I really appreciate the work Fire is doing, especially as the ACLU seems to have lost some of its traditional interest in these types of 1st Amendment cases.

  It seems like a pretty "downhill" battle and repression wouldn't really have worked either way if no entity like this had intervened. It's a nice case to blow up for publicity and further making fun of such blatantly corrupt and incompetent cops, but I don't think it was in need of material resources to win.

    > but I don't think it was in need of material resources to win. The cops wasted resources on the failed raid that led to them being embarrassed. If your viewpoint is “material resources being wasted” is bad, then call out the side that started wasting resources first. They were the catalyst for “resources” being wasted.

      That wasn't my point? It was that the ACLU probably has bigger fish to fry. This one didn't need a legal intervention by the ACLU. They'll win this one anyway.

        Yes, and the police have bigger fish to fry as well. Your focus is still one-sided. That’s my point.
