The New Orleans police department is the government

They didn’t charge him.

"You just sit tight, boy. We'll figure out why we arrested you eventually."
Sounds like the South to me.

“The individual will (be) banned for life from all NFL stadiums and events,” NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said in an emailed statement.
You cannot make this stuff up.

He was a dancer hired for the event. He wasn't anywhere he wasn't supposed to be.

Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!

I'm pretty sure the NFL didn't arrest him

The comment I responded to brought up the First Amendment, so I think it's relevant to correct them.

The land of the free.

They mean they're looking at what laws the guy may have broken, not exclusively 1A. Probable cause gives cops a limited ability to arrest and ask questions later, and public nuisance laws absolutely are a thing.
It should be noted that stadium security initially held him, but the police did not detain him, and have not charged with him a crime because he did not commit one.

I'm sorry you're on lemmy so either you are fully against or fully in support of something.. Nothing in between

For unfurling a piece of coloured fabric!!
Go home America, you're drunk.
