The American Civil Liberties Union says The Force, errr, First Amendment is with Sam O'Hara, filing a lawsuit on his behalf after he was handcuffed and detained after following National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. playing the Darth Vader theme from the Star Wars film franchise.
Are national guard trained in protestor rights? They aren’t police, aren’t trained as police, and have no business policing unless it’s a state of emergency.
Unless I’m totally off base. I don’t know anything about the American national guard. I’m not even American.
Although I agree they have no business being deployed as police, if they are deployed as police, they need to get some training, and this is completely foreseeable.
