I know of two cases like this, where cops were fired for making political statements. Now they're back at work, and nobody can touch them. Flying the rebel toilet paper is protected by the First Amendment. I would be happy to eliminate it from public property, which is a reasonable goal. We can pressure businesses to remove it, but that's voluntary.
