The felony count is weak because police were present and the video shows the crowd under control.
The misdemeanors don’t mean much ($100 fine).
But I think they’ll go for jury nullification just the same.
Police being present is irrelevant.
There is no exception in the law if the police are present. Did the police tell them it’s okay to tear it down. Answer: No
Good luck with that lame defense.
No the video shows a mob of people tearing down government property. Sorry that’s a felony.
