My pro Palestine flyers that I’ve put up on public billboards, after I’ve confirmed that I’m allowed to put my own flyers up there, have been repeatedly removed over and over gain. Turns out my local police department is doing it. I’ve even seen an officer taking pictures of me and calling for backup. So much for 'Murican freedom of speech. US police are fascist insects and genocide apologists.

    Freedom of speech means that they won’t arrest you for it

      Try making a bomb threat in an airport and see what happens. They definitely won’t do anything because “freedom of speech,” right?

      Shouldn’t police only care about what is not allowed? I mean, they usually are known for making people not do illegal stuff.

      But if he is allowed to put flyers there, why are they targeting him? Is it maybe because they aren’t really what we think they are, and they are actually the loyal protectors of the ruling class?
