From Signs to Shoves: When Peaceful Protests Turn Criminal – Assaulting Cops & Obstructing Justice
In this no-holds-barred episode of Hidden Threads: True Crime’s Untold Stories, hosts Macky Outlaw and Jus expose the razor-thin line between First Amendment rights and felony charges. What starts as a “peaceful protest” can explode into assault on law enforcement the moment a push becomes a punch, a water bottle flies, or a crowd blocks federal buildings—triggering obstruction of government operations under 18 U.S.C. § 111.
We unpack real cases:
- The Portland protester who went from megaphone to mace-in-the-face and now faces 20 years.
- The NYC nurse who shoved officers during a COVID mandate rally and got slapped with felony assault.
- Federal obstruction charges that turn a blocked sidewalk into a 10-year sentence when courts or agencies shut down.
Plus: undercover tactics cops use to ID agitators in crowds, the $100K+ lawsuits officers file for injuries, and the viral mugshots that destroy reputations overnight. If you think “peaceful” is a shield, this episode dismantles it—legally, tactically, and unapologetically.
Hit play before your next march—know the line, or cross it at your peril.
