Wonder if this would have happened if he wasn’t a retired cop
Sue the shit out of that dumbass Sheriff.
Threatening to imprison someone, and destroy their life, because of their political speech is terrorism; in a sane world the sheriff would be charged with terrorism… Same with all of ICE and the Trump regime.
He was imprisoned for a month. Who can rationally make 2M in bail?
We don’t live in a sane world so best we can hope for is a big fat lawsuit that targets the sheriff personally. Unfortunately it would probably target the county instead and just end up screwing the taxpayers.
Annnnnd, now I’m depressed.
As a reminder these are some of the memes he posted. The last one is what brought the charges against him.
T-T-There’s f-f-fictional M-Mafia in the f-f-first one!!!
Eat shit, fascists!
Public shaming and directed outrage work. One tactic of many needed to resist in this hellscape.
Whilst it’s wonderful he’s out, he spent a month in jail.
I ain’t celebrating.According to NewsChannel 5, Bushart lost his job doing medical transport because he was unable to post a $2 million bond to get out of jail.
Corrupt sheriff, corrupt judge, corrupt DA, and apparently incompetent defense attorney.
I sometimes watch good judges on YouTube. I’m not completely familiar with the procedure, but I can’t imagine a good judge who wouldn’t throw this case out at the first possible opportunity. It’s simply not possible for a good judge to set $2 million bail for somebody who reposts something from the president.
Literally, even if he had intended it to be a threat, and he obviously didn’t, there is no decent judge who would have let this case go this long if that was the only evidence.
I’ll chip in for him to hire a litigator.
Aye.
Add me also.
So the infuriating part here is the complaint that got him arrested is so vague that the arresting deputies/officers are uncertain if a crime was committed. Wow. That is alone tells you someone didn’t understand the irony of Trump’s own words being used as a comment about an incident that technically was also a school shooting.
It should be obvious that no one is in the right arresting you if they can’t explain why they are being told to do it.
“You can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride”
Or in this case, you can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride, the three months in jail, plus bail, and also losing your job.
I hate frivolous lawsuits. Thankfully, this guy’s lawsuit won’t be frivolous.
