Florida Cop Arrested For Wearing ‘Anonymous’ Mask Warns ‘There’s A War Coming’

204. You haven't pointed to anything that suggests that the constitutional standard

for first approaching this protester had been met. The circumstantial evidence suggests strongly that it hadn't been.

For instance, there is no indication that the cop was so concerned about an obstruction of traffic that she asked the protester to move or to stop holding the upside down where it might distract drivers. All that has been reported by those who have seen the incident report (and neither you nor I have seen it) is that the cop approached the protester and asked him to remove his mask and identify himself. If that's all there is -- a guy protesting with an upside down flag and a mask, then the cop had no basis, under the constitution or the relevant Florida statutes, to ask the protester to do anything. And the protester was exercising his right not to comply with the cop's demand.

Maybe something will come out that will establish a predicate basis for the cop approaching the protester in the first place. At the moment, however, all we have is your assumption (based on nothing more than blind faith) that the cop must have had a good reason and my assumption (based on the absence of any evidence to the contrary) that she did not have a good reason.
