Banging on car windows is now a First Amendment right?

    Yep just like manufacturing consent is a reason to indict someone

    Are you saying it is a right, but you don't agree with it?

    Actually I was walking right past what you were saying because I refuse to have this conversation. The actions depicted in every video I've seen of the incident do not constitute a threat to the officers or to property. The only reason this is being brought to a judge at all is because of politics.

    Yes, there seemed to be a disconnect. I think what you're saying is that the banging car windows is a pretense, and the real reason for the arrest is for exercising First Amendment rights.

    The reason given for the arrest is the banging and interference, and I thought you were saying those are protected.

    I can say cops banged on my window or hood many times and never faced charges. Heck friends have just indicate to me to lower the window, open the door, or pay attention.
