#5Pretty sure the police aren't enacting the laws they are obligated to enforce, the government is the ones doing that.

The good news is we could probably stick some leads on either side of his grave and generate a decent amount of energy from how fast he's spinning in it.

The article addresses that.

Yes, bad laws that are open to interpretation, perhaps as designed. But the police have a lot of discretion and it's much easier to go after someone for an obnoxious tweet or supposed offense than it is to go after real crimes. We always hear "lessons will be learned" after the fact, again and again, but they don't seem to be.
