The point of this isn’t that he got detained and questioned because of the tweet. That’s completely valid.
It’s because police harassed and punished him for weeks afterwards. Police forced him into a mental institution for 6 days and court documents show the officers involved laughed about it and called him a “loser” in text messages to each other. That seems like extrajudicial punishment and abuse of authority.
I didn’t want to include my opinion with the tweet (so the quote doesn’t get buried by people who disagree) but I agree with you. It’s a pretty direct threat.
I’m no fan of the police but misplaced blame helps no one.

This seems like a FAFO situation.
