I guarantee grandma has never been detained for posting a lost cat or garage sale sign. And this is what makes this highly suspect and likely a violation of free speech.

Again, even if the signs are posted illegally on public property IS NOT a violation of free speech if it violated city ordinances or the law. The 1st amendment does not allow you to yell fire in a crowded theater or to vandalized and spray paint a car or building as a political statement.
No offense, but your guarantees are highly suspect since you apparently know very, very little of TX law (or the 1st amendment for that matter).
Also, if his rights were violated then where are the bystanders that witnessed the outrage. After all, the Houston area is very populated so you can’t tell me nobody saw the arrest. I just find it very suspect that nobody has come forward to defend the protester. The articles ONLY gives the perspective of the protester. All I am saying is wait for the dash-cam/microphone recording because they do have it and wait for ALL of the facts.
Stop and think a minute and stop “guaranting” things that you can’t possibly and don’t know all of the facts about. The truth will come out without people jumping to conclusions.
By the way, the cops are not always the bad guys, in TX at least. Most of our cops are stringent conservatives, which also makes this protester’s story a little suspect.

Also, how do you know that this activist isn’t a liberal plant that was acting disorderly by trespassing on private/public property and vandalizing the property all in the name of those “conservative radicals”. It has happened before! That is why you need the facts.
