Court Denies Qualified Immunity for Arrest of Man Wearing “F” the Police Shirt



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.

  1. EVENTUALLY AFTER A COUPLE OF HUNDRED OF THOUSAND LAWSUITS FOR $100's of millions dollars each time eventually all the LIAR COPPERS will bankruptcy there cities, over and over and over!!!!!!!!

  2. Cops are THE LEAST intelligent "professionals" that I have EVER had the misfortune of having contact with. The "intelligent" cops that I have ever been in contact with that are UNINTELLIGENT are FAR MORE numerous. Why is the bar SET SO INCREDIBLY LOW for people to become qualified law enforcement "officers?" I wish I knew the answer but it seems MORE clear tome that the kind of people who police work are the same kind of people who have a HUGE chip on their shoulder and CAN NOT tolerate ANYONE who questions their "authority" and that is only a start…ACAB!!!!!!! Cops EARN THE HATE THEY GET!!!!

  3. It is very clear police do NOT protect the U.S. Constitution under Article 1 : Freedom of Speech, religion and choices or Bill of RIGHTS being they take an OATH swearing to protect and to defend the U.S. Constitution! The supreme laws are NOT accepted to police because they believe in Police Immunity that was NEVER voted by citizens on any ballads .. 🤐🤐🤐🤐🆕

  4. What a psychiatrist has to say about the ego conduct of the use of feelings v. law. If the Gov. gave a Temperament test as they do in the Navy to work in submarines, they may have better employees working in the LAW, not on their feelings. The Law goes on feelings!.

  5. Police arrest people over profanity, but allow little girls to trick themselves out on OnlyFans, within their own community. Which is more profane? As long as the statutes allow porn, morality policing is moot. Accountability is the ability to count, the silent 10-count police give you before they violate your civil rights. Police, protect and serve child traffickers, but taunt and tease, harass and molest men that stand up for themselves. Police are nothing but homosexuals allowed to rape under the color of law, and if you resist being homosexually raped, you get raped harder.

  6. Qualified immunity is the biggest loophole ever . The police are never going to investigate themselves and find any wrongdoing.I mean a lot of people in Arizona think they have a police problem people in Utah think they have a police problem Georgia pick a state it’s everywhere that there’s no transparency and accountability and taxpayers are footing the bill.🇺🇸

  7. I was with my nephew when he was 6 or 7 years old (I think we were going to or coming from a ballgame) when this group of teenage boys got on the train and they were cussing like every other word.
    I just politely asked them to mind their language as a young child was right there.
    They seemed genuinely embarrassed and apologized, and they quit cussing. But if they hadn't there was nothing else I could have done. They were breaking a social rule (being rude) not a law.

  8. Nope, until this "qualified immunity" terd is flushed down and gone forever, there is no real incentive for the normal low-IQ lazy law enforcement officer to learn what the law is and/or to do the right thing per the law of the land, The Constitution…..
