Discussion: NYPD Arrests Teen For Facebook Threats Against Cops In Photos, Emojis

That posting should be most frightening to English teachers everywhere. Maybe to all English speakers as well.

were…illegal.

I wonder if this is an attempt to establish really bad law by going after someone who will be viewed as unsympathetic.

They used the emojis to get a search warrant. I imagine his lawyer will (if he is any good) get the results of the search thrown out.

Yeah. Lucky. That’s just the word I was thinking. Lucky. Muy, muy lucky.

Unless some libtard judge suppresses the evidence they, er, found as “fruit of the poisoned tree” because it was found (or what have you) in the course of an arrest and search made with no probable cause and in violation of the kid’s First Amendment right to be an incoherent punk on the Internet.

Also, if the kid was previously arrested on weapons charges, there is a chance that posting a photo of himself with a gun violated terms of probation. Overall, this article is short of details and long on a simplistic headline.

This posting is a little easier to understand.

Good point but how is that picture of the NYC cop not threatening?

The emogi cop is a NYC cop?

Exactly, I do believe that some guy tweeted a month or so ago that he was going to shoot two cops. He then shot them in the head.

This is threatening, not “free speech”. Kid is a POS with an illegal gun.

Of course the picture of the cop is threatening. But other cops don’t feel threatened by it, so…

NYC cops are pussy’s for sure.

‘Well your honor, that emoji bears a striking resemblance to New York City’s finest’

That would’ve made a good point. Can you see the slippery slope issues here? Why does the NYC cop get a pass?

The little scumbag was being monitored because he is on probation.

“In October, Aristy pleaded guilty to robbery in the first degree after he attacked people on two separate occasions in robberies, first with a beer bottle and then with a knife.”

“His plea deal included a promise of six months in jail, which he already served; five years probation and a court-mandated program involving counseling, drug testing and school monitoring, according to the DA’s office.”

The idiot was asking for it.

Crime rates are way down over the past couple decades. Cops need to justify their jobs so they can collect that sweet sweet pension and get like $150/hr for doing extra traffic shifts or standing around watching a utility company team do their digging. 2 + 2…

Now he’ll be sent back to RNS where he commiserate with his boy Emoney about how the world is against them and we can go back to dismissing him as a thug.

Because white people aren’t inherently scary to white people, but black people ARE inherently scary to white people. Also too, it doesn’t matter if the black community is scared. Ergo, idiot white police officer menacing the black community with a gun in his tweets isn’t a problem, but some idiot black kid doing essentially the same thing is horribad.
