I don’t grok this angle on the case. The beating was clearly contrary to established law under any conceivable circumstances (I’m not hearing about any citizens arrest which it was necessary to effect by said beating). I have no sympathy for the chesty thumpers should they be hauled in on charges by police and convicted in front of a black female Clinton judge. With that said it ought to be considered fraud and civilly actionable to obtain favors by false pretenses no matter if you’re impersonating a general or a handicapped person.
Isn’t there a crime called “Criminal Impersonation”
You cannot impersonate a police officer, or a military officer, how is this any different?
Yes the beating was clearly illegal, but it's a risk he took when he conned people out of drink money. The main point is that freedom of speech only protects you from GOVERNMENT actions it doen't protect you from private consequences of your actions.
