I am surprised at some of the posts in this thread. Condemning the victim for fighting back and counseling “pursue justice through proper channels” isn’t, unfortunately, a recent thing. It has been almost 60 years to the day since MLK penned the Letter from the Birmingham Jail.

…First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great
stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Maybe it’s time for folks to re-read this letter?

This isn’t some random celebrity encounter he’s trying to cash in on, though, this is criticism of the government, which is kinda the top level of free speech.

Of course after the Supreme Court rejected hearing another Ohio case involving satire and the police, I don’t think it is at all safe to say what will fly in the courts, and what won’t.
