Y’know, assault is generally defined as causing a person to fear for their safety. What these cops were doing was absolutely assault, bumping into someone’s shoulder is not. Plus it kinda looks like a football play the aide, Freeland and the cop were playing.
So there is a thing you can do, publish some non biased articles, then start publishing more and more radical stuff and try to use the neutral as a buffer.
“Yeah , I am saying some crazy hateful shit, but look at my other articles, you can totally trust me and anyone saying different is just trying to discredit me.”
