Watch: Police in small Texas town show up at man’s home and remove ‘F*ck Joe Biden’ flag

July 17, 2022 | Robert Jonathan

A Texas man has shared a video purportedly of a police officer taking down an F–k Joe Biden flag from his property while no one was home. ... Michael Prather, who says he lives down the street from the mayor, uploaded to TikTok what appears to a doorbell cam video of the cop’s alleged unilateral FJB banner ban.

The officer appeared to leave the flag on the porch along with his business card. ... Prather claims that the same officer — noting the profanity — warned him back in October on behest of the police chief, when he first unveiled the FJB flag, that he, Prather, could face a disorderly conduct charge unless he took it down.

Prather insisted at the time that flying the flag was a form of protected free speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and that he’s willing to sit down with local authorities to discuss the situation. ... He also claimed that the officer told him flying the same flag on his pickup truck was acceptable.

The Texas man says he has contacted nine different attorneys, but so far none of them expressed interest in representing him in a potential legal case. He also pointed out that his home is not situated in a subdivision subject to any restrictions imposed by a homeowner’s association.
