No no no no. He said I have a problem with the truth. The problem with the truth is him.
Well it's not a prop. This is real and he said I have never worked with law enforcement"

It's disappointing that the moderator stopped him from making any further claims.

    So I know laws aren’t real, but that is illegal isn’t it? I really need someone to do the thing I’ve been suggesting for years now and start actually using the law to target famous officials just for the clout, even knowing they’ll get off.

    You may not be able to get this guy in prison, but you can drag him off in handcuffs on reasonable suspicion and embarrass him in the national news.

    Several mayors could absolutely have had Donald Trump driven away in the back of a squad car for violating mask mandates. Obviously it won’t stick, but then you’re the mayor who had the evil orange president arrested, you’re career is set for life.

      the laws vary state to state, like some require that you try to arrest someone, in some states it's illegal to flash red and blue lights. Seems like in Georgia the law is that you gotta have the intent to mislead someone. Just a fine of $1000 or 1-5 years imprisonment, so it's not even that severe of a crime if you have money.

      And none of that really matters because I can't imagine Georgia police would arrest the guy in the first place or they'd be branded traitors by their resident chuds.

        1-5 years imprisonment is far from nothing, especially if you can threaten a big name with it. Again, the goal of this isn’t to actually get a bad person imprisoned, it’s to drum up your own media persona. If the mayor of Cincinnati had the President of the United States validly arrested for something like breaking a mask mandate they would have an interview on every news show that week, multiple book deals, and someone trying to get them to run for congress.

        And I’m sure if you’re an upstart mayor it’s easy enough to find a couple of cops who will just put handcuffs on whoever you say. I’m sure in cities large enough to warrant presidential visits the mayor can find a couple of cops who aren’t republicans. All cops are bastards but there are some cops who are also libs.
