I love "we always announce we'll use lethal force, but to *de-escalate* we sent a SWAT team"https://twitter.com/maxrivlinnadler/status/1269023335402270720 …T. Greg Doucette added,
Max RN @MaxRivlinNadlerAsked about an officer telling protestors "If you follow us, you will get shot, do you understand me?" SDPD says, "Police officers are trained to announce the use of force whenever possible." Said SWAT team also arrived at the scene and "prepared to de-escalate the situation."Show this thread6 replies 102 retweets 257 likesShow this thread -


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

T. Greg DoucetteVerified account @greg_doucetteRemember: 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 …
