Police arrested 57 people for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor akin to loitering. Travis County Attorney Delia Garza's office said Friday all those charges have been dismissed after a county judge found insufficient evidence to proceed.

Isn't it cool that the pigs arrested them anyway? Maybe they should be hunting for truffles instead of trumping up charges against innocent people.

They'll still pull guns on the truffles, but better than them pulling guns on peaceful protestors.

Well they unload clips on acorns.

look, that acorn was an immediate and present danger to those officers' lives! Gotta teach those trees while they're young to respect authority

(If it wasn't somehow clear, /s)

I mean that acorn literally attack an officers vehicle. What else were they to do.

Maybe they should be hunting for truffles

For that they'd have to be trained though.
