A Tenn. sheriff claimed Larry Bushart refused to take down a meme after being told it was causing fear of school shooting but police video shows there was never any discussion of a school
UPDATE -- CHARGES DROPPED against Larry Bushart, a liberal ex-cop who was in jail for 30+ days for a Trump meme post in a Charlie Kirk vigil group (Gotta think the @philinvestigates.com piece helped)

"This has everything to do with a guy coming onto a Perry County page posting this picture leading people in our community to believe that there was a hypothetical Perry County High School shooting that caused fear in our community " and we done something about it," Sheriff Weems said in an exclusive interview with NewsChannel 5 Investigates.

Fact is, there is always going to be a hypothetical Perry County High School shooting.
That's what the Second Amendment is for.
Anyway, if you say something that the cops say might "cause fear" in the community, Republicans think it's okay to send you to prison for that. More from the article:
We pressed the sheriff, "But you also knew this was an existing meme that was already out there on the Internet."
"Correct," Weems agreed.
Again, we noted, "So it's clear that he's not talking about Perry County High School."
"We knew," the sheriff said. "The public did not know."
