Police in Maryland need some schooling on the law

Here's a story on a big old 1st Amendment violation by the police.

Regardless of their opinion on the death penalty, the police are in serious violation of the 1st Amendment when they infiltrate an activist group that either supports the death penalty, or in this case, opposes it.

It doesn't pass the smell test for the police to claim their actions were designed to thwart violence by the group...a group that has shown little propensity for violence in its protests.

The police were really targeting a group that advocates views adverse to law enforcement. All I have to say is: "WELCOME TO AMERICA FOLKS!"

Unfortunately for the poor police, the 1st Amendment entitles U.S. citizens to freely hate the police, just so long as they don't resort to violence to vindicate their feelings.

The police in Maryland need an education in the oath they took as police officers, that oath being: To Uphold The Constitution of the United States.

I'm available to teach them the finer points of American government and Constitutional law.
