Over a year ago, Ms. Mikisa Thompson was issued a citation by Garner PD for playing "Malcolm X speeches" while she was gardening

The GPD then conducted a night raid on her home and stole her stereo speaker

After a full trial on the merits, today a judge ruled she was Not Guilty https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1129500157119258625">https://twitter.com/greg_douc...

This is the kind of criminal justice news I like https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen">

Looking forward to Ms. Thompson being able to finally retrieve her speaker

And then pondering next steps against Garner Police https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">

One thing to note: had the judge found Ms. Thompson guilty here, she would not have been able to appeal

That& #39;s because North Carolina legislators, Democrats and Republicans alike, abolished appealing "infractions" in 2013 – even when police violate your constitutional rights https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦‍♂️" title="Mann schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mann schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht">

It& #39;s currently held as evidence (seriously)

It will be released once our courthouse computer systems are updated https://twitter.com/jesin00/status/1275430843180335107">https://twitter.com/jesin00/s...
