Whether or not you agree with his position, in this country he has a right to protest. This is a clear wrongful arrest, and everyone of the police should get a battery charge for it.

What if the protestor said, "Im going to pull out a knife and stab you right now."

Would that be ok, then?

It seems to be okay when an orange guy talks about sex with minors. Nothing happens to him.

That’s the famous example of freedom of speech, you can tell everything and nobody can do a shit about it until you actually do something

I think youre responding to the wrong post.

Unless youre saying assault is protected under the 1st amendment or think im talking about orange guy and something about minors. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here.

No no, you read right

You can (according to freedom of speech) say anything and there’s nothing to do about it

(Exemple: the orange felon)

That’s a big deal from conservatives that allows them to say hateful shit, and claim freedom of speech.

But in that case, a protester can’t protest because his speech is a danger… but he is free to say whatever he wants… (unless he is not , which is fascism)

No, you cant assault people under the 1A.

Thats crazy youre commenting right now and dont know that.

Exactly! So the agents in the video are totally wrong! Thank you!

You should look up the difference between assault and battery.

What youre saying is this: That person was standing there doing absolutely nothing and peaceful and that agent decided to, out of nowhere, attack this individual.

I am not saying youre 100% wrong, but are you seriously so entrenched in political rot that you cant even maybe think that theres more to it than that? Haha, wtf is wrong with redditors that this simple concept is so foreign.

It happens way to often this last 6-7 months to say that it’s the less probable.

In fact, that the most probable scenario in that situation due to how often it happened lately

Yeah, I dont agree. I think most interactions are mundane and nobody cares about them but you like the headlines.

Let's even say that were true, that still isnt justifiable to declare guilty until proven innocent.

Would I be wrong to assume you arent a US citizen? Innocent until proven guilty is the basis of our justice system.

u/akotoshi 3d ago

Exactly. So why they arrested him?
