To everyone claiming there were no arrests at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday, this is simply not true.
No, a Trump supporter was arrested for trying to use a gun against people exercising their First Amendment rights. He was arrested and his tacky Jeep with Trump flags was towed.

It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.
