Sue them professionally and personally
This video is just outrageous.
Apparently Dearborn, Mich., is a lot like Saudi Arabia.
Generally, you can’t sue cops personally for things they do in the performance of their duties. It’s called qualified immunity, but it is qualified.
The defense of qualified immunity protects "government officials . . . from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known." [emphasis added]
No reasonable person would think that it is against the law in this country that protects freedom of religion in the First Amendment to the Constitution that you could arrest someone for nothing more than handing out religious literature.
The cops involved in this arrest should be on the hook for cash out of their own pockets for their brazen disregard for Americans’ freedoms. The Thomas More Law Center is on the case; you can read their press release here.
