Violating someone's Constitutional rights is certainly unreasonable.
You should read the various links within the article and educate yourself on why this is protected speech, and the precedents handed down by SCOTUS over the years.
It doesn't matter whether the sign lacks political 'value' in your eyes. It's expressive speech and 110% protected by the 1A. Speech doesn't need to be a compelling argument to be protected.
Just like "Fuck the Draft."
As a fellow independent, your position and ignorance on this subject is embarrassing.
I thought we're all supposed to be covered under the 4th Amendment here. There is no valid reason that journalists need "extra" protection the rest of us don't get.
The only reasonable response here, is that if cops destroy your house and the courts tell you 'too fucking bad,' then you destroy theirs.
Is that a crime? Probably. Would I give a shit that my retaliation would be illegal if my only real source of equity was destroyed by dipshits in uniform? Nope.

The WSB mods had repeatedly asked Discord for help because of the number of members, and the fact that the automated moderation tools were not able to keep up with the server traffic.
To allege that the mods were complicit is categorically false. If you're going to lie, at least have the nuts to put your name behind your lies.
One of the expressly-mentioned purposes of the Constitution is to provide for the common defense.
What happened in D.C. today? Hearings on bullshit conspiracy theories regarding fictitious election fraud. GOP "Senators" spreading nonsense unsupported by facts.
The actual fact that our Government was hit by a massive hack orchestrated by one of our primary enemies? No hearings. No comments. No consequences.
I say this as someone who is unaffiliated with any political party, and who never has been registered or participated in a political party in his life:
Our leaders need to be replaced. Completely. D.C. needs to be purged of every last politician who doesn't take their Oath seriously. Right now, that largely means starting with the GOP. They are too busy trying to suck Trump's mushroom than PROTECTING OUR NATION.
I think these cops should consider themselves lucky that the only thing they're facing is a lawsuit.
I imagine plenty of people, should this scenario have occurred to their loved one, would avoid bothering with the courts entirely and have taken retribution into their own hands.
Unsurprisingly, you are not as familiar with the law as you think. That is not a death threat - it is not even a criminal threat, as it doesn't meet the criteria for that.

His tweets have violated their ToS hundreds of times over the last 3 years. Anyone else would be banned, so treat him the same.
At the same time, inform the US Government that any other account used to violate their ToS repeatedly, whether "official" or otherwise, will also be terminated.
I've been reporting a profile for violating Youtube's hate speech rules. The profile name is "I hate niggers" and includes two videos referring to African-Americans as the same, as well as one calling them 'coons.'
Five times I've reported this profile. Five times Youtube hasn't done a damn thing.
"They may not have been the first to respond, but they were some of the accounts that did the most business, racking up retweets and likes with each amateurish counter to Trump's latest announcement, assertion, or declaration of fake news."
Aw, pobre cita. Are you sure it wasn't Trump's tweets that were amateurish?
Oh right, he's the greatest President the country or world has ever known according to his followers. How could I forget?

I don't know why you bothered to adhere to the 'gag order.'
The Government cannot unilaterally tell you what you may or may not speak about.
I'm not in a position to ever receive one, but if I were, I would absolutely ignore it.

No, they have not. Beyond that mistaken belief, context and purpose matters.
Maybe sit down and watch 130+ episodes of Critical Role before comparing their performances and streams to that of an attention-seeking whore.
