Police arrested a man for making fun of police, SCOTUS approves.

Where's the "free speech" brigade when the state is actually censoring speech? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-rejects-ohio-mans-bid-sue-police-arrest-facebook-parody-rcna70435 #FreeSpeech #SCOTUS

That piece comes right up to the edge of explaining the catch-22 of QI — that cops can do whatever they want if a court hasn't previously ruled that its unconstitutional — but does not spell out that when a suit like this fails due to it never having been ruled on before, now the cops are free to do it indefinitely. Its almost impossible for the cops to lose.

@Spicewalla Yep! Absolutely broken system (that is working exactly as the people in power want it to)
