- Do you want symbolic arrests?
- If so, where and when?
So this is what the Berkeley Police Department is doing as the free speech rights of anyone that doesn’t toe the leftist line are regularly violently shut down by antifa thugs.
This is about right, though. The left thrives on fake news and hoaxes to bolster their shallow farce of an ideology and this is really par for the course.

@stillgray There appear to have been plenty of 'symbolic non-arrests' in the last few days as well. All that rioting and police kept their distance.
