is meant to depict Obama as the joker in the movies, the Joker, who wanted to destroy the country by destroying the economic system.

If you find that as personally insulting, then that's your problem. You are choosing to distort the intent of the poster by reading something into it, that isn't there.

I have the Obama as the Joker with Socialist printed on a bumper sticker. I have had people take pictures of it with their cells phone as I drive down the road, honk and give me the thumbs up.

There is nothing wrong with the photo

This is the poster in question. Why not give your opinion directly to its creator since he is a FReeper?

Personally, I don't like the poster anymore than I do the ones with Hitlers mustache that the Larouche people have been bringing to these events. But the guy with the poster was outside the event, not inside the building where it may have been inappropriate. Larouche people showed up to the town hall I went to, and they were told to keep their provocative posters outside. That is a better approach than the way this security guard handled it.

For my posters I'm taking the Reagan approach. I know the conservatives in America are against Obamacare, and out of control spending in Washington. I don't have to convince them. Its the 50% of Democrat voters who are not hard-core leftist, but just uninformed people. Good people that get all there education about whats going on in the world from 30 minutes of evening news.

My poster slogans go out to them. Such as;

I Am Not Your ATM

You Can’t Multiply Wealth by Dividing It

Obamacare needs end of life counseling!

And taking a page out of Reagan vs Carter, here is my favorite slogan:

Are You Better Off Than You Were
4 Trillion Dollars Ago?

That being said, The security guard (not a Police Officer) went way over the line by giving his political commentary saying its not American no more, and with him saying the law is what he makes it. His office deserves to get angry calls.
