How can someone so stupid be intrusted to enforce the law?
Cops so ignorant that they would act in such Gestapo-like manor, over political satire, and none of their chain of command or fellow officers questioned, or refused these illegal orders?
The entire Peoria PD should be fired, and prosecuted, and the mayor charged with felony conspiracy to violate the victim’s Constitutional rights.
