“On January 20, 2017 while tens of thousands protested the inauguration of Donald Trump in Washington DC, the police closed off an entire city block and arrested everyone on it. The arrestees were all charged with 8 felonies each. This kind of indiscriminate judicial harassment is unprecedented; it was surely ordered from the top. The first trial ended with all the defendants completely exonerated, the prosecutors were forced to drop the charges against 129 [??] arrestees. Yet 59 people will face these charges.
The goal is clearly to terrorize protestors [??]. Even if every single defendant is declared innocent, the charges themselves are the punishment.”
