    This is why I love the west coast of Canada, I can talk to the cops all I want, I can call them pigs, I can tell them they should learn to do their jobs, I can just straight up troll them and it’s protected.

    It doesn’t mean they won’t be absolutely shitty about it and try to start shit though.

      That’s generally the problem. Nothing good comes of engaging with the cops at a protest. Best case scenario is they do nothing. What case is they decide it’s become “violent” and order it to disperse.

        There’s no such thing as protected speech in terms of moderation on the internet. You are using a service you are beholden to it’s rules regardless of how arbitrary we feel/know it is.

        This is why a post office ran social media/ information platform would be dope.
