That’s because the “outrage” is being overwhelmed by the volume of abuses.

A felony? for political speech? Won’t last very long in any court if argued on 1st amendment grounds[or it shouldn’t last anyway...] but who has the $$’s required to fight the system that is stacked against you?

The a$$folk in power know this and push against their own citizenry. And it doesn’t appear that party affiliation matters much.
I don't think it was for political speech. I think it was for resisting the officers who tried to remove him once he had gone over his allotted time.
