Excerpt:

Stapleton found that the Repent America protesters "singled out a transgendered individual for abuse," repeatedly calling her a "she-man" and saying that her gender identity would send her "to hell."

"Once fighting words have been uttered," Stapleton said, "the police can
intervene to the extent necessary to defuse the situation and prevent a breach of the peace. The response of the police in this instance was reasonably calculated to accomplish that legitimate objective."
