“Friend was violating no law by standing on the sidewalk and displaying his sign, and [Police Sgt. Richard] Gasparino had no lawful reason to order him to desist from that conduct,” the appeals court ruled. [More]
If he wanted to engage in police-approved speech in Stamford, he should have become a paid gunsnitch.
That said, it’s probably unfair for me to judge Sgt. Gasparino until I’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.
