Larry Bushart, a man who was jailed for 37 days for reposting a Trump meme, has now sued the cops who allegedly schemed to keep him imprisoned for as long as possible simply because they disagreed with his point of view.

Yep, he posted a picture of Trump with Trump's 'get over it' quote after a school shooting in '24. The smooth-brained sheriff (who was promoting the Kirk vigil) had him arrested, claiming the post' incited mass hysteria in the community,' and was a threat to shoot up a school. When interviewed, literally nobody thought that was the case.

Oh and sheriff also had an investigator omit key details from the arrest report that would have have released the guy practically immediately. Plus the guy they arrested was a cop for 30yrs.This sheriff should be barred from any and all law enforcement jobs for the rest of his life. Make him a grocery store cashier or some shit.

No, prison. These pricks don't deserve to participate in society anymore.
