>A Washington DC resident arrested this week near the National Mall’s reflecting pool told the Guardian he planned to fight the charges, as Donald Trump continues to blame vandals for the botched renovation of the pool.

>After the Trump administration spent $14.2m renovating thebody of water in front of the Lincoln Memorial to turn it “American flag” blue in time for the US’s 250th birthday next month, the pool has been beset with algae blooms and peeling polyurethane liner. Trump has claimed, without evidence, that the pool had been slashed with a knife.

>Earlier this week, Trump said on social media that six people had been arrested “for the damage they did to our country’s now beautiful Reflecting Pool”.

>So far, the actual charges filed against people arrested at or near the reflecting pool have not included doing any damage at all.

>One DC resident seen on video being dragged away from the reflecting pool in handcuffs on Monday, Christian Miles, told the Guardian on Tuesday that he was charged with violating a federal obscenity law for berating a group of Oklahoma state troopers guarding the reflecting pool.

>Miles, a freelance video editor and former US navy submariner, has made it a personal project in recent months to “document the creeping police state” since Trump’s federal takeover of policing in Washington DC by filming himself confronting, and often berating, federal troops and officers around the city.

>He told the Guardian that he planned to contest the administrative law charge that he violated section 2.34 (a) (2) of the Code of Federal Regulations, which prohibits disorderly conduct by someone who uses “language, an utterance, or gesture, or engages in a display or act that is obscene, physically threatening or menacing, or done in a manner that is likely to inflict injury or incite an immediate breach of the peace.”

>Miles posted an edited video of his encounter with the Oklahoma troopers on YouTube, which seems to be similar in nature to his previous encounters over the past 10 months with other officers and troops. The only difference, it appears, is that this run-in took place after the president started to claim that vandals, not shoddy work by his hand-picked contractors, was to blame for the rapidly deteriorating condition of the renovated reflecting pool.


>In an email to the Guardian, Miles noted the irony that one of the Oklahoma state troopers he argued with before his arrest told him that the US was obviously a free society “because you can be out here and you can video all you want to … Go to China, they’d run over you in a tank in Red Square.”

>According to Miles, he was arrested seven minutes later for using obscene language as he protested against the security crackdown at the reflecting pool.

>Trash human wearing a Walgreens shirt gets arrested.
Lock him up. He's being a dick on purpose.
And reminder: It's OK to steal from Walgreens.

Some fucking freedom of speech you got there, mutts.

>>1521144
He'll likely be cleared of everything unfortunately.
I hope he gets kicked in the nuts though. He's simply out causing shit to post it on Yewtoob.

Reminder courts have repeatedly held that you can't be obscene with words alone to cops.

it's funny watching libtards chimp out over trump cleaning up a fucking pool

trump derangement syndrome in action

>>1521160
>Cleaning
Use your fucking eyes you retard.

>>1521176
This outrage will be quietly swept under the rug after it's proven it was vandalism.
Then it's on to the next outrage scam for you.

>>1521149
Obscenity is legally defined as being sexual in nature, which is clearly distinct from how cops attempt to falsely imprison people with it.

>>1521182
>s proven it was vandalism

tRump turns out to be the biggest vandal of all.
tears down half the fucking White House, has dirt bikes tearing up the front lawn, then rips out the algae filtration system that Obama installed, hires his pool guy to paint the pool so he can get free pool care of the rest of his life.

And then this idiot uses a motorcade for publicity to drive near the reflecting pool and knocks new paint off

>>1521144
The fascist rightwing that control everything aren't fully in control of the courts, so expect to see a judge who isn't in their pocket either throw out the charges, or for him to be acquitted.

>>1521227

>>1521324
I'm fine if he's executed tbh. Unfortunately the case will be dismissed.
But if we're really lucky maybe ICE will accidentally deport this intentional shit disturber.

>>1521335
you really should stop talking to yourself

>>1521336
No U, king of nocaps. You're lucky I'm here occasionally so you don't have to create multiple personalities to chat with.

>>1521182
>Bro you gotta believe me it was the Radical Liberal Antifa Communists dumping algae into the lake and sticking knives in the paint!
You people are an embarrassment to your nation.

>>1521372
What you mean is we've watched liggerals deface, attack, firebomb and teardown monuments.
If there wasn't some sort of pattern of behavior no one would suggest that terrorist liggerals did anything.

>>1521474
>we

Neither are you unless you can prove it

>>1521486

>>1521487
I wouldn't call other people non-americans if I couldn't prove I was an American, as the easiest response in the world is NO U.
