Oh really?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
'the freedom of speech'
It says nothing about political expression.
If reporting the actions of the police, especially when they have been
know to frequently respond to peaceful demonstrators with violence and
assault, if that's a crime, then the constitution might as well be
recycled for toilet paper.
If reporting where police are illegally barricading streets to abridge
the people's right peaceably to assemble, then we are already living
in a police state.
Nothing I've read indicate that this is anything more than he police
bullying people for being watchdogs.
