Credible threats have less free speech protection. But I'm also concerned about this. The article doesn't have any details about the raid. If they were trying to arrest him and he pulled a gun, then that's just how it goes. If it was a no-knock raid, then it's closer to summary execution, in my opinion. Hopefully more details come out about this.
