> Stating that the local police are acting unlawfully (with lethal force haha?), as a prank, is dangerous. You cannot convince me otherwise. Satire of government officials is a fundamental and inviolable right of American citizens. As a form of political speech, it is part of the core of the First Amendment. If you cannot reconcile yourself to that, you should not live here.

This is factually incorrect. eg You cannot impersonate a government official, as a prank, then claim first amendment protections against damage caused. What you mean by "Satire" is either moving the goalpost or misunderstanding the concepts relevant to the case. Good luck with whatever.

We can 'impersonate' our government officials on national TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmUhLMLnatk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmUhLMLnatk https://theweek.com/feature/briefing/1019449/a-history-of-presidential-parodies-on-saturday-night-live https://theweek.com/feature/briefing/1019449/a-history-of-pr...
