Allow use of swear-words on protest signage, in keeping with the UDHR/American freedom of & rights to speech/expression!

During a peaceful counter protest in the presence of Nazis and KKK Members at the GA State Capitol in Atlanta, Atlanta Police arrested and assaulted a female counter-protester, dragging her away by her hair and clothing from behind, stating that it was due to "profanity" as her sign contained the "f-word" without use of an asterisk (or swastika as others did).

It is not right that Nazis and KKK folks (and let's be honest, the Westboro Baptist Church) openly brandish their beliefs and the law protects them WHILE she was dragged off FOR EXPRESSING HERSELF?!

We need to stand with her and let the Atlanta P.D./the NATION know that this is WRONG!
