    If she gets arrested for exercising her first amendment rights, you might as well drop all pretense of being a democracy.

            Actually I was walking right past what you were saying because I refuse to have this conversation. The actions depicted in every video I’ve seen of the incident do not constitute a threat to the officers or to property. The only reason this is being brought to a judge at all is because of politics.

              Yes, there seemed to be a disconnect. I think what you’re saying is that the banging car windows is a pretense, and the real reason for the arrest is for exercising First Amendment rights.

              The reason given for the arrest is the banging and interference, and I thought you were saying those are protected.
