Funny:
The New Orleans Police Department said in a statement that “law enforcement is working to determine applicable charges in this incident.”
And Streisand effect:
The show continued without interruption, and it did not seem as though the person was shown on the broadcast of Lamar’s performance.
- JFC...
  "We don't like this persons views so we're looking for an excuse to charge them. Not sure with what yet, but we'll find something!"
  This country is fucking disgusting
  
  I'm so glad to live in America where we have freedom of speech, and not in China where they are forced to go on brief and convenient train rides instead of 14 hour long drives to visit their families and friends!!
  
  Americans commit on average three felonies per day, usually without knowing and for stuff you wouldn't think is a felony.
  In other words, if cops want to charge you with something, they'll find a reason to do so.
- The New Orleans Police Department said in a statement that “law enforcement is working to determine applicable charges in this incident.”
  I feel like a lawyer should just be able to walk into the courtroom and read this statement and just win by default.
  
  Like at most a ban from the venue for violating the terms of service or something.
  Felony you can't dance with that on TV in New freaking Orleans is very
- Didn't that recent law against "antisemitism" make this kind of display illegal? Or at least plausibly illegal.

What is the charge? The article says they could face charges but doesn't say for what?
Is there even a story here? Wtf is this ap bullshit
- The cops are still trying to figure out what to charge them with. Unfortunately a common occurance in the land of the free. Even better is how many get picked up then let go the next day with nothing but a sorry because the cops have nothing to actually charge the person with
  
  They do not say sorry. I was wrongfully arrested and got nothing but contempt after being locked in a cage all night

Why were they detained?
- for being cool as fuck
