Raleigh, NC: a man told the City Council he was going to sue the police on behalf of protestors

This thread is *only* protest-related stuff that's happened since 29 May 2020
Lots of other vids have been sent that aren't related to the protests; several are years ago, at least one was in Japan, etc. I tweet those out separate from this threadShow this thread -

Peoria, IL: Bill Barr's DOJ has federally charged a man for "using the internet to incite a riot"

We've talked about Brandenburg many times, including in the thread below It's been the constitutional standard on incitement for 50+ years An unsympathetic defendant, like the guy in the above tweet, would typically be used to chip away at precedenthttps://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1041461432506900482 …
Remember: Brandenburg v Ohio, 395 US 444 (1969), lays out when someone can be criminally prosecuted or civilly sued for incitement The speech at issue must: be *intended* to produce
and *likely* to produce
*imminent* lawless action

Well of course you don't; I don't either. That's where the doctrine "bad cases make bad law" comes from But it's practically impossible to satisfy "imminence" via social media posts. It seems like the US DOJ is running this case to chip away at thathttps://twitter.com/monicamiller202/status/1269066599941632006 …
