I can’t believe he has to wait until October for a determination on this. The facts of the case are clear. If nothing else I hope he sues the police department that put him on a watchlist for terrorism.

If he wins this case that would be my first move. The only reason he was harassed like this was because he voiced a negative opinion about a city project.
