184. Free speech = right to make an ass of yourself

Free speech DOES include the absolute right to make a public flaming ass of yourself. (It also includes the absolute right of other people to ignore or make fun of the flaming ass.)

But it emphatically DOES NOT include the right of the police to abuse, suppress and taser someone for acting like a flaming ass. They're all way too fond of that nasty little toy.
