Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

- Call one streamer "big mouth" as they tackle him (Video 2: 0:30)
- Say: "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me. Now you're on your face" (1:03)
- Say: "Anything else you want to say? ... Sue away. Sue away. Now you got to jail." (2:28)
The LVMPD had issued a dispersal order three hours earlier -- several blocks away. But even if that was supposed to apply to people who had already dispersed, it's very clear the officers had no interest in enforcing it -- until someone said something an officer did not like.

As SCOTUS said in Houston v. Hill: The "freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state."

This is not just one officer losing his cool. There are too many officers in this video to count.
If this is how @lvmpd.com officers respond to protected speech, the department has serious problems.

"Enjoying yourself? You have nothing better to do?" - Why the fuck are these cops so triggered at being recorded, JFC the dude didn't even say anything before that, all he did was record them and they pissed themselves, don't American cops have body cams anyway? The streamer was right, they're a bunch of bitches. Dude got mad triggered by being called a bitch and that's why he arrested the guy, Lmao. Sad.
