You mean the cops. Right?

I’m curious what the alternative is? I’m not aware of anyone, save you and the aggrieved police, who think this went the wrong way.

This is not remotely true. Furthermore, the way people don’t get away with stuff like this is via extralegal/extrajudicial harassment, abuse, violence, and sometimes assassination (see also: MLK, Huey, Leqaa Kordia, Mahmoud Khalil, Barry Cooper, etc), so we aren’t really sure that he has gotten away with it yet.

He beat a civil defamation suit; these cops still know where he lives. Do you think the events of today made them less angry at him?

Feels like some unfair downvotes, so I'll ask again.

In what other countries could one publicly shame the authorities this severely? I think that's what was meant here.

And yes, it's great.
