Schrag ordered citizens to clear the room and shut off cameras recording the event.

Aww, what’s wrong with cameras, Mayor Schrag? Does the idea of being filmed all the time make you feel uncomfortable for some reason?

The cop said, “You’re under arrest,” grabbed her arms, and pulled her out of the room. “I can do this all night. I get paid by the hour,” the cop added.

Using this against the person whose taxes pay his salary is especially telling. He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.

If they won't let you voice your opinion in public do it at their house. Don't let these fuckers feel safe.

If cops are willing to follow these orders, they'll follow any orders.

Getting rid of the politicians and flock isn't enough. We desperately need to fix our police forces "it's gonna be hard" ain't an excuse

These cunts live every day without nearly enough fear of being tarred and feathered. That really ought to change.

Schrag moved to send the resolution to committee and prevent public comment on the issue.

The move passed 5 - 3

Seemed a fair bit of dissent on committee over whether to have public comments, so arresting commenters seemed a little harsh... in retrospect even.

I love that the woman give the finger and then said, probably not my most shining moment.

No, it is your shining moment!! Give them all the finger when you get arrested!! Hell yeah!!! 🖕🖕🖕

When your representatives don't represent you, shift the focus to who they are representing. Get loud and don't stop. Overflow the room for every public meeting of any kind. Dominate all public comment. These folks aren't your neighbors, they are neighbors to the municipal consultants the city pays to draw the master plan. Clear cut your trees, zone for data centers, build surveillance infrastructure, close your public schools, install unnecessary roundabouts and raise your utility costs.

Great, now she can sue the city for wrongful arrest.

Russians are getting arrested for calling Putin a dickhead, how is this any different?

I always wonder how many local politicians have been paid off by Flock.

That mayor DOES obviously have a tiny, stinky cock.

From another article:

"I believe that the purpose of public hearings or when there's actually something of substance, if there's nothing of substance, it just becomes kind of theater," Schrag stated

So dissenting opinions on needless surveillance is by definition "theater" and can't POSSIBLY be of substance, according to this poorly endowed stinkphallus.

We're there to do the people's business.

By shutting the people up, says the possessor of an infinitesimal and pungent Johnson.

He said he understands that people have concerns, but has also heard from Springfield Police on the usefulness of the technology.

Big "you may like your civil liberties but they're bothersome to the SS" energy from he of the malodorous micropenis.

Schrag explains that giving the committee 9 months allows them to look into the full scope of both sides.

Without in any way requiring them to respect the wishes of their constituency, Tiny Toxicpants neglected to add.

just throwing thing, after thing, after thing at staff is not an appropriate way to get results,

Said Schrag, whose own thing can be detected by odor three counties away, but isn't visible with the naked eye at a distance of one foot.

Lots of people will be facing tribunals when this is over. We the people will not forget the actions of fascists.

Ah yes, "Land of the Free".

Wow. Fascists gonna fash, apparently.

Springfield, Missouri, USA ↑

(Sometimes because there are so many articles about atrocities/indignities being committed across the country I feel the need to localize for readers who just glance in)

ACAB

Fuck flock and all the other companies participating in the digital panopticon!!! Power to the people!!!!

Violation of Constitutional rights under the Color of Law.
