It’s not a stretch to say that the APD higher-ups aren’t Antonio’s biggest fan as he has done such a great job exposing their systemic rights-violations.
From John Bush:
ARREST ALERT!! CALL FLOOD!! RALLY!! Liberty Activist, Antonio Buehler, was arrested last night for interfering with a police investigation. Per Joshua Pineda, Buelher was 30 ft away filming the arrest of a man who had just pushed his gf to the ground. The officers asked the man being arrested if Antonio was bothering him,he said yes, they then arrested Beuhler. He is now at Travis County Jail awaiting magistration.
Here’s our interview with Buehler in July:
