In all likelihood, the security for the majority of gay pride events will be provided by gay cops… and if such an arrangement can't be made, then you then use officers sympathetic to the cause followed by those who are indifferent to the cause. And in all probability, how this individual was treated on the street will be a reflection of how he will be treated in the courts… But woe to all those fools if the Lord sent him there to preach and suffer for it in His name…
Dear civil rights lawyer, You may be missing the point about the police officer. If you look at the women, officers surrounding the event, they are gay and the officer himself may be gay the. Reason he reacted so strongly.
In the time since than, what has transpired?
You know cops hate God & Freedom
So I am a fan of gay rights. The people clapping when he gets arrested are so antithetical to their own movement. Gay people used to be locked up for expressing their 1st Amendment rights.
This is just wrong.
I am sick of all the gays having all there rights while talking ours away.
I'm an athiest and don't agree with this man's views.
However, I defend his right to speak and protest in public, which is the most important freedom in a democracy.
Does not look like, from what I've seen in this video, a lawful arrest.
The butch cop makes me gag
Washington State Supreme Court has ruled flat out that speech is not conduct (WA State v EJJ). More states should do this.
Pure Nazi
I'm not going to keep scrolling to verify where this happened. Did he say Redding, CA?
This Sargent needs to be busted down to patrol and be sued for kidnapping
Easy lawsuit
As per the Pennsylvania Record: In a Sept. 18 answer to the complaint, the defendants denied Atkins’ substantive allegations and provided 27 separate affirmative defenses on their own collective behalf.
“Plaintiff’s complaint fails to set forth a claim, in whole or in part, on which relief can be granted, and further fails to state facts sufficient to entitle plaintiff to the relief sought. No act or failure to act on the part of the defendants violated any of plaintiff’s constitutional rights. At all times material hereto, plaintiff was afforded all of the rights, privileges and immunities granted pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Plaintiff suffered no injury or damages as a result of any acts or omissions by the defendants. At all times material hereto, the defendants’ actions were appropriate under the circumstances and based upon a reasonable, good-faith belief that they were justified under the law. At no time material hereto did defendants act in bad faith or in any willful, wanton, outrageous, reckless and/or malicious manner,” the defenses stated, in part.
“Plaintiff’s claims for punitive damages are limited and/or barred by the applicable state constitution, by the Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and by the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any injury or damages sustained by plaintiff are a direct and proximate result of plaintiff’s conduct. Plaintiff assumed the risk of harm by his own conduct, including, but not limited to, refusing to comply with law enforcement. At no time material hereto were defendants deliberately indifferent to the constitutional rights of plaintiff. Defendants’ actions were privileged and/or defendants are immune from all or part of the claims set forth in plaintiff’s complaint. At no time material hereto did defendants act in bad faith, or wantonly, recklessly, or maliciously, or with a disregard for plaintiff’s health, safety, and welfare. At all times material hereto, the defendants’ actions were appropriate under the circumstances and based upon a reasonable, good-faith belief that probable cause existed to arrest and charge plaintiff.”
The defenses further provided that the defendants are entitled to qualified immunity and the plaintiff was not deprived of any of his liberties during the events in question, among other arguments.
For counts of retaliation per the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, malicious prosecution and failure to train under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983, plus state law counts of defamation, false light, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution and assault and battery, the plaintiff is seeking punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, plus such other relief as the court deems necessary, just or appropriate.
He was arrested for being an asshole, not for expressing himself.
Don’t like it? Then don’t say god or leave my country. Hail Satan! 🙌
That homocrowd is very powerful. They even forced the mighty Rush Limbaugh to stop make jokes about them.
yup total unlawful arrest.
Reading Pa is another town I will not visit. I will encourage all my friends to stay away from Reading.
This is still the United States and we honor freedom of speech.
1st Amendment! What city?
The first rule of street preaching is "Record everything." The second rule is "Don't get arrested, if at all possible." Get the cop to say he will arrest you if you don't leave, or quit preaching, or whatever. That in and of itself is a first amendment violation. Then leave and contact your lawyer. WE all know what happened in Dearborn right? Street preachers were assaulted, then threatened with arrest. But they left instead of being arrested and won in court.

That cop just likes other men wearing his handcuffs. 😂😂😂
So because the cops take it in the ass they just arrest straight people now?
If the police officer isn’t punished, the officer wins end of story.
Absolutely disgusting.
