Ah... Good ol' Chicago Cops...

Police Handcuff NBC Chicago Photojournalist

Police release media members after about 10 minutes

From the article: "Your First Amendment rights can be terminated if you're creating a scene or whatever," the officer said.

When asked how they were creating a scene, the officer said, "Your presence is creating a scene."

There's a great video on the link. An impromptu interview with a Chicago cop well versed in the constitution.

The officer was quoted as saying the reporters mere presence was creating a scene

And that the first amendment can be terminated for creating a scene

Put them together and what does it mean?

The thing about the Chicago Police is that they're minutes away when seconds count.

Just because you refrain from using certain words does not mean that you are absolved or alleviated from the guilt of your way of thinking. According to Aquinas, just by having thought of it makes you guilty. Nothing I ever say, no matter how offensive read the rest
