This Is Some BS: Court Rules DeRay Mckesson Has No 1st Amendment Defense In Baton Rouge Protest

This is some serious BS.

A federal appeals court says a Baton Rouge police officer injured while attempting to arrest protesters after the 2016 killing of Alton Sterling can sue one of the protest’s organizers on the grounds he acted negligently by leading people to block a highway outside police headquarters.

The officer, identified in court records only as John Doe, had sued DeRay Mckesson, of Baltimore, and other protesters who gathered as members of the Black Lives Matter movement. A federal judge had thrown out Doe’s lawsuit, citing First Amendment rights and noting Black Lives Matter was too loosely organized to sue. []
