In what may be a violation of a person's First Amendment rights, police took a political lawn sign from a person's lawn:

3. This story isn't getting enough mainstream attention.

This was a blatant violation of civil liberties. This is what our country is going to be like unless we fight.

8. It Was Posted Here A Couple Times Here Yesterday

And I saw it on FB. But you're right, unless it was just covered locally it hasn't been getting any attention at all. Yet.

4. They love the Constitution, freedom and the law.

They love rights to property.

You betcha!

6. How is that shit even legal for the police to do?

If cops had come onto my property without a warrant to remove a lawn sign and I was home, it would have been a real serious problem, right then and there.

7. The GOP elephant with its trunk up a girl's skirt - hilarious!!

Bet they'll say it was pedophile-like and that's why they took it. The lawn sign should've shown a grown-ass woman and not a little girl. BUT the point was well made and very funny.
