Cartoonist Targeted With Criminal Probe For Mocking Police

RENTON, Wash. — The Renton City Prosecutor wants to send a cartoonist to jail for mocking the police department in a series of animated Internet videos.

The “South-Park”-style animations parody everything from officers having sex on duty to certain personnel getting promoted without necessary qualifications. While the city wants to criminalize the cartoons, First Amendment rights advocates say the move is an “extreme abuse of power.

“Only KIRO Team 7 Investigative Reporter Chris Halsne holds a key document that really lays bare the city’s intent. The document was quietly filed in King County Superior Court last week.

It’s a search warrant accusing an anonymous cartoon creator, going by the name of Mr. Fiddlesticks, of cyberstalking (RCW 9.61.260).

The Renton Police Department and the local prosecutor got a judge to sign off as a way to uncover the name of whoever is behind the parodies. Halsne talked with three nationally respected legal experts who believe the use of the cyberstalking statute is likely stomping on the constitution.

      Oh my god “They killed Kenny”

      This is DOMMUNISM its like COMMUNISM but its more domination. The strange sadistic world of corporate control is slowly building up to a complete takeover of all human life and America is first.

      Can’t restrict nor censure free speech. They fear for their safety, as the People (the real bosses) are in the know and have all the power. These little guys are just prolonging the inevitable, their ass is in a sling and it’s about to get worse. Anytime they respond like this, you must look much closer at everything within their reach. Their contamination spreads out all around them.

      Are you sure this isn’t Quartzite, Arizona! Sounds like a police chief and city governing body running amok. Let’s nail their feet to the floor. What the hell is going on? This sic thinking seems to be realized within the minds of police and law enforcement officers everywhere. Didn’t their mothers raise them better? Get off your high and holy horse and wake up to the needs of the people you have sworn to protect and serve. Have higher morals, seek the high moral ground, and do all things as if you are doing them as your gift to the common good.

      “Can’t restrict nor censure free speech.”

      “They” can do anything they want if we don’t stop them.

      They (the bad guys) did 9/11, illegal wars, illegal occupations, death squads, torture, theft and more. Much more. They (the bad guys) just hog-tied and beat and man to death in Kommiefornia ….. and they are still walking free. You wanna tell us again what they “can’t” do?

      Are we gonna grow a pair yet? Time for real change yet?
