Officer Does Not Like anti Obama Poster and says "It ain't America no more, OK"

Good example of content based discrimination. Yes, the public school used for a public town hall may be a limited public forum, under First Amendment case law, and there may be regulation of the general use of signs (maybe) during the event, but any such regulation of how someone expresses their speech must be applied equally to all, and when you target a particular sign for its content, while letting others alone who also have signs, that is discrimination against that speech (the sign) based on its content, rather than simply prohibiting all signs. That is known as content based discrimination in legaleese, and it is unconstitutional.

It looks pretty obvious that this officer just didnt like the message of the sign and was targeting the content of this protesters speech.

Update:
If you would like to file a complaint, go here:

Complaints should be addressed to:

Major James A. Morris
Fairfax County Police Department
(703) 246-2918

Let them know that, contrary to what their officer thinks, this is STILL America, the Constitution has not yet been scrapped, the First Amendment still applies, and their oath requires that they respect the right to free speech of all Americans, even when the officer does not like the speech. The First Amendment does not just protect speech the officer on the scene agrees with, and he is not free to implement his own mini-constitutional suspension zone.

Be polite, but firm. Dont use profanity, but let them know that as an Oath Keeper, you dont appreciate the oath breaker they have on staff.

holy shit...

Man what a commie cop. It's guys like him who cause people like me , who once supported police in general, to NOW distrust and oppose the rogue cops like this guy. He says he can charge you with anyhing he wants to. So if you put the pictre up one more time can he charge you with "car theft": "first degree murder:???" He;s the one wo said it. Sounds like that cop needs a dose of "the treatment"!!!!!!!!!! "Street Justice" It's been done for less.

You are the one who is blind...you are telling me that the same thing would have happened when Bush was in the White House and he is holding a anti-Bush sign...

God people...get a clue!!!

People are so overwhelmed by obama's sanctity...that the rule of thumb now, is that anyone who dislikes obama or disagrees with his policies is a racist or an idiot.

Get your head out of your butt and see the light of day.

Seymour..they should call you what you are...>MORON.

[AStarSpangledGirl]

Seymour...stop being an ASS. You don't have to tell me ANYTHING....DOUBLE DUH!!!

And no..bigotry has increased thanks to Obama ....as if you hadn't noticed.

As far as your way of thinking...I don't know who influenced it but you are an idiot and want nothing to do with it.

Go away!

Country Sam, you are color blinded. Next I suppose you will tell me the white cops who beat the crap out of black man Rodney King did it because there was a white man president sitting in the white house at the time.

Tell me, do YOU make your own policies based on who happens to be in the white house at any given moment? Do all your family members? Friends?

Don't be ridiculous. You do things because you are you. I do things because I am me. That cop does things because he is himself

[SeymourLauren]

Duh. That's what I have been trying to tell you, Star Girl, that it is NOT an Obama/Bush thing. The fucking cop is a bigot, and would be a fucking bigot no matter who was or wasn't president.

It is NOT all about democrats versus republicans. Take their blue hats away, and you will see the democrats are just republicans incognito.

And you say people are *not* independent of political parties? Well just show me where any political party has ever influenced *my* way of thinking.

[SeymourLauren]

Man, sis, and to think people call *ME* paranoid! LOL
