Police arrested a man in Texas early Wednesday morning for saying “bullshit” at a public city meeting a week earlier.
Police in Fort Worth, Texas pulled over local radio host and political activist EJ Carrion just outside of his home and arrested him for "tumultuous behavior” related to a Commissioner's Court meeting on August 4, according to a copy of the arrest report obtained by 404 Media. Video of the alleged crime on YouTube showed Carrion saying the word “bullshit” while talking about polling center reductions during the meeting before walking away from the microphone.

Induction of hysteria. Texas police are now mostly doctors from 1820.

Just making sure I got that right. You're blaming an outspoken activist who got arrested for activism for living somewhere you can get arrested for activism.

did I blame them? no.
I'm simply pointing out that this should be expected and the rage is too little, too late.
protest all you want idgaf. IMO we're way past protesting and should move on to active sabotage.
