Description
-
Overview of the dismissed lawsuit by Jeremy Rothe-Kushel against an off-duty former police detective who arrested him during a 2016 speech by Ambassador Denis Ross at the Kansas City Public Library Plaza branch. Rothe-Kushel and a library staffer were arrested by private security during the inaugural Truman and Israel Lecture. Issues include freedom of speech, whether or not this was a public or private event, and confusion between library staff and paid security about criteria for arrest and removal from the event.
