      From the reporting I’ve seen on it so far, its not at all clear to me that any one even reported this/ brought this to police attention in the role of ‘citizen’. From what I can tell in the interview, the sherrif(s?) either were actively monitoring the thread, and/ or were aware of the thread from personal interaction and then chose to intervene?

      The whole thing should be getting FAR more press than it actually is. Its utterly baffling to try and figure out what these Sherrifs think the basis of arrest actually was.

      That all being said, civil liberties are an afterthought in the face of state violence. There should be riots over this.
