Wait... Isn't this intimidation with use of force to deprive a citizen of their constitutional rights? If that was me I'd be filing a lawsuit tomorrow morning. I'm also confident that doesn't fall under officer immunity either.
You got him dead to rights buddy! Go take him to court so that he can get away scot free!

I am tired of constantly seeing the failure of the US in the news. The good folks at Myanmnar know just to report all their horrible events in one lump sum once a fortnight only.
I'm confused. So your response is do nothing and take it?
Not sure how you got that? I swear you americans have been politically neutered and have blinders on for the rest of the world.
Are you even replying to the right person here? This doesn't feel like a coherent conversation. Just more of a general shit slinging response
I am not the person who you are "confused" by but someone who is sick of the weird american bullshit about how if anyone points out the states collapse of the rule of law they are somehow "giving up". Extra points towards my ire by missing the Myanmar point.
Ok bro, you're boring and needlessly aggressive. Have fun with that. I'll be ignoring your nonsense now.
Have fun pretending you don't live in a collapsing empire. Oh but I guess you need to believe in the usa's checks and balances otherwise you are giving up.
Also based in your response I'll assume both those accounts are yours and you've been punted a few times already
Nope, Just one account here. Believe it or not more then one person can have issues with your views at the same time.
intimidation sure, but what was the use of force there?
The database line implies a violent response. It's like me telling you I'm making a list to deal with you when the time comes. The doj right now is trying to use this exact logic against the group that protested in a church the other week.
