Freedom of Speech

The kid who shot the video of the teen girl thrown to the ground by a cop said this:

Brandon said he was unnerved to see his friend tackled and pressed to the ground.
"I think she was 'running her mouth,' and she has freedom of speech, and that was very uncalled for him to throw her to the ground," he said.

Did you catch that? She has FREEDOM OF SPEECH? This kid has no idea what the U.S. Constitution means (if he even knows what the Constitution is). Freedom of speech does not mean Americans can say whatever they want, whenever they want. It doesn't mean that at all! I have freedom of speech. Does that mean I can yell "fire" in a crowded movie theater? Certainly not! Does freedom of speech mean I can threaten the President's life? No way! If I did, the FBI and Secret Service would definitely be paying me a visit. This teenage girl having freedom of speech does not mean she can berate and verbally abuse an officer of the law. Freedom of speech? Before you open your mouth again, learn what the Constitution REALLY says, Brandon. One thing I've learned about teenagers... most of them have a lot to say and have an opinion about EVERYTHING... and they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Case in point... young Brandon from Texas. Freedom of speech indeed!
