This article lacks a lot of detail. I read the court decision and there is a lot more to the story and the facts are very specific to this particular case. In a nutshell the court found the councilman ordered the arrest in retaliation for years of this man appearing before and challenging the board and not for one incident. Good for him.
Hmmmmm..
