So much for the First Amendment! Christian preacher is ARRESTED for quoting Bible verses at crowd gathered for Pennsylvania Pride event - only for DA to drop case after agreeing cops violated Constitution
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Damon Atkins, 41, was holding a sign saying 'Jesus said go and sin no more'

  • He was arrested after confrontation with City of Reading police, who said he was disorderly

  • Atkins had the charges dropped within days by the local district attorney
    ...who is not one of the Soros stable, one imagines

#1 Shit like this and during COVID is why I don't back the blue anymore. Especially in demoncrat controlled areas.

#2 Yeah. This, the situation with the guy intervening on the subway in NYC, I think if I saw a cop in a tight spot against some thug, I'd call 911 instead of intervening.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away...

#3 If we had a real DoJ, then it would be addressed. "No one is above the law" - right (/sarc off).

#4 The real issue is the SGT and the two female cops and what disciplinary actions are being taken against them for obvious bias and dis-honesty in the arrest report/charging documents?

Watch the video from the article and then consider the following quote from the charging documents that the DA later dismissed without mentioning specifics: ""As per a court document acquired by The Lancaster Patriot, Damon Atkins faced charges of “Disorderly Conduct Engage in Fighting.”

The criminal complaint entails “the intent to cause substantial public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, he engages in fighting or threatening, or in violent or tumultuous behavior” and that Atkins “despite being warned by police just moments prior, yelled derogatory comments at an organization that was holding a permitted event.”

The Sergeant would lose his stripes for this in an honest department!

#5 A good, sensible cop seems hard to find these days. First the National Anthem in the Capitol, and now this. Fucking idiots.

#6 I have seen video evidence that cop is a co-conspirator with an Indian and a construction worker.
