       What happens when you're so upset at all the anti-Biden signs in Wickenberg, AZ you put up your own quite graphic anti-Trump signs? Trumpers get upset and call the police and they come a knockin', but if you're @Yoshi you know your rights, don't back down & then one day a reporter comes knocking and your story gets out there for everybody to see.Watch (and share) because there are more Democrats in Arizona than you might know.  #Freedom #FreeSpeech  #veteran @pbump  https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/political-sign-lands-veteran-in-free-speech-debate-with-police

       I had to laugh when @Yoshi videoed the last cop trying to intimidate him tried to get him to "identify himself." Come on. (1) he showed up at the man's door and tried to give him "an education" about his sign for several minutes; (2) the man's an Asian American veteran living in Wickenberg, AZ. Pretty sure the cop knew EXACTLY who was.  Oh, and why were other local's upset? Because his signs weren't anti-Biden. Take a look.

       @Yoshi BTW, the ABC 15 article accompanying the video seems to include additional info. ABC15 obtained police reports showing that Wickenburg police supervisors visited his home twice about the sign. The officers told him the sign was illegal and was a felony to have the images up.In between, he said a pair of men riding in a Wickenburg police SUV yelled at him, calling the sign “bullshit.” He said he complained to the department and was told the men in the car were civilian volunteers.

       @JamesWNeal @Yoshi @pbump When the police are recorded lying while on duty just to push their personal/political point of view, and the police aren't held accountable, then fascism will thrive. Using a police (military) force to enforce your political and religious views never happened in Germany except during one period of time during the 30s and 40s. I think the fascist were in power then. And a World War got started because it. History is important, guys.

       @JamesWNeal @Yoshi @pbump good for @Yoshi Quite frankly I’m surprised there hasn’t been vandalism or threats of harm. Now I wonder if they stop all the trucks with Fuck Biden signs and stickers?

       @jag0325 @JamesWNeal @pbump Thanks JD. I want to file a FOIA for all reports of "education" visits to houses with Fuck Biden signs. That should get their attention and keep them busy.

       @jag0325 @JamesWNeal @pbump In re-reading my reply, I was struck by how much being "educated" by a cop sounds like being "re-educated" by the government.
