In 2016, police officers in Ohio pulled a man out of a crowd because he was wearing a “F” the police T-shirt, taunted him about the shirt, and ultimately arrested him under a “disorderly conduct” law. A few days ago, the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion denying qualified immunity to these officers in the pending civil rights lawsuit. I recently discussed a West Virginia case where police apparently thought they had the power to be the language police. This has been a widespread problem for many years. It’s not really that the police have sensitive ears, or that they’re concerned about the sensitive nature of innocent bystanders. It’s about respecting what they perceive to be their authority, as well as for use as a pretext to harass or detain people who are relevant to their interests.

There so under educated. They going to lose everything.but it's pure ego.
They have no authority the only one that has any authority at all would be the sheriff because he's an elected official
(DOUBLE FTP!) 😊
Back in the 90's, People were getting arrested over a Marilyn Manson shirt that says "I Am The God Of Fuck" on the back of it.
SUE FOR ABOUT $50.000.000 THAT IS A GOOD #####
police are the real sovereign citizens
Especially when the police usually use the same language themselves!
You can watch any number of videos where cops are using profanity to suspects or perpetrators of some sort.
It is not 'civil ' rights
What I find very disturbing. Is the fact that you have to prove that the officers. Knowing did something that is against your civil rights. We, the people, are told that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
My take on this subject is that the law has to know by now what is protected speech ect. They don't care. Only one person on a hundred thousand is going to challenge them in court over the matter. For myself I would not be a cop auditor but these people are very important in our modern day times and are probably all that is keeping the law somewhat honest.
Again proof of cowardice. Instead of buying the guy a bear and have a chat over a coffee or else. Just plain cowardice, hypocrisy, laziness, disregard to the use of language, effort to maintain own ignorance… Just full blown fanatic viciousness. It makes for a great picture for the guys in uniform in general. Keep at it.
Please continue to educate and defend us good sir
Don't you know the rules they can we the citizens cannot. Because there the Government.
Can't fix stupid.

After prevailing in an appeal to reinstate his First Amendment claims in the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, Case Western Reserve University’s First Amendment Clinic recovered $29,750 in attorney fees through a settlement on behalf of its client, Michael Wood, from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. Mr. Wood recovered a total of $155,000 from the incident after the Sixth Circuit reinstated his false arrest and retaliation claims predicated upon his First Amendment protected speech.
he got 155k
I always reply….18 USC Sec 242 ….83-85….you have been served. See you in federal court. It ends there.
Cops are not allowed to use the badge to enlarge their ball size.
In a ball size contest, these cops illegally used their badges to enlarge their ball size.
Why do they get upset when a citizen using profanities .yet they use profanities all day and night when making traffic stops.
Most youtube videos of cops making arrests show the cops using profane language. Is that different?
I'm not even a lawyer and I know this, how the f did this get to an appellate court?
To the ignorant piggy’s and bootlickers reading this comment… “haha”
It seems that the only people that doesn't have qualified immunity are the working class of America.
My research shows that most police are cunts, the front says shut up cont.
THE IRONY! Their behavior proves the truth of the shirt.
They have sensitive egos
Ego. Little picked on weaklings in school get back at all of us. Pathetic
8 years just for the chance to go to trial
What's wrong with Fund the Police? It's a response to all those calling to DE-fund the police.
I could be wrong, But I believe even though the police know they are arresting people for things that are perfectly, i think their goal is to try to make case law by winning in court on something…..like attempting to slowly mold the laws to the wishes of the Police themselves.
Even if he was filming that’s protected under the 1st as well!!!!
Criminals must be held accountable.
rotflmfao!
You can't fix stupid
