Because they're professional

This story is crazy. What you have to understand is that the cops were simply reading the room for those first few days after Kirk got shot.

The right wing has declared their intention to jail anyone arbitrarily for speech by blatantly lying that a "violent threat" was made, because that is the only real legal framework for arresting people over speech. Fascists usually adhere to a sort of pantomime of the preexisting liberal legal framework.

The police here couldn't even identify what the threat was, but they thought they wouldn't need to. They thought, like many did on all sides of the political world, that the Kirk shooting was going to be our Reichstag fire. Then it fizzled out completely. These cops thought they were on the bleeding edge of a roundup of political opposition, but now they're caught holding the bag and have no way to even begin to rationalize this arrest.

It's important that these cops see legal punishment on a personal level.

There are so many individual coups de grace that Trump could use against the Democrats, I wouldn't be surprised if he crashes his way into one of them.

Doing this should be one of the few things that gets you locked up for a long time

Here is the true way to judge abstract minimalist art:

"I could do that" -- Well you fucking didn't.

"I literally did do that, tons of people did that before the artist ever did, but if any of them had rolled up to an art seller with this they'd be told to pound sand up their ass. This is on display because the artist is connected to a cartel of money laundering capital owners" -- You might be spittin.

I love how almost every one of them is like "yeah, to be honest I'm not sure what the fuck my wife is up to, she could be how would I fuckin know"
