15. So the police were holding hostages and making demands that you give up your first amendment rights
The first amendment being first for a reason.

I'm glad you stood up to them, and it's appalling that it's come to this. This is state terrorism in such a blatant form, literally holding hostages and demanding your rights as ransom. Horrifying.
