    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.
