President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This could be the end of Trump!

 

Imminent threats of breaching the peace and fighting words aren't protected speech here, either.

If the Merseyside cops are monitoring social media for threats against the hospital or its staff, that's not really a free speech thing.

I'm sure AG Conservative raised the same Constitutional objection when cops were monitoring all those social media feeds in Baltimore and Ferguson, too.

 

The legal term of art is "true threats," but you captured the gist.

 

LOL

Because law enforcement in this country don't monitor social media for threats.

 

Thanks, I should have asked for help.

Apparently Brit Hume isn't rock solid on the 1st Amendment either.

 

Beyond embarrassing!


Police are spending millions of dollars to monitor the social media of protesters and suspects

 

In the context of what is happening in the UK as of late, the approach to speech is indeed an embarrassment.

If there were more journalists around here, it might be concerning.

 

You should start a Cops thread.
