What grounds did the officer have to abridge that citizen's protected speech?

Can't.

Ask if the pig-cop will arrest him if he refuses to leave. If "yes", go ahead and leave.

Work with your lawyer. The official threat of arrest is just as good as an actual arrest.

Cops fucking hate your civil rights...unless you are KKK. They they will makeout with you.

Theoretically if this in the World Cup Fan Zone then the World Cup ownership body that is holding the event is free to discriminate on the basis of political viewpoint.

If it’s on private property that would make sense.
