At what point do we say this isn’t “free speech” anymore?

If one of us verbally assaulted a local LEO like this and harassed them they would cuff, taze, and jail us (and deserve it)

This is not free speech.

That’s disorderly conduct. Local police are responsible for enforcement. Good luck with that.

The way his hand was shaking you could tell he was scared. All that big talk was fake tough guy crap.

Even if you don’t agree with what the cops are doing, it’s pretty stupid to get in their face while they’re conducting official business.

That’s probably one of the most debated and complicated Constitutional issues in the history of our great country. I personally certainly can understand why. My personal policy is if I don’t like what someone is saying, I bust them in the face.

“I’ll f****ing die for this shite!”

Agent should’ve said “now’s as good of a time as any, ball’s in your court big mouth, make your move.”

We could arrest for disorderly conduct “language” in Texas. Like a traffic ticket, class C. Didn’t very often, but it would fit in during a lot of these protests.

Penal Code

Is there not a case to be made of obstruction. Force them to stand 100' away from the activity like the police have started doing.

I think we are overlooking the part where it says we have the right to PEACEFULLY assemble. It doesn’t say assemble. It doesn’t say raise hell and assault others or commit other violent acts. If you can’t yell fire in a theatre, surely looting and burning property or engaging in physical assault isn’t covered either

Not when it’s combined with aggressive behavior.

fricking never. The constitution doesn’t give us free speech with conditions. Freedom, baby!

frick you if you want the government to limit our speech.

Now, if you want to make sure they don’t interfere, but still allow citizens to watch their government, I have no issue with that.

I feel like most of the pothead libertarians have never actually read the writings and context around the bill of rights.

This is not at all what the founders would have considered “free speech”. This is verbal harassment and interference

Calling speech harassment is a slippery slope. What if us republicans took to the street and the government said we were harassing?

Don’t get me wrong, this mob action of surrounding the cops and blocking them isn’t right. But you don’t end our freedom and CONSTITUTION RIGHT because of them.

If you aren’t for free speech, get the fawk out of America.

That type of speech is not protected by the first amendment. Those are fighting words, a face to face confrontation likely to provoke violence. That was way over the line. They should have arrested him.
